The global economy continues to struggle with the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic over the last 2 years. Apart from the pandemic, the Pacific region is highly vulnerable to technological, political, and climate change-induced disruptions and natural disasters. This paper focuses on managing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and other disruptions in the Pacific, as well as preparing for unknown future disruptions. The paper begins by reviewing the impact of COVID-19 on businesses in the Pacific and the effects of climate change-induced natural disasters. It then details the needs of Pacific Island countries for preparing, managing, and overcoming disruptions and presents a training model for business schools throughout the Pacific, to help them future-proof the region. One of the key elements for improving the resilience of businesses is the development of business continuity plans (BCPs), which are discussed here in some detail.
