The Joint National Action Plan for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation (JNAP) provides a roadmap to guide the Cook Islands in implementing Priority 5 (Resilience) of the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) 2011 -2015. Two key objectives from JNAP are climate change disaster preparedness and reduced impact from climate change disasters. The JNAP includes a cost for the Implementation Programme, which offers a number of guiding principles, attaches a cost to the plan, puts in place an appropriate management structure, identifies potential financing options, and provides guidelines for a communication strategy and monitoring and evaluation procedures.
