The overall objective of the GCCA+ SUPA project is to enhance climate change adaptation and resilience within the ten (10) Pacific Island countries

The GCCA Project in Tonga focus on the following key result areas (KRAs);

1. Conduct an assessment, feasibility study and conceptual design for coastal protection system along the entire northern coastline of Tongatapu (Niutoua to Ha’atafu including the Fanga’uta Lagoon);
2. Implement small-scale coastal adaptation and ecosystem-based measures in northwest Tongatapu (Sopu to Ha’atafu);
3. Enhance awareness about the impacts of climate change and disaster risks in Tonga

These KRAs relate to the three key outputs of the GCCA+ SUPA Project.

The Global Climate Change Alliance Plus – Scaling up Pacific Adaptation  Project is scaling up climate change adaptation measures in specific sectors and it is supported by knowledge management and capacity building.
