Micronesia, Federated States of: Nation wide integrated disaster risk management and climate change policy

This is an internally generated policy based on extensive consultations within the Federated States of Micronesia designed to address the pressing needs of the country in relation to climate change and disaster risk management.

This policy will also assist in meeting regional and international treaty obligations and objectives that the Government of FSM has agreed are worth pursuing such as the Pacific Disaster Risk Reduction and Disaster Management Framework for Action 2005 - 2015 (RFA), the Pacific Islands Framework for Action on Climate Change 2006- 2015 (PIFACC), the international Hyogo Framework for Action: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters 2005 - 2015, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
