A presentation on how climate change and disaster risks data, information, and considerations are integrated into public investment planning, through the revision of public investment frameworks, as experienced by Fiji.

This provides key concepts and principles for integrating climate and disaster risk management in public sector investment decision-making. This also shares key principles on how to integrate adaptation plans, risk, and resilience into public investment management through an ecosystem approach in economic planning, fiscal management, and monetary policy.

It also discusses some factors that are critical to consider and include in risk assessments, such as uncertainties, system-level dependencies, and the dynamic nature of risks, and how these interplay in investment decision-making.
