Resilience Recovery Rapid Readiness Support in Tuvalu
Climate change is a fundamental cross-cutting issue that undermines Tuvalu socio-economic development efforts. Tuvalu’s climate change priorities are articulated in the recently approved Te Kete Sustainable Development Strategy 2021-2030, national climate change policy, sectoral policies as well as in legislation such as the Tuvalu Climate Change and Disaster Survival Fund Act and Regulations. As indicated in the NDC, Tuvalu commits to a reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases from electricity by 100% by 2025.
Development of Tuvalu's National Adaptation Planning (NAP) to advance medium and long-term adaptation planning.
topography, size, geographical remoteness and access to resources. Despite these challenges, it has become a leading voice for enhanced climate mitigation regionally and globally. Tuvalu is now developing a national adaptation planning process (and NAP) that will form a sustainable platform for future adaptation investments.
Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change and Resilience Building
Pacific Adaptation 1 to Climate
Change and Resilience Building (PACRES) aims to ensure better regional and national
adaptation and mitigation responses to climate change challenges facing Pacific ACP countries.
It is being implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme
(SPREP), the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, the Pacific Community and the
University of the South Pacific.
PACRES is supporting regional and national climate change portals to increase access to
Climate Informationa and Early Warning System Project
The overall goal of the Programme is to increase the resilience of populations in the Cook
Islands, Niue, Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and Tuvalu to climate change
and climate-related hazards, through the delivery of timely, accurate and actionable climate and
ocean information and early warnings to facilitate climate-resilient policy, planning,
preparedness and response actions.
The Programme will establish integrated climate and ocean information services and multihazard
Integrated Water Resource Management
The Tuvalu Integrated Water Resource Management Project focuses on the atolls of Funafui, Niutao, Nanumea and Nanumaga working on developing drought management plans, creating water and sanitation plan, and collecting data and producing a toll to enable accurate forecasting of water shortages and drought information.
