Building our Pacific loss and damage response

Pacific island countries are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The project strengthens their resilience in the face of climate-related loss and damage and focuses on understanding and addressing both economic and non-economic losses (NELs) caused by climate change, such as loss of culture, ancestral lands, and biodiversity. By working closely with local communities, governments, and various stakeholders, the project develops tools and strategies to measure and respond to NELs effectively. Additionally, it enhances the capacity of Pacific island countries to address loss and damage at the community, national and regional scale, while improving access to climate finance mechanisms. Through these efforts, the project safeguards lives, economies, and cultural identities in the Pacific while contributing to global efforts to address loss and damage from climate change.
