The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been developed to support the design of the proposed Green Climate Fund (GCF) programme: LoCAL: Supporting Resilient Island Communities in Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands, Fiji and Vanuatu through the Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) Mechanism.

The LoCAL Pacific facility is an Enhancing Direct Access (EDA) programme that will strengthen the climate resilience of local communities and economies by improving the capacity of communities and local governments to access and use financing for adaptation investments.

The primary objective of the ESMP is to provide an overview of the country context for environmental and social risk assessment for each target country, detail the specific environmental and social risks associated with the proposed LoCAL programme, summarize the key risks for sub-grant activities, and provide a mitigation plan for those risks including the parties responsible, the cost, and the expected results.
