About

The IUCN Oceania Climate Change Programme aims to help Pacific Island Countries build resilience to climate change by:
1. Safeguarding biodiversity by positioning nature conservation at the heart of community and country responses to their energy needs.
2. Integrating sustainable energy systems into developing new and expanded livelihoods.
3. Reducing plastic waste generation and leakage from islands, and driving the circular economy forward.

Status

Ongoing

The Pacific Islands Roundtable for Nature Conservation (PIRT) is supported by the Pacific BioScapes Programme.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is a European Union (EU) funded action, managed and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).
The Programme contributes to the sustainable development of Pacific Small Island Developing States through the implementation of 30 focused activities taking place across a diversity of ecosystems in 11 countries (Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu) that will address critical issues concerning coastal and marine biodiversity, and ecosystem-based responses to climate change adaptation.
