Pacific Island communities have thrived for over 3,000 years in some of the world’s most isolated environments. Today, they are shaping the future of climate adaptation. Listen now to find out how.
Small island nations are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, but they are also at the forefront of climate solutions. Despite contributing just 0.03% of global carbon emissions, these nations are among the most vulnerable to climate change. With rising seas and extreme weather, they now face existential threats.
In this episode, Dr. Michelle Dickinson speaks to Matt Blacka, National Program Manager, Climate and Ocean Services at the Office of the Prime Minister, Cook Islands Government and Karen Barns, Arup’s Resilience and Risk expert, to explore how Pacific Island nations are adapting to climate change with pioneering coastal resilience approaches.
Together, we will uncover how these nations are reshaping the future of climate adaptation and how global collaboration can strengthen these efforts. We’ll also explore success stories, nature-based solutions and the vital role of traditional knowledge in adapting to climate uncertainty.
