Pacific Risk Tool for Resilience, Phase 2 (PARTneR-2)

PARTneR-2 will work across six Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to build capability to make risk-informed and effective development decisions. It will advance a shared understanding of the different needs for climate risk information and will co-develop national risk models and assessment tools with PICs.

The project involves collaborating with central government agencies to identify their risk-information needs and priorities, and developing the required skills and capacity within technical line ministries to deliver actionable information to meet these needs.

The PARTneR–2 project is funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). It is jointly delivered by the Pacific Community (SPC) and the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), in collaboration with the partner countries.

PARTneR–2 will work closely with other partners and programs in the Pacific region to ensure efforts to inform risk-based decision-making are well aligned. It will support PICs to deliver on the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific (FRDP), the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
