Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in the Pacific
The Pacific is one of the world's most disaster-prone regions. The small size, remoteness, and fragile biodiversity of the Pacific islands make them exceptionally vulnerable to natural hazards, with low capacity to manage the resulting risks. In the future, climate-related disasters are likely to increase in number and scale. Disaster risk reduction and management are hence critical issues that must be addressed to avoid derailing the region's development progress. -
Stepping Up Adaptation to Climate Change
The Pacific Islands Forum leaders have long recognized climate change as a priority development issue that requires coordinated global efforts for a more effective response.

For their part, Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) have begun to mainstream climate change considerations in their national policies and planning processes.
