SPREP is an intergovernmental organisation charged with promoting cooperation among Pacific Island
countries and territories to protect and improve their environment and ensure sustainable development, it
comprises 21 members and includes metropolitan members: Australia, New Zealand, France, United
Kingdom and United States of America.

SPREP is currently supporting Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Nauru, Niue and Tuvalu to undergo a
national adaptation planning process and the development of a National Adaptation Plan under the Green
Climate fund (GCF), that will form a sustainable platform for future adaptation investments.

The adaptation planning process consists of:
• Capacity and institutional strengthening
• Adaptation planning governance and institutional conditions
• Evidence-based adaptation solutions for maximum impact
• Adaptation Framework; and
• Concept notes to advance the implementation of the NAP

To support evidence-based adaptation solutions for maximum impact, SPREP has requested climate impact,
risk and vulnerability assessments (CIVRA) for the four participating countries. SPREP have engaged CSIRO
to conduct CIVRAs for FSM, Nauru, Niue and Tuvalu. The CIVRAs will inform the prioritisation of climate
action and investment in adaptation.
