Joint National Action Plan for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change

Niue's Joint National Action Plan for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change (JNAP) is an extensive document developed in partnership with Pacific regional organisations. JNAP provides a three year action plan to address existing gaps relating to vulnerability to climate change impacts and disasters. It is designed around five priority actions: 1) Strong and effective institutional basis for disaster risk reduction / climate change adaptation, 2) Strong public awareness and improved understanding of the causes and effects of climate change, climate variability and disaster, 3) Strengthened livelihoods, community resilience, natural resources and assets, 4) Strengthened capacity to adapt renewable energy technologies and improve energy efficiency, and 5) strengthened disaster preparedness for effective response.
