Beyond barriers: climate change case study in Papua New Guinea
This case study explores Papua New Guinea's (PNG) progress in the integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). It identifies key themes and opportunities for stakeholders to advance approaches that reduce risk and enhance resilience in communities in PNG.
Papua New Guinea currently maintains separate governance and institutional arrangements for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change. Most stakeholders agree that DRR and CCA activities largely continue to operate in silos. This is particularly reflected in financing and coordination mechanisms, creating multi-layered challenges for integrated approaches at the community level.
