Abstract:
The Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) project intends to assist Pacific small island developing states (SIDS) to implement mainstreaming strategies by developing a guide to incorporate climate change into development planning, policy development, national decision making, budgetary planning processes, and implementation at all levels. The mainstreaming guide will âhelp map out linkages between climate change vulnerabilities, adaptation measures, and major national goals and policies, taking into account social, economic, and environmental considerations. It is to be accompanied by a training module with supporting material for testing through pilot workshops and fieldwork.
