Abstract

The purpose of this abbreviated “Summary Report” is to provide the UN System and external stakeholders with the key results from a broad-based Climate Change “Scoping Study” to identify options for the UN System to scale up climate change support to Pacific Island Countries. The report contains a series of recommendations proposing potential focal areas for future UN System Climate Change programming work and collaborative opportunities. Specific feedback on the Inter Agency Climate Change Centre (IACCC) concept note and other development support mechanisms is provided. The scoping study was commissioned by the UN system in the Pacific with funding by UNDP.
