Overview

Tuvalu is an extremely small, isolated atoll island nation, consisting of widely scattered, low-lying islands. The islands of Tuvalu rarely exceed 3 metres above mean sea level. At its widest point, Tuvalu only spans about 200 meters. With its limited resource base, Tuvalu is extremely vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change, variability and extreme weather events. Some of Tuvalu’s adaptation projects include: the development of a disaster plan, the plant-a-tree programme, community water tank projects and seawall construction.

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.
