Going after adaptation co-benefits: A REDD+ programme in Fiji

The document highlights Fiji's approach to integrating climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and biodiversity conservation into its REDD+ policy and planning process. It argues that while REDD+ is primarily a mitigation mechanism, it can build resilience and support climate compatible development in Pacific Island Countries (PICs), where adaptation is the highest policy priority due to vulnerability to sea-level rise and extreme weather.

• Climate change adaptation is the primary policy priority for Pacific Island Countries (PICs), which often makes the costs of preparing for international mitigation mechanisms difficult to justify for smaller nations.
