Strengthening Climate Services for Samoa : 2013 - 2018

Under the GEF- funded project, ‘Integrating climate change risk in the Agriculture and Health Sectors in Samoa’ (ICCRAHS), this report was developed as requested by UNDP on behalf of MNRE, follows a two-day ‘Sector Engagement Workshop’ for MNRE and other Ministry staff. The report:

• summarises key ideas and responses from workshop participants which point to developments in climate services that are needed to fully engage users and enable improved decision making in Samoa;

• uses core themes or pillars developed independently by the GFCS consultation as a landscape against which to assess the progress of ICCRAHS so far;

• outlines and recommends priority actions, and associated draft costs, to further strengthen the outcomes from ICCRAHS and build future climate services
