Hazards covered by anticipation

Palau, an archipelago of low-lying islands in the Western Pacific, is vulnerable to climate-related processes such as sea level rise. The majority of its population and infrastructure are located on the coast, meaning people are also exposed to storm surges. It is also seeing an increased risk of drought and storm activity.

Anticipatory action offers a way to help people in Palau to cope with forecastable hazards, with work beginning in 2025 to develop a national-level framework for this approach.
