Summary:
The likelihood components of climate-related risks in the Cook Islands are evaluated, for both present-day and future conditions. Changes into the future reflect the influence of global warming. The risk events for which the current and future likelihoods are evaluated are extreme rainfall events, drought, high sea levels, strong winds, and extreme high air temperatures. Tropical cyclone frequencies over the past century are also examined. Some climate-related human health and infrastructure risks are also investigated.

Summary:
National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following summarizes the NAPA for Tuvalu.
Project Components:
1. Project Implementation and Management 2. National and community-based activities 3. Preliminary Adaptation Activities 4. Preparation and Endorsement of the NAPA
Expected Outputs:
* The endorsed NAPA document, submitted to relevant international and bilateral organizations for their consideration * Tuvaluan and English versions of the NAPA document * Widespread awareness and acceptance of the NAPA, by Government, the private sector and civil society, assisted by the efforts of key players and opinion leaders
