Republic of Nauru Framework for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction

This document – the Republic of Nauru Framework for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction (RONAdapt) – represents the Government of Nauru’s response to the risks to sustainable development posed by climate change and disasters. It aims to do two things. First, it identifies immediate priorities relating to climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR), in order to clearly articulate these for all government ministries, state owned enterprises, the private sector, civil society, communities and development partners to engage with. These priorities are described in Section 4. Second, it provides a general framework for longer term planning and programming of CCA and DRR activities, including guidance on their mainstreaming in national and sectoral development policies. This includes setting out the key principles that are expected to guide CCA and DRR planning in Nauru (Section 2 ), as well as clarity on the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders (Section 5).
