AWP supports the Australian Government’s longstanding commitments to the region on economic recovery, health, and social stability outlined in DFAT’s Partnerships for Recovery policy. Even though barriers to climate change adaptation in the Pacific have been well documented, Australia’s long trajectory in securing safe water, DFAT’s Climate Change Action Strategy and AWP’s development should represent a powerful combination in assisting the region to manage climate change risks.
