Context
Context
The Marshall Islands (RMI) is losing land mass and human resources at an accelerated rate due to climate change. Future Earth carried out work on behalf of the UNDP as part of their NDC Deep Dive Project) to accelerate Structural Transformation to collectively build and strengthen the RMI drive to a low-carbon economy and build resilience to climate change impacts. In particular, to strengthen coordination and implementation of priority actions under the NDC as per the NDC Partnership Plan.
A second component was to assess the effectiveness of existing national institutional climate change coordination mechanisms to manage and respond to climate change impacts in RMI.
Approach
Approach
The research approach was knowledge-first, evidence-based and inclusive with an emphasis on co-creation and self-determination by RMI stakeholders at all key decision-making steps. Considerable work went into designing online tools and tailoring the organisational and individual capacity assessments to the RMI context, with due consideration for best practice guidance by the Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB), UNDP Adaptation Learning Network among others.
