The purpose of this side event is to take stock of progress in developing the implementation plan and to seize opportunities for scaled-up action and support at the national level through enhanced technical assistance, financing, capacity building and data support. The side event will share Pacific perspectives and lived experiences to emphasize the urgency of accelerated action and commitment to averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage, including displacement and managing migration within climate action. Specifically, the side event will illustrate opportunities for national implementation in the contexts of ambitious regional and national climate action, risk reduction and resilience plans, including the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.
