#Project – new assignment
SETIN is pleased to announce the start of a new assignment to support the development of a National Loss and Damage Evidence Base for the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).
The assignment was officially launched through an initial kick-off coordination meeting involving the consulting team, the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), and representatives of the FSM Department of Environment, Climate Change and Emergency Management (DECCEM).
This work aims to strengthen the national evidence base on climate-related loss and damage, helping to inform policy development, planning processes, and decision-making at the national level. The initiative is particularly significant in the context of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), which continue to face increasing and disproportionate impacts from climate change. Strengthening the evidence base on loss and damage is therefore a relevant step towards improving national systems for climate resilience and governance, while also reinforcing the capacity of institutions to respond to evolving climate risks.
By contributing to a more structured understanding of loss and damage, the project will help consolidate the knowledge base needed to address current and future climate-related challenges.
SETIN is proud to collaborate with regional and national partners in advancing this work.
