MEDIA ADVISORY

PACIFIC RESILIENCE WEEK TO ADDRESS NEGATIVE IMPACT OF CLMATE CHANGE AND DISASTERS

29 September, 2017

Governments and partners from across the region will hold a series of meetings to mark Pacific Resilience Week from 2 - 6 October, 2017, focused on protecting lives and livelihoods from the negative impact of climate change and disasters.  The meetings will aim to strengthen coherence and effectiveness of various humanitarian, climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction initiatives for the benefit of people around the region.
Under the theme 'Pathways to a Resilient Pacific', Pacific Resilience Week brings together more than 200 officials from national and local government, as well as representatives from civil society, the private sector, academia, the UN and various development partners.
The set of meetings will strengthen the implementation of the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific (FRDP), the set of principles endorsed last year by the region's leaders to build resilience to climate change and disasters.
