Pacific Disaster Risk Reduction and Disaster
Management Framework for Action 2005-2015
• Supports an ‘all hazards’ and integrated
approach to the mainstreaming of disaster risk
reduction and disaster management
• Advocates DRM as a sustainable development
issue, requiring a whole of country approach
and partnership at all levels of decision-making
• Six Themes with suggested Regional and
National activities

Pacific Islands Framework for Action on Climate Change
2006-2015
• raises awareness of Pacific climate change issues
• guides design and implementation of national and
regional climate change measures
• guides development of national and regional
sustainable development strategies, sector policies,
climate change-specific policies
• framework to enable measurement of progress of
climate change action in the region
