Abstract:
The Pacific island governments view climate change as a priority issue, but need clear objectives in addressing its impacts. ADB's position allows it to analyze the complex problems at all levels, identify appropriate solutions based on the varied geographic, social, and environmental conditions, and mobilize technical and financial assistance to implement solutions in a holistic manner. ADB's support advances the climate change programs of its developing member countries and regional initiatives, moving with partners to integrate responses while continuing to work toward reducing poverty.
