Council of Delegates Meeting of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

During the Council of Delegates Meeting of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies at Geneva - Switzerland, Vanuatu Red Cross Society made an intervention on behalf of the Pacific Island States.

The statement primarily addresses the need to develop capacities at community levels in Anticipatory Action and empower communities with resources to enable them to take the right action at the right time. This is to help them to deal with the impacts of Climate Change.

It is based on the assumption that local knowledge is the key platform in which the capacity will be developed.
