Countries including the Seychelles and Maldives have developed national climate change plans that recognise linkages to food security, health and DRR, although these face significant resourcing issues when it comes to implementation . National- level plans, such as National Adaptation Plans of Action , increasingly could include local government engagement and have a stronger focus on urban centres and adaptation . Building codes act as supportive enablers for adaptation governance: Requiring more hurricane-resistant housing in the Caribbean, including incentives for informal settlements to build in a more resilient manner, can achieve multiple development and adaptation outcomes . In Dominica, a Climate Resilience Executing Agency of Dominica  established in 2019, aims to enable stronger climate resilience by bringing all sectors and services together for more effective coordination . Improvements in cross- sectoral and cross-agency coordination are creating opportunities for improved disaster preparedness and resilience measures in Vanuatu . A range of mechanisms also exist in the tourism industry: Adaptation taxes and improved building regulations could reduce risk drastically, for example, in the Caribbean region .
