National Adaptation Plan: A Pathway Towards Climate Resilience, 2018 (Fiji)

Th National Adaptation Plan (NAP) of Fiji embodies adaptation efforts across multiple government entities consolidated under one document. The NAP aims to influence and accelerate the national development pathway towards climate-resilient development. It seeks to improve resilience against changes in climate but also climate variability which is projected increase under future scenarios. The NAP contains 160 adaptation measures to be prioritized over the five-year period of the NAP. They do not represent the only actions that will be undertaken, simply the actions identified as the most urgent on the basis of stakeholder consensus. The prioritized actions are split across a total of 10 systems and sectoral components. System components and adaptations identified are those required to instigate a paradigm shift by altering system processes to enable and increase investment flows to adaptation as well as creating an enabling environment for climate-resilient development to occur. Sectoral adaptations represent components and actions especially relevant to both society and the economy and which are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
