National Climate Change Policy Framework, 2011 (Marshall Islands)

The National Climate Change Policy Framework (NCCPF) embodies the Republic of the Marshall Islands' (RMI) commitments and responsibilities in relation to the action against climate change. It responds to the needs of RMI and ensures its preparation for climate change impact by steering the development of adaptation and energy security measures. The policy takes off from the goals of RMI's Vision 2018 Strategic Development Plan in recognition of the reality that a climate change cannot be addressed separately from other development objectives and programs. 

The NCCPF presents five strategic goals that provide a pathway to an integrated and whole of country response. Corresponding objectives and outcomes are further identified for each goal. 

The goals include: 

1. Strengthening the Enabling Environment for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation, including Sustainable Financing 
2. Adaptation and Reducing Risks for a Climate Resilient Future 
3. Energy Security and Low-Carbon Future 
4. Disaster Preparedness, Response and Recovery 
5. Building Education and Awareness, Community Mobilization, whilst being mindful of Culture, Gender and Youth
