Micronesia, Federated States of: Pohnpei joint state action plan for disaster risk management and climate change

Pohnpei’s Joint State Action Plan for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change (JSAP) was developed in May 2015, led by the Pohnpei Department of Public Safety, and supported by the FSM Office of Environment and Emergency Management (OEEM) and the Pacific Community (SPC) Geoscience Division. 

This document provides both an overview of the current risk and vulnerability context in Pohnpei, as well as the state’s strengths, including its strong traditional culture and rich natural resources. By drawing on such as assessment of strengths and weaknesses, Pohnpeian stakeholders developed actions across 8 Priority Areas, representing the main elements of their livelihoods they wished to sustain and strengthen in years to come.
