Increasing resilience to the health risks of climate change in the Federated States of Micronesia
Climate change is increasingly impacting the health of the Federated States of Micronesia’s (FSM) population, particularly through increased food-, water- and vector-borne diseases, which are identified as the most pressing climate-health sensitive challenge facing the country. This project will enhance the population's resilience to climate-sensitive health outcomes by focusing on climate-induced disease prevention and improving early warning interventions.
The project will deliver three outcomes: strengthened climate-health policies and systems for effective adaptation; early warning systems to support timely responses to climate-sensitive diseases and increased resilience of communities to climate-related health risks. It will ensure that policies, systems, and processes are institutionalised in FSM so that effective adaptation responses can be made to these climate-related threats. Health information early warning systems will monitor environmental conditions, forecast high-risk conditions, send alerts to the population, and establish a mechanism for early response. The project will also support Locally-led Adaptation principles, with a stakeholder-led public engagement plan targeting local communities.
GCF support through the Readiness Programme and Project Preparation Facility (PPF) was provided to develop the project, which evolved from the FSM country programme.
