Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation in the Pacific: A Practical Guide
AIMED AT: Country practitioners, regional governments and organisations, development partners PURPOSE: The guide aims to provide a practical step-by-step framework on how to mainstream climate change into Pacific island countries and territories development planning and decision-making processes GEOGRAPHICAL AREA: Pacific island countries TECHNICAL AREA: Climate change adaptation, mainstreaming BASIC STRUCTURE: The Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) project has put together this guide as a response to the need from PACC-participating countries to integrate climate change risks into their national and sector strategies and plans, and budgetary processes. The recommended approach combines standard policy cycles commonly used in the Pacific with analytical inputs from the climate risk management (CRM) framework. This forms a seven-phase process representing a broad outline of how to mainstream climate risk into development planning and policy processes, with analytical inputs, outputs and key decisions described for each step. Steps include: preparatory activities; situation analysis; problem analysis; solution analysis; design of the outputs; implementation, monitoring and evaluation; and review. The guide operates at two levels: strategic level mainstreaming, and "on the ground" level mainstreaming. The process is illustrated with detailed case studies drawn from the region.
