Pacific Climate Security Risk Assessment Guide and Atoll-Country Profiles

This Pacific Climate Security Assessment Guide aims to support countries to collectively and individually uncover, assess and respond to climate security implications for their peoples, prosperity and peace. The Assessment Guide builds off of the Weathering Risk initiative’s methodology, and was undertaken by adelphi in collaboration with the UNDP, IOM and PIF as a part of the UNPBF-funded “Climate Security in the Pacific” project.

The Island Finance Forum will:

• Bridge the gap between sustainable development practitioners and financial stakeholders.
• Help island stakeholders access expert knowledge and financial opportunities available to them.
• Showcase the economic opportunities available from investing in the sustainability sector on islands – particularly impact investing and ESG.
