Tuvalu is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change due to its topography, size, geographical remoteness and access to resources. Despite these challenges, it has become a leading voice for enhanced climate mitigation regionally and globally. Tuvalu is now developing a national adaptation planning process (and NAP) that will form a sustainable platform for future adaptation investments. This request for funding will target the following outcomes:
• Enhanced capacity to deliver effective climate change adaptation planning through a strengthened institutional set-up (Outcome 1)
• Adaptation planning and governance and institutional coordination strengthened (Outcome 2)
• Evidence produced to design adaptation solutions for maximum impact (Outcome 3)
• National adaptation plan developed and endorsed (Outcome 4)
• Development of a Climate Change Adaptation financing strategy for mid and long-term CCA (Outcome 5)
These outcomes are interlinked and mutually reinforcing; this is reflected in the design and sequencing of activities which will help achieve them. For example, the identification and appraisal of adaptation options provide a sufficiently detailed basis for future climate finance.
