On the Front Foot: Envisioning a Model for Anticipatory Action in the Pacific

This paper explores good-practice approaches to implementing anticipatory action in the Pacific. Section 1 identifies existing elements across the Pacific upon which anticipatory action systems can build, as well as the key barriers to their implementation. Section 2 explores the evidence base on anticipatory action, identifying the strengths, opportunities and lessons learnt from anticipatory action systems worldwide that may inform suitable approaches for the Pacific. Section 3 presents a pathway for collective work towards establishing anticipatory action systems in the Pacific, followed by recommendations for key stakeholders, including Pacific governments, regional bodies and donors.
