Overview

Building resilience to climate change has featured in national dialogue and political commitments of Papua New Guinea for over a decade. Recognised as an acute challenge for PNG, Government and partners have committed to mainstream climate action in their planning and delivery. PNG’s geography, its economic base, its exposure to external shocks and limited capacity across Government however, make these challenges difficult to address. A phased approach to adaptation planning with GCF support is suggested. This proposal will support PNG address these challenges.
