Strategy for Disaster and Climate Resilient Development in the Pacific

1. Strategy for Disaster and Climate Resilient Development in the Pacific - Possible SRDP Scope, Goal, Objectives and Structure of the SRDP - Cristelle Pratt and John E. Hay (Regional Advisors) SRDP Steering Committee and Technical Working Group

2. PICs - Progress with MDGs Highly Sensitive to Climate Change and Hazards

3. Private investment largely determines disaster & climate risk A climate ready Port Facility. Avatiu Harbour, Rarotonga Over-waterbungalows In a cyclone prone area. Mamanuca Islands, Fiji

4. The Policy Landscape Hyogo Framework for Action, 2005 Strategy for Disaster and Climate Resilient Development in the Pacific Pacific Islands Framework for Action on Climate Change, 2005 Pacific DRR & DMFramework for Action, 2005 Pacific Plan, 2005

5. The Institutional Landscape International NGOs International NGOs IPCC/ GEF UNFCCC Secretariat Disaster Risk Management Climate Change GFDRR UNISDR Pacific DRM Partnership Network Regional NGOs Regional NGOs Pacific CC Roundtable Donors/NDMOs/ NGOs Donors/Govt. Agencies/NGOs National DRM Councils Climate Change Country Teams Local DRM Agencies/ Communities CBOs/ NGOs CBOs/ NGOs Local Govt./ Communities

6. Proposed Scope and Focus of the Strategy “Building and Sustaining Resilience” includes human security and humanitarian responses

7. Proposed Purpose of the Strategy • Guidance to enhance resilience • Pacific island countries and territories • Private sector • Civil society • Development partners (donors and regional organisations etc.)

8. All Natural Hazards, All Risks, All Scales Actual Time-Space Scales Vary Global Global Warming Regional Sea LevelRise Ocean Temperature Extreme Ocean Acidification Sub-regional Sea level Extreme Cyclone Tsunami Heat Wave Cold Snap Country Drought Ocean Swells Province/State Earthquake Fire Island Volcano Thunderstorm Tornado Flood Local Hour Day Week Month Year Decade Century

9. Possible Content of Strategy • Where are we at? • Where do we want to be? • How will we get there? • Strategy • Resource Mobilization • How will we measure progress?

10. Pillars of Disaster and Climate Resilient Development - Possible Objectives for the Strategy - Disaster and Climate Resilient Development Capacity for Implementation Managementof New and Emerging Issues Low Carbon Development Strengthened Preparedness, Response and Recovery Strengthened Risk Management

11. Approaches to Resilient Development Capacity for Implementation Reduce Exposure Transfer and Share Risks Increase Resilience to Ongoing Risks Capacity for Implementation Prepare, Respond and Recover Low Carbon Development Reduce Vulnerability

12. Proposed Structure Under Each Pillar • Baseline, Challenges and Opportunities • Objective • Key Results Targets • Targetted and Practical Guidance to: • PICTs (including national, sub-national, sectors etc) • Private Sector • Civil Society • Development Assistance Partners (donors, regional orgs. etc)

13. 1. Strengthened Risk Management • Focus: Natural hazard risks, including those exacerbated by climate change, are reduced. • Headline message: Development-centred disaster and climate risk management has the potential to ensure resilient development outcomes.

14. 2. Low Carbon Development • Focus: Energy self-sufficiency, conservation and security; greenhouse gas emissions reduction; resilient energy infrastructure. • Headline message: Pacific economies are highly vulnerable due to near total reliance on imported fossil fuels.

15. 3. Strengthened Preparedness, Response and Recovery • Focus: Disaster preparedness, response and recovery initiatives prevent undue human suffering, and minimise adverse consequences for national and sub-national economies, and social and environmental systems. • Headline message: Coordinated and collaborative humanitarian action is vital, to avoid duplication and enhance collective efforts to support PICTs in disaster management.

16. 4. Managementof New and Emerging Issues • Focus: New and emerging issues identified and managed in a timely and effective manner. • Headline message: Requires a systematic process that continually improves management policies and practices.

17. Effective and Efficient Implementation • Effective Decision-making • Strengthened Institutional Arrangements • Partnerships and Coordination • Information and Knowledge Management, Communications, and Advocacy • Adequate and Effective Resource Mobilization • Life-cycle Approach to Monitoring, Reporting, Evaluation and Learning

18. Effective and Efficient Implementation • Effective Decision-making • Strengthened Institutional Arrangements • Partnerships and Coordination • Information and Knowledge Management, Communications, and Advocacy • Adequate and Effective Resource Mobilization • Life-cycle Approach to Monitoring, Reporting, Evaluation and Learning

19. Engagement Process • ALL stakeholders • continued engagement in SRDP preparation • inclusion – leadership – ownership • quality and relevance • effective implementation

20. Next Steps • Continued Engagement with All Stakeholders • Approval process in 2014 • Steering Committee • Regional (FEMM, CRGA, SPREP Council, PPAC) • Endorsement by Pacific Leaders in 2015

21. Preparing the SRDP: Ongoing Engagement; Not One-off Consultation
