The PICT includes American Samoa, the Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Guam, Kiribati, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Caledonia, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and Wallis and Futuna.

It covers six themes, implemented at the national and regional levels namely: 

1. Implementing tangible and on-ground adaptation measures
2. Governance and decision-making
3. Improving understanding of climate change
4. Education, training, and awareness
