The UN Local2030 Islands Hub: Determining Metrics of Climate Adaptation Goals in the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands
Jurisdictional-scale Pacific Island decision-makers and governments lack the time and capacity to interpret complex climate assessment reports and are collaborating as a region on developing a transferrable and stakeholder-based framework to identify locally and culturally appropriate goals, metrics, and indicators that track a given island’s progress towards various climate adaptation goals. By increasing the capacity of island jurisdictions to quantify their adaptation progress, governments and sectors will be able to focus on areas that need more attention and highlight success stories, enabling data-based decision making and justification of international funding. The Local2030 Islands Network brings together a diverse set of developed and developing island economies—nations, states, and communities—from all regions of the world. The Network promotes island solutions and leadership based on shared experiences and island culture and aims to create a community of practice around localized tracking and implementation of both sustainable development goals (SDGs) and climate metrics.
