Mainstreaming of climate risk considerations and resilience across all policies, public and private investment and financing strategies has emerged as a core recommendation of the two day Climate Action Pacific Partnership meeting at the Grand Pacific Hotel.
This was highlighted by the Deputy Head of Delegation of the European Union Corrado Pampaloni.
Pampaloni says under the partnership the EU supports initiatives on disaster risk insurance in several Pacific countries in order to unleash the potential insurance in dealing with extreme weather events.
He says the European Union is encouraged by the strong commitment of initiative and coalitions to the action agenda in the Pacific region.
Pampaloni also thanked the Fijian COP Presidency for pushing the action agenda further.
The Minister for Agriculture and Climate Champion Inia Seruiratu says they look forward to the journey and support from the European Union as they embark on the climate action program.
