Role and Project Overview:

In order to strengthen the efficacy of support for climate change action and disaster resilience in the Pacific, Australia formed the Australia Pacific Climate Partnership (the Climate Partnership) in 2018. It builds on well-established regional and international knowledge regarding efficient climate mitigation, adaptation, and broader catastrophe resilience. It also depends on long-running climate change and disaster information programs.

The Climate Partnership seeks to promote climate and disaster-resilient development throughout the Pacific through the following goals: – Australian aid investments in the region are informed by disaster risk and climate change; – Australian supported climate change information is current and persuasive; Australia is respected as a partner in the Pacific region’s fight against climate change.

When the Partnership first began, the Climate Partnership Support Unit was created, and its mandate was later expanded for the years 2022–2024. Technical experts from the Support Unit, supported by an Operations team, collaborate with DFAT aid investment program managers and their implementing partners to integrate climate change and disaster risk reduction, broker and improve access to actionable climate change and disaster knowledge in the region, and carry out program-wide monitoring, evaluation, and learning. The Support Unit is based in Australia and the Pacific.
