Great discussions today on the #FRDP - it's importance, understanding the principles that underpin its implementation, the motivation behind the development and how this will be effectively achieved in the coming years. @ForumSEC @UNDP_Pacific

The #FRDP creates a policy space for resilient development. But it will require a development first approach and a change in mindset @ForumSEC @dfat @UNDPClimate @UNDP_Pacific

Good reasons to prepare for #disasters - they are costly and the private sector covers most of the cost, explains @ForumSEC at #COP23

“It is important to situate climate change into development itself. The @PRRP_RiskGov programme builds on the strengths that we have not what we don’t have” says PS Mataki of #SolomonIslands @UNDPClimate @dfat

@UNDPClimate @pradeepk333 @PIPSOpacific @FBDRC @dfat @ecobusinesscom @carlvmercer @louis_da_costa_ @IICPSD @mjiwanji Private Sector engagement is key to building resilience to climate change! @UN_Pasifika @FijiGov_RMDNDM @OCHAAsiaPac @unisdr_pacific @COP23

Collective action gives the private sector a voice and a seat at the table to work with the government, Fiji is a good example of that #COP23 @FBDRC

Business continuity plans and #insurance are very important for resilience of businesses. Often small businesses lack these putting great numbers of jobs at risk @PatrickSuckling #COP23 @dfat

Micro-, small- and medium-sized companies provide 60-70% of all jobs globally, they are also very important in the Pacific. #Business are part of the #community and building resilience #COP23 @PIPSOpacific

Great discussion today about private sector role in climate and disaster resilience at #COP23 - thanks @dfat @PatrickSuckling @FBDRC @PIPSOpacific @ForumSEC @UNDPClimate and all participants!
