It details the Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) initiative, which supports community-based interventions in three key sectors: coastal management, food security, and water resources. Through practical demonstrations, policy mainstreaming, and knowledge sharing, the programme aims to reduce vulnerability and build resilience at national and local levels. It features innovative tools like tidal prediction systems, climate-resilient crops, and solar water purification technologies. The document also highlights efforts to empower communities via participatory planning and traditional knowledge integration. Regional activities include capacity-building in gender integration, cost–benefit analysis, and development planning. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 22, 2026
