Adapting to climate change in remote Roviana - Building resilience


Report describing how coastal erosion and rising sea levels are effecting the community of Roviana, Solomon Islands, and the community-based adaptation options that have been created to protect homes and resources.

This 4-page project overview is intended for decision-makers in Solomon Islands with an interest in climate change, community-based adaptation and protecting local land and marine resources.

The Australian Government's Pacific Adaptation Strategy Assistance Program (PASAP) assisted 15 partner countries to assess their vulnerability to climate change and incorporate adaptive measures into planning and development.
