UNITAR C3D+ Climate Change Support

 

UNITAR and SPREP through the C3D+ programme are assisting Pacific Island countries to address climate change through developing adaptation measures and building their capacity to effectively respond to climate change. It is closely aligned to the PACC project which is funded by the GEF and Implemented through the UNDP and SPREP.

 

The C3D+ project is supported by a grant from the European Commission. Partner institutions collaborating with SPREP under this project include; the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI), Climate System Analysis Group (CSAG), Munasinghe Institute for Sustainable Development (MIND). The C3D+ SPREP component is part of the larger “Capacity Development for Adaptation to Climate Change and GHG Mitigation” project.

 

This partnership with SPREP is geared towards: -

 

• Ensuring that the development of under-resourced and vulnerable Pacific countries be more sustainable by integrating climate change issues into their national sustainable development strategies; and
• Enhancing relevant human and institutional capacities at SPREP and targeted Pacific countries through consolidation of regional centers training capacity and the direct training of a large number of selected trainees; and
• Assisting Pacific countries to effectively carry out adaptation planning and implementation.
