Appraisal mission: managing the impact of climate change on land resources in the Pacific : working paper 2 - roles and responsibilities of relevant actors on climate change in the Pacific

Abstract

An important objective of the appraisal mission was to scope out the roles and responsibilities of the various organisations and institutions active in the Pacific region, particularly with regard to climate change. The landscape of relevant actors is very broad and varied, ranging from national governmental and non-governmental organisations to numerous regional and national organisations to also include various donor agencies, which all assume different responisibilities and work at different levels of policy or programme development and implementation. In order to grasp the structure and functionality of the organisational set-sup and gain an understanding of the respective roles with regards to designing and implementing measures related to both climate change mitigation and adaptation, a number of discussions with experts and representatives of those organisations was necessary.
