The focus of this Policy is to mitigate climate change especially at the international level, and adaptation at the national, state and community levels to reduce the FSM’s vulnerability to climate change adverse impacts. In this context, FSM reaffirms its social and cultural identity and its people’s rights and desire to continue to live sustainably on their islands.
This is an internally generated policy based on extensive consultations within the FSM designed to address the pressing needs of the country in relation to climate change and disaster risk management. It has been developed in recognition of the need to safeguard the development of FSM’s people, resources and economy, now and in the future, to the risks posed by a changing climate and the range of natural and human-made hazards to which the country is exposed, thus supersedes its 2009 Climate Change Policy.
