Through the Framework for Pacific Regionalism, the Pacific Islands Forum is committed to exploring ways in which its member countries can work together for the common good of all.

The Pacific is highly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change and disaster, and Pacific Island countries are actively engaged in managing their impacts. The Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific (FRDP) is an integrated, collective approach that supports the development of a Pacific-region that is increasingly resilient to the potential damage they cause. The FRDP approaches the building of resilience on the basis that all stakeholders are necessary to work together as climate change and disaster risks affect many sectors and undermine development. Translating the FRDP into action is the Pacific Resilience Partnership which brings together a variety of stakeholder groups and communities of practice on climate change, disaster risk management and sustainable development.

The FRDP has three goals:

1.      Strengthened integrated adaptation and risk reduction to enhance resilience to climate change and disasters;

2.      Low-carbon development; and

3.      Strengthened disaster preparedness, response and recovery.

As part of the current regional policy consultations, the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat welcomes input and insight from all stakeholders that can help progress work in these three areas and inform future action through the Pacific Resilience Partnership.
