Risk Management and Community Resilience: An SDG Agenfa for the Pacific is a new advocacy initiative which aims to draw attention to the importance of Pacific networks and knowledge management in order to capitalize on the global development discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals, the conclusion of the Millennium Development Goals, and general development effectiveness initiatives. A primary concern for the Pacific in the run up to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) beginning in 2016 is that the Pacific is by and large excluded from global discussions and analysis because its priorities and concerns are very often amalgamated through Asia-Pacific regional representation, or through Least Developed Country (LDC) representation. In both cases, Pacific concerns and priorities are marginalized due to its proportionately nominal population size, despite the fact that its concerns and priorities related to facing global risks and building community resilience are disproportionate and are at a critical stage. Well be posting links to interesting articles and analyses on risks and resilience in the Pacific, with a focus on climate change, poverty reduction and urbanization. We will also work to advocate for the Pacific to be categorized as a stand-alone region in on-going development discussions, data collection and analysis, global partnership and aid effectiveness agendas. We look forward to your contributions and support!
