Proposed Project Objective: Enhanced use of data for decision making in the environment sector throughout the Pacific region. Building on the tools and momentum the Inform project established, this scaled up project will expand the user base and fill significant gaps including in situ monitoring, increased partnerships between the environment ministries and other ministries, increase use of spatial tools, and the establishment of standardise environmental standards and key indicators for key resources.

This executive summary reviews and presents FSM’s climate change and disaster risk program of FSM against seven key pillars: i) policies and plans, ii) funding sources, iii) public financial management and expenditure, iv) institutions, v) human capacity, vi) gender and social inclusion, and vii) development effectiveness, and also presents it Action Plan, which provides timeframes and suggested responsibilities and partners for support, as assigned to each recommendation.
This is the final report with recommendations of the FSM Climate Change and Disaster Risk Finance Assessment as of February 2019. It provides the seven key pillars as discussed in the executive summary, with identification of number of recommendations for the government to support its direct access to international climate finances, which are discussed in detail within the report, and the Action Plan with timeframes and responsibilities and partners for support for each recommendation.
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 report presents the findings following research and a three-week field assessment (April 2009) of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) in response to nation-wide marine inundation by extreme tides (December 2007, September 2008, and December 2008). This study was conducted at the request of the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the state and federal government of FSM
This document lists the TIMELINE of major natural disasters that have affected islands in the FSM.
