Abstract
Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change Design underground irrigation systems to help PNG adapt to current and future drought The Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) project is supporting the integration of climate change risks into policy frameworks and the implementation of community-based adaptation measures in 14 countries throughout the Pacific. These actions are intended to increase resilience in three key development sectors: water resource management, coastal zone management, and food production and food security. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), a small island nation located in the south-western Pacific Ocean, the PACC project focuses on enhancing food production and food security, particularly to overcome the effects of drought. Issues The climate and weather pattern of PNG is heavily influenced by El Nino and La Nina. In recent times, surface temperature has increased and current weather patterns seem to be reversed: drier regions are now wetter and wet areas drier. Warmer temperatures
