A priority-setting workshop for the Pacific subregion will be jointly organized by the Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN), GAN’s regional node in the Asia-Pacific, UNEP Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific and SPREP (NWP partner)- a subregional coordination entity for the Pacific and the UNFCCC secretariat.

The overall objective of the workshop is to prioritize knowledge gaps for target knowledge users in the Pacific subregion with Reference Group (The members of the group are “core” experts for the prioritisation exercise) using a LAKI methodology.

The objectives of the four-day workshop are:

• Refine and prioritise adaptation knowledge gaps for specific knowledge users in Pacific subregion
• Develop preliminary actions and identify relevant institutions to close the priority knowledge gaps

A scoping paper is currently being prepared that identifies knowledge gaps for specific knowledge users for the Pacific subregion based on technical inputs from Reference Group members. The scoping paper will serve as an input to the prioritisation exercise.
