    Summary:

     Samoa is an LDC and a Party to the UNFCCC, which has completed and submitted its NAPA to the UNFCCC Secretariat and to the GEF on December 2005. Samoa is therefore eligible for submitting this project, entitled "Integrated Climate Change Adaptation in Samoa (ICCAS)" for NAPA implementation under the LDCF. The Samoa's NAPA identified 9 main areas where urgent and immediate adaptation interventions need to be implemented, 4 of which are not sufficiently addressed from existing initiatives.

     

    These sectors are:

    1. Health;

    2. Agriculture and food security;

    3. Ecosystem management; and

    4. Early warning systems.

     

    The objective of the proposed NAPA follow up project is to increase the resilience and adaptive capacity of Samoa to the threat of climate change. The project will implement targeted adaptation interventions in the four thematic areas mentioned above. The proposal outlines several priority interventions but based on the outcome of the preparatory phase, including costing of the priorities, only a selection of these interventions will be implemented.

    Project Components:

    1. Health 2. Agriculture and Food Security 3. Early Warning Systems 4. Ecosystem Management
