Abstract

This Joint National Action Plan (JNAP) for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management provides a detailed strategy for holistically and co-operatively addressing risk in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The JNAP is the result of extensive national consultations with relevant stakeholders and is built upon the strong foundations of the RMI’s Disaster Risk Management National Action Plan (DRM NAP). The incorporation of actions to address the crucial issue of climate change, which is likely to severely and negatively impact upon livelihoods in the RMI, provides an updated action plan which does not differentiate between the source of risk, whether it be climate driven or otherwise. The RMI has been able to effectively plan for mainstreaming risk reduction across all sectors via activities detailed in this JNAP.
