Live and Learn yesterday presented its findings during a side event of the 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting, highlighting community-led solutions to build climate resilience across the region.
The session, titled “Building Climate Resilient Islands: Community Voices and Partnership for a Blue Pacific Future”, showcased the achievements of the Live and Learn Climate Resilient Islands Program.
It emphasized the importance of amplifying the voices of Pacific Islanders, particularly women, youth, and traditional leaders, in shaping climate resilience and decision-making.
Speaking at the event, Live and Learn representative, Elmah Panisi stressed the need to promote cross-sectoral partnerships involving governments, civil society, donors, and the private sector to support the Blue Pacific Strategy.
She added that the session also aims to facilitate interactive dialogue and knowledge exchange on scaling up resilience efforts across the Pacific.
Supported by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Live and Learn Climate Resilient Islands Program works closely with communities across the Pacific.
The program focuses on developing locally led, nature-based solutions to strengthen climate resilience while safeguarding traditional knowledge, food security, water systems, and local ecosystems.
The side event provided an important platform to amplify Pacific voices, highlight innovative community action, and foster partnerships to accelerate the Blue Pacific Strategy.
