1.1 Project background
The project, ‘Managing Coastal Aquifer in Selected Pacific SIDS’, is supported by the Global Environment Facility and is being implemented by UNDP and executed by the Disaster and Community Resilience Programme (Geoscience Energy Maritime Division) of the Pacific Community (SPC) in the Republic of Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau, and Tuvalu. The four-year (2021–2024), USD 5.2 million project aims at improving the understanding, use, management and protection of coastal aquifers towards enhanced water security, including in the context of a changing climate. More specifically it aims at 1) identifying the extent, threats and the development potential of groundwater resources, 2) increasing awareness of groundwater as a water security supply source, 3) providing options for improved access to groundwater and 4) and improving aquifer protection and management, within Pacific Small Island Developing States.
1.2 Mission objectives and outcomes
Resource
The Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) Facility of the UN Capital Development (UNCDF) was designed to promote climate change-resilient communitoes and local economies by establishing a stardard, internationally recognized country-based mechanism to channel climate finance to local government authorities in Least Developing Countries (LCDs) including Tuvalu. Below are the LoCAL-Environmental and Social Safeguard (ESS) documents that has been published to the public, mainly affected beneficiaries.

Project
The overall goal of the Programme is to increase the resilience of populations in the CookIslands, Niue, Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and Tuvalu to climate changeand climate-related hazards, through the delivery of timely, accurate and actionable climate andocean information and early warnings to facilitate climate-resilient policy, planning,preparedness and response actions.The Programme will establish integrated climate and ocean information services and multihazardearly warning systems (MHEWS) in five Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS):Cook Islands, Niue, Palau, RMI and Tuvalu.
Event
The consultation will focus on prioritizing te technologies using a multi-criteria analysis.
Event
The GCF Secretariat has sent out a Save the Date for this regional dialogue. This is an annual event that the Fund organised to bring together NDAs, AEs, DPs, and other relevant partners to increase understanding of GCF, and at the same time focus on support for paradigm shift investments in the region. This dialogue will include a series of technical discussions and workshops targeting specific topics designed to support programming for both private and public sectors.
Event
The Chair of CANCC (RMI) has sent out a Save the Date to all members of the CANCC for the Atoll Policy Dialogue on Adaptation and the High Level Event that they are going to host. The policy dialogue will engage technical officers and experts in the area of Adaptation. The high level event will bring together Ministers for the signing of the MOU on the secretarial support for the CANCC Chair.
Event
This is the last meeting of the PACRES project as the project is coming to end this year. Penivao is the responsible officer within CCD for this project. Funding is made available by SPREP for the attendance of 1 official.
Event
This meeting was initially schedule to the Q1 but was postpone due to conflicting schedules of the SPC. This project is implemented by the CCD. This is the first in-person meeting for the Steering Committee of this project. Alamoana and Betty are project officers for this project, and Pepetua oversee the implementation of the project. Formal invitations are yet to be sent out by SPC. Only an email for the ‘save the date’ has been circulated.
Event
Development of the project concept on Climate Resilient Housing Project for submission to the GCF. International and local consultant from the Abt firm is travelling with CCD Officers to the northern islands.
Project
Institutional strengthening of Tuvalu's NDA and Preparation of Country Programme - The Tuvalu Readiness-1 project will highly support mechanisms on strengthening the NDA’s capacity and building on that capacity to deliver concise and effective measures in addressing climate finance, enhancing engagement with GCF, building on national stakeholders and private sectors, women and vulnerable groups communication whilst engaging them in decision making and voicing their opinions to build a reflective Country Programme and strategic framework.

Although climate change is cited as the most signifigant security threat to he south pacific, its likely effects on security and potential conflict are yet to be widely explored by the international an regional organisations present on the ground. Climate change in the pacific region has the potential for a myriad of cascading fragility and instability risks. These will affect men, women and youth differently, and vary across the region both according to timeframes under consideration and depending on the country context.
There are a range of critical climate fragility risks emerging in the Pacific Region that will require greater examination, monitoring and coordinated action by many stakeholders at the national, regional and international level to prevent potential irrevesible economic, social, cultural and environmental damage with a range of potential security implications and a direct impact on social cohesion. Most critical issues amongst these include:

Managing Water Scarcity through Strengthened Water Resource Management Project in Tuvalu is the second phase of the previous Strengthening Water Security in the Vulnerable Island States that aim to improve the water resource storage system to enhance resilience in communities. This regional project covers 5 Islands which are Cook Island, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Tokelau, and Tuvalu. The project's long-term goal is for communities to be less susceptible to water scarcity. This project is funded by New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and implemented by the Pacific Community (SPC).
The sole purpose of the household water survey was to collect data and information about the conditions of water storage and catchment system at the household level on all Island of Tuvalu. As the Tuvalu Water Investment Plan needs solid and up-to-date data and information on the current storage capacity on each island of Tuvalu. The survey is a preliminary step towards the achievement of the investment plan.

The Government of Tuvalu developed its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC)and submitted it to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)in 2015 and ratified the Paris Agreement on 22 April 2016. When the Paris Agreement cameinto force on 04 November 2016, Tuvalu’s INDC submitted in 2015 automatically becameTuvalu’s First NDC.
