Summary
Tuvalu is implementing its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process, centered on the Tuvalu Integrated Vulnerability Assessment (TIVA) database to manage community-level vulnerability data. The process aims to protect the nation's cultural identity and status by addressing climate threats to food and water security, health, and infrastructure across its nine islands.
Key insights
- Tuvalu is utilizing the Tuvalu Integrated Vulnerability Assessment (TIVA) Database as a community-level knowledge management and data collection system to identify adaptation priorities at sectoral, national, and subnational levels.
- The country identifies several critical climate change impacts, including sea-level rise, erosion, ocean acidification, the loss of freshwater, the salinization of groundwater, and the intensification of storm events.
- Tuvalu's NAP process follows a timeline starting in 2014, with the 2016-2020 National Strategy for Sustainable Development (Te Kakeenga III) establishing the protection of the country from climate impacts as its primary goal.
