Abstract

The present National Climate Change Policy Framework (NCCPF) sets out the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands’ (RMI) commitments and responsibilities to address climate change. This Policy Framework will guide the development of adaptation and energy security measures that respond to the needs of the RMI, and foster an environment in which the RMI can be better prepared to manage current climate variability and future climate projections. Recognising that a successful response to climate change cannot be achieved in isolation from other development objectives and programs, this Policy is informed by the goals of RMI’s Vision 2018 Strategic Development Plan and contributes to achieving the global Millennium Development Goals. In this context, the vision of RMI NCCPF is Building the Resilience of the People of the Marshall Islands to Climate Change.
