Project Documents
Coping with climate change in the Pacific Island Region (CCCPIR)’ programme aims to strengthen the capacities of Pacific member countries and regional organisations to cope with the impacts of climate change.Changing rainfall patterns, longer drought periods, increased cyclone intensity and rising sea levels are likely to affect all communities and key economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. Addressing climate change is therefore an urgent priority in the Pacific and countries have consistently highlighted their needs at regional and international forums
