Tuvalu faces several development challenges as one of Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The National Strategy for Sustainable Development (2016-2020) (TK III) addresses these challenges and provides important guidelines on Tuvalu’s sustainable development.

This National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Framework has been developed to provide strategic
guidance to Tuvalu’s NAP process. The NAP Framework draws on a culmination of
assessments, including the findings of the integrated vulnerability assessment, detailed
desk review, and stocktake of legislation, policies and plans relevant to climate change
adaptation.
