Palau, like any other small island state in the Pacific region, is vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change and disasters. The direct impacts are likely to involve high tides, coastal erosion, sea-level rise, increase in drought and storm activity, increase in sea-surface temperature and coral bleaching, all of which are related to climate change.

Due to these challenges faced by Palau's private sector, the EU-funded PACRES Project is supporting the Palau Chamber of Commerce (PCC) to conduct a mapping of private sector activities relevant to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

This survey aims to collect baseline information that can assist PCC and the Government of Palau with strategic planning and resourcing activities related to resilient development for the private sector.

Please answer all questions. Completing the questionnaire honestly and with as much detail as possible will allow us to work together in building climate resilience. Completed questionnaires will be confidential and will not be shared beyond the project team and our trusted third-party consultant.
