Pacific adaptation knowledge base
The Pacific Adaptation Strategy Assistance Program supported several regional and country-based assessments of climate change impacts and potential adaptation measures. These assessments covered a range of sectors: adaptive capacity and governance, coastal management, food security, health, infrastructure and water security.
