Kiribati

In its analysis of vulnerable sectors of society, it notes:

• The effects of climate change are felt first and most acutely by vulnerable and marginalised populations, including (inter alia) women. Violence against women and children is a widespread issue within Kiribati society, which can be exacerbated in times of disasters when normal social protection may be missing.
• All strategies and actions in the Kiribati Joint Implementation Plan on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management are inclusive of vulnerable groups, considering gender, youth and children, the elderly and people with disability.
