I. Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) Four components: three country-specific activities

in Papua New Guinea (PNG, $25M), Samoa (SAM,$15M) and Tonga (TON, $15M), and a $10M

regional component for all 14 Pacific DMCs. Activities aim to: (i) pilot approaches for

mainstreaming climate risk and resilience;(ii) strengthen national capacities to build climateresilience; and (iii) scale up climate-resilienceinvestment .

Future Opportunities and Way Forward

ADB (in coordination with other developmentpartners) will provide support: TA, grants, loans,

and climate change funds

Enhance development partners effectiveness byconcerted efforts (funding and actions)

PARD will continue to support ANR-relatedactivities in its operations, including

infrastructure, environment, finance sectordevelopment, governance, and capacity

development

Future Opportunities and Way Forward

Greater emphasis on adaptation

Increased assistance for mitigation

Assistance to capture the synergies between

adaptation and mitigation, and between disasterrisk reduction and climate change adaptation

Future assistance do not exacerbate climate-related risks

Need to address disaster risk reduction andmanagement in a holistic manner
