Report to Plenary on behalf of Pacific (including Samoa, Fiji, Timor Leste, SPREP and

PIFS)

1. Why CPEIR and Benefits?

• SAMOA : Climate finance outside of aid effectiveness agenda and review where we are at. To establish a baseline on monitoring of climate financing.

• Benefit: We have a baseline. Will need a refinement in the classification and the framework. As we practice and more periodic reviews the process will evolve. Joint effort with MNRE and MoF. Built upon other countries classification systems with technical inputs from MNRE. Hard to compare across countries, when the methodology is slightly different.

• TIMOR LESTE: A new tool to support implementation of the NAPA. There is a trust fund that has the priority of the grant food security, IWRM, mangrove, ecosystem protection, infrastructure resilience. They are budgeting at the state level CC activities.

• FIJI: At this stage we are not sure if we need to undertake a CPEIR. We are currently consolidating climate change policy framework and aligning from global, regional, national to sectoral policies.

2, 3. Next Steps & Priorities• Integration at the national and sectoral levels merging with existing

integration and mainstreaming plans. • Mainstreaming at the institutional level• Provide clear and explicit linkages to the budget processes• Reflect climate risks, resilience, aspects in Ministry Corporate Plans.

verification• Support ongoing reforms of the PFM, PEFAS. • Monitoring & Evaluation• More awareness by line ministries, supported by regional agencies.• Regional technical support mechanisms• Pacific Climate Finance assessment frameworks
