How Integrated Vulnerability Assessments Support NAP Processes in the Pacific Region

The document discusses the use of the integrated vulnerability assessment (IVA) framework to incorporate community-level vulnerability data into the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes of three Pacific island states: Kiribati, Tuvalu, and the Solomon Islands. Developed in 2016 by Pacific organizations, the IVA Framework aims to provide a standardized and coordinated approach to assessing climate vulnerability in the region.

• The integrated vulnerability assessment (IVA) framework was created in 2016 by organizations in the Pacific to address the need for a coordinated, integrated, and standardized method for assessing climate vulnerability across the region.
• Certain Pacific island countries utilize IVAs specifically to ensure that vulnerability information from the community level is captured and integrated into their National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes.
