Informing climate-resilient development: the application of cost–benefit analysis (CBA) in the Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) programme - Part I: Experiences and lessons learned on capacity building

As part of the Global Environment Fund (GEF)-funded Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) programme, a cost–benefit analysis (CBA) work programme was undertaken during 2011 and 2012. The purpose of this work programme was to help improve selection and design of PACC pilot projects, as well as to build Pacific island country (PIC) capacity in the use of CBA. The PACC CBA work programme was the first (substantive) capacitybuilding programme of its kind known to have been delivered to PIC governments.
