The Climate Resilient Islands Programme is working with rural communities in Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga and Tuvalu to strengthen community resilience to the impacts of climate change through nature-based approaches. The Programme has three interconnected outcome areas:
- Protection, restoration and maintenance of ecosystems
- Climate resilient food systems
- Strengthened preparedness to intensified natural hazards
Communities engaged in the Programme determine priorities and pathways to strengthened resilience through pathways such as:
- Intergenerational Indigenous knowledge sharing
- Payments for ecosystems services (PES) models
- Protected marine and conservation areas
- Restoration and strengthening of Indigenous resilient local food systems
- Access to small grants to strengthen or establish community livelihoods
The Climate Resilient Islands Programme is funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade and implemented by Live & Learn Environmental Education.
