    Summary:

    PACC Federated States of Micronesia - Adapting coastal road designs to take into consideration the impacts of climate change

    As 70% of the population and infrastructures are located by the coast their vulnerability to climate changes and sea-level rise is very high. Developing adaptive designs in coastal road systems will enhance resilience against intense rainfall and storm surges, and would also go a long way in reducing maintenance costs over time.

    The overall PACC project will implement long-term adaptation measures to increase the resilience of a number of key development sectors in the Pacific islands to the impacts of climate change. This objective will be achieved by focusing on adaptation response strategies, policies and measures to bring about this result. The key development sectors this project will focus on are:

    1.      water resources management;
    2.      food production and food security; and
    3.      coastal zone and associated infrastructure (roads and breakwater).

    To ensure sustainability of the project, regional and national adaptation financing instruments will constitute a fourth component of the project.
