    In 2015, the working group published the Region-wide Early Action Plan (REAP) for CCA in the CT Region and the Local Early Action Plan (LEAP) for CCA. These documents were developed through a series of call meetings, REXs, workshops and formal meetings with CCA country focal points together with development partners and other stakeholders. Some countries with the assistance of NGOs and partners are using the REAP and the LEAP in conducting various CCA-related activities at the local level.

  • Developed the Vulnerability Assessment Tools for Coastal Ecosystems
  • Developed the Climate Change Adaptation for Coral Triangle Communities: A guide for Vulnerability Assessment and Local Early Action Planning
