The Pacific has made significant progress advancing an integrated agenda on DRR & CCA at many levels – from the regional level with the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific (FRDP), the national level through integrated policies and implementation mechanisms to the community level. 

This engaging panel session will draw upon the legacy of learnings from the region and importantly focus on what the future may look like across various levels. The session also seeks to provide insights to other regions that can learn from the progress in the Pacific to advance integration in their regions. In doing so, we will also draw on lessons from East Africa and how they built upon the Pacific progress to advance integration in their region. We want to profile what works in practice to empower others, drawing upon a strong base of lessons and evidence.
