Summary
The Project responds to ADB's Pacific Climate Change Implementation Plan (2009), which highlights the strategic priority for mainstreaming climate change considerations into country programming, and supports the priorities outlined in ADB's Strategy 2020 (2008) in the core areas of infrastructure, climate change, agriculture, and health. It will address key impediments to mainstreaming climate change, including (i) inadequate resources (human, technical, financial) at the national, provincial, district, community, and sectoral levels;
(ii) inadequate mainstreaming of knowledge and tools in key sectors (food security, critical infrastructure); and (iii) vulnerability of existing infrastructure to projected or anticipated climate change impacts in the absence of climate-resilient designs.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy |
The Proposed Administration of Grant, Papua New Guinea (PNG): Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) Implementation Project (the Project) aims to make PNG's development investments climate resilient and support the country's transition to climate compatible development,' as outlined in its national medium- and long-term development strategies. The Project will facilitate integration of climate resilience into development processes through (i) enhanced access to financial resources dedicated to climate change adaptation; (ii) development and dissemination of knowledge products and adaptation tools; (iii) better understanding of climate change vulnerabilities and adaptation options; (iv) increased adaptive capacity at the sectoral, national, district, and community levels, thereby building climate resilient communities, addressing climate change risks to food security; and (v) development of climate-resilient infrastructure-all prerequisites for effective social development, food security, and poverty reduction. |
