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.

This plan provides both an overview of the current risk and vulnerability context in Yap State, as well as the strengths that Yap has, including its strong traditional culture and rich natural resources. It then further provides its developed actions across the 7 Priority Areas, which represent the main elements of their livelihoods they wished to sustain and strengthen in the years to come.
This plan provides Kosrae’s current risk and vulnerability context, including it rich natural resources, and the specific actions identified for its six key sectors, which places Kosrae in good stead for a future that protects its people’s livelihood and environment. With specific actions identified for the 6 Priority Areas, and with pre-identified leading and supporting agencies, this JSAP supplements Kosrae’s Strategic Development Plan (SDP), and is a step towards risk-proofing its future.
The Utwe - Walung Conservation Area (UWCA) was evaluated for potential community based economic and sustainable aquacultme enterprises. Evaluations outside the Utwe - Walung Marine Conservation Area (UWMCA) were not included.
This plan provides both an overview of the current risk and vulnerability context in Pohnpei State, as well as the state’s strengths, including its strong traditional culture and rich natural resources. It then further provides its developed actions across the 8 Priority Areas, which represent the main elements of their livelihoods they wished to sustain and strengthen in the years to come.
This plan provides both an overview of the current risk and vulnerability context in Chuuk State, as well as the state’s strengths, including its strong traditional culture and rich natural resources. It then further provides its developed actions across the 6 Priority Areas, which represent the main elements of their livelihoods they wished to sustain and strengthen in the years to come.
This policy provides the basis for action by both public and private sectors to invigorate sustainable agriculture growth in the FSM, and signals desired sector priority development outcomes and strategies to achieve these. It also recognises the major role played by traditional farming systems and the impact of socio-cultural realities.
