The Government of New Caledonia is exploring ways that standards and conformance can help address the challenges of poor building resilience in the face of natural disasters.

They have developed three videos that describe the challenges faced in more detail:

• Insurance reform
• Approval of building materials
• Qualification of builders

New Caledonia is looking to approach these challenges in a cooperative manner and welcomes potential partners to get in touch with the Department of Procurement, Wealth and Resources to discuss their project in more detail.
