This Plan consolidates and prioritises public infrastructure projects across sectors, evaluating their alignment with national strategic objectives, economic viability, and climate change adaptation. It covers covers infrastructure projects equal to or larger than $500,000 in value. This Plan covers the overall context in the Marshall Islands; the multi-criteria analysis and screening process for infrastructure projects; findings; funding assessment; and a roadmap for implementation. It consolidates the status of relevant projects.
Two out of 12 impact criteria in the multi-criteria analyse relate to environment and climate-change resilience priorities (namely, improve climate change adaptation and resilience, and strengthen disaster risk management and resilience).

This Framework uses community-based tools and approaches to establish and manage protected/conservation areas. It provides for the establishment and management of protected/conservation areas, including ecosystem-based adaptation methods such as conserving reefs, coasts and terrestrial ecosystems that buffer atolls against sea-level rise and climate impacts.
A Local Resource Committee (LRC) is first established by the municipal government to oversee the development of the resource management plan in that atoll. The LRC consists of representatives from the local government, traditional leadership, church leadership, men and women’s groups, youth, elderly and persons with disabilities. The plan is then developed with the community. The Coastal Management Advisory Council (CMAC) provides counsel, reviews project proposals and carries out relevant activities based on the Reimaanlok process.

This policy document covers eight thematic areas: climate change; good governance; economic growth and resilience; private sector development; social development; nuclear justice; infrastructure development; and partnership for financing and development. Priority areas and actions are identified under these themes with the aim of providing a resilient and prosperous future for the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Under climate change, the priority areas are to improve access to climate finance; and adaptation and resilience. Actions include exploring the possibility of accessing global climate finance credit facilities; implementing the National Adaptation Plan; addressing customary land tenure and individual rights to accommodate the protection of some land and the vacating of unprotected land; and addressing early-stage planning to identify protection needs for key islands (or parts of atolls) to provide for safe relocation of populations as reflected in the Marshall Islands' Sea Level Rise Policy.
