Introduction

Climate change has become one of the key issues the planet is facing today. With impacts being felt across the world, identifying ways to build long-term resilience to its impacts has become a crucial component for a sustainable and resilient planet. This chapter discusses the approaches for ensuring that synergies and interlinkages across key global and national processes are generated to ensure that inclusive and collective actions can be generated through community-centred, evidence-based, inclusive and multi-stakeholder processes. With case studies and examples from projects conducted in the Pacific region, the chapter demonstrates the importance of integrating processes and relevant mechanisms on climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, climate-induced loss and damage, and sustainable development and builds on the evidence provided through insights from the case studies to provide recommendations for holistic policy and action for enhanced impact through forward-thinking synergized actions across processes.
