Experiences to date (PIC example)3. Challenges for PICTs and partners/donors4. Future of mainstreaming CCA/DRM

Integrated implementation - regional and national level mainstreaming

Improved coordination and collaboration between regional and national platforms for CCA and DRM

Theme 5: Effective, integrated and people-focused early warning systems

Theme 6: Reduction of underlying risk factors

Principle 1:Implementing adaptation measures

Principle 2:Governance and decision making

Principle 3:Improve understanding of climate change

Principle 4:Education Training and Awareness

Principle 5:Contributing to global greenhouse gas reduction

Principle 6: Partnership and cooperation

JNAP Principles

• Whole of Government/whole of country approach (everyone has a role to play?)• address all the drivers affecting poverty and vulnerabilities/ an all hazards approach?• a shift of mind set from being vulnerable/the victim ...to taking control of your future/development• No risks ? – Know your risks• Pre cautionary approach while planning in uncertainties • Integrated planning/inter-sectoral • Coordination and collaboration is key when there is limited resources/limited capacity...

JNAP Planning Process:

1.Government of Niue Request – 2010

2. Key National Policies guiding the Process:

• Niue National Integrated Strategic Plan (2009-2013)• Forest Policy 2004• Niue National Energy Policy 2005• Niue National Coastal Policy 2009• Niue National Climate Change Policy 2010• Niue National Emergency Plan 2009• The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management 2010

Developing the JNAP- A country example

Disaster Risk Reduction & Climate Change Adaptation Responsibilities:

• Building Code Act 1992• Census Act 1971• Civil Aviation Act 1999• Communications Act 1989• Education Act 1989• Electric Power Supply Act 1960• Environment Act 2003• Public Emergency Act 1979• Public Health Act 1965• Transport Act 1965• Water Resources Act 1996

Developing the JNAP- A country example

Challenges for PICTs and partnersChallenges for PICTs and partners• Ownership and leadership of planning and

implementation by PICs– NAPs are only as good as the people who are driving it

• Capacity at national and regional level– Time, human and other resources

• Donor/partner coordination – making sense of what’s available to support NAP implementation

• ‘Recognition’ of NAP and other similar planning processes

• Country level coordination: DRM + CC + all stakeholders• Sharing of information/information management

Future of mainstreaming – Joint Meetings of CC Future of mainstreaming – Joint Meetings of CC and DRM Stakeholders and DRM Stakeholders (3/3) (3/3)

• 2015 Joint DRM/CCA Roadmap

• 2013 Pacific Exposition for Climate Change & Disaster Risk Management– Met Services, Environment,

Disaster Managers, Finance/Planning and other sectors, civil society, private sector, fisheries, local government etc

With respects to DRM there have been discussions with Fisheries particularly in regards to bathymetric and offshore/onshore data collected for infrastructure development, fisheries management, hazard mapping eg storm waves, tsunamis. These all contribute to DRR.

•Tonga JNAP – HOF committee member•Niue JNAP- DAFF HOF committee that finalised the JNAP plan.•Nauru- SPC and Nauru Fisheries and Marine Resources Authority.•Cook Islands- Prime Minister’s office /Chief of Staff.•Solomon Islands CC component to the sectoral plan•Tuvalu- HOF consultations and development, JNAP tabled in Parliament .•Vanuatu- JNAP consultations commence in July and government aim is that it is endorsed and published for circulation by end of the year.

Fisheries sector involvement in JNAP consultations on Joint NAP development.

1. The JNAP is a process that presents opportunities for coordination , integration and open dialogue

2. You will always have opportunities to engage –assistance to raise Fisheries Sector priorities in CCA and DRR/DRM.

3. The JNAP have M&E tagged to it so its ongoing and intended to absorb new and emerging sector issues.

4. Invite your sector concerns, what assistance you need etc.
