Integrated Climate Change Adaptation, Samoa (ICCAS) 

SHARE THIS PAGE:


The Government of Samoa proposes an integrated approach to address climate change impacts on the agriculture and health sectors. The project focuses on the enhancement of organizational and technical capabilities in the Samoa Meteorology Division to monitor climate trends and provide regular, timely and accurate climate risk and early warning information to agricultural extension and public health services.  The project will strengthen the capabilities of Samoa’s public health workers and agricultural planners to make use of climate risk information and adopt measures that increase the resilience of communities to climate-induced food security and disease risks.
