CTA-Brussels Office Web Blog: Pacific small island States most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change will benefit from a new climate resilience project worth EUR11.4 million, funded by the EU and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) over the next four years, the SPC has announced.The project, titled "Increasing Climate Resilience of Pacific Small Islands States through the Global Climate Change Alliance," will support the Governments of Cook Islands, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Tonga and Tuvalu in their efforts to tackle the adverse effects of climate change. It will promote the development of long-term strategies and approaches to adaptation planning, and pave the way for more effective and coordinated delivery of aid for climate change response at the national and regional level.

In addition, the project also will provide assistance to countries to help identify, design and implement practical, on-the-ground climate change adaptation activities, in accordance with their established priorities. At least one concrete adaptation project will be implemented in each of the nine countries.
