Climate Change Adaptation Initiative The Climate Change Adaptation initiative covers activities relating to building the capacity of the Papua New Guinea Government and communities to better integrate Climate Change Adaptation into their plans and mitigate the climate Change induced risks. Expected outcomes from this initiative are: strengthened adaptive capacity of PNG communities that are vulnerable to the impact of Climate Change through developing appropriate tools and technologies, disseminating information so that communities can prepare and adapt to climate related risks and hazards such as drought, high and continuous rainfall and rise in sea level;  and strengthened capacities of the PNG national and sub-national government to better understand the science and impact of Climate Change and develop appropriate policies and program of intervention to support vulnerable communities in PNG. The total value of this initiative is $4.6 million over 3 years, starting 2010-11.
