Enhancing Climate Action in the Pacific Region
Highlighting the Pacific region's need to absorb new climate finance, this content showcases the strategic positioning and vision of the OneSPC Programme on Climate Change. It outlines the significance of SPC's investment in climate change, its contribution to climate action across various sectors, and the 7 dimensions of climate action and enabling services. Additionally, it details specific initiatives such as carbon sequestration through aquaculture, climate resilience in coastal fisheries, and capacity building for climate projects. The content emphasizes the importance of leveraging climate finance, advancing climate science, and promoting sustainable practices in the region.

Building a Building a OneSPC Programme on Climate Change Programme on Climate Change OneSPC Flagship Integrated Flagship Integrated
Why? Why? Pacific needs to absorb ~3- 4billion new CF over next 5 years Presents SPC s full value add in CC in the region. (using climate rationale) Presents the sum of SPC s investment in CC and ambition over time. (Vision, targets, costs) Contextualises and amplifies contribution of divisions/sectors to total CC effort. Enables visibility of collective impact. (Results) Positions a strategic way to leverage and harmonise climate finance. SPC has largest capability in Regional Architecture Larger portions directly to region tailored modalities Donors seeking our guidance

Climate Change lens and rationale 7 Climate Change lens and rationale 7 Dimensions Dimensions SPC s key areas of work to enhance climate action can be viewed across 7 dimensions These generally cover both direct climate action (what) and enabling activities (how). i. Climate adaptation & resilience (adapting human activity and the natural world to life in a changing climate) ii. Climate mitigation (reducing climate change) iii. Loss and Damage & Climate justice (equitable distribution of the burdens and benefits of climate change) iv. Facilitating policy, advocacy and leadership v. Leveraging climate finance vi. Developing climate science and information vii. Supporting monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) This should help to guide our final stocktake, and inform ambition that can be built into intended targets and outcomes at the organisation level. 7 Dimensions of climate action and enabling services

How can Heads of Fisheries input? How can Heads of Fisheries input? Your priorities and requests for regional support will shape our Flagship ambition over the short, medium and long term. It will help mainstream fisheries, marine and aquaculture climate change-related impacts, opportunities, and resource needs into our broader efforts to build capability and mobilise climate finance and resources. It will help us develop and mainstream Pacific specific Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Learning (MERL) on climate change at an organisation wide level. Avenue to inform development of the Implementation Plan of the 2050 Strategy Help to inform the articulation of Pacific priorities in the relevant climate change processes under the Paris Agreement.
