Project ID 2210233011

The Apia Office focuses almost exclusively on Pacific SIDS, which have prioritized climate change and disaster resilience as a cross-cutting issue affecting their progress towards achievement of all the SDGs. Many have recognized that the traditional knowledge of their local communities and indigenous peoples is a key resource for their resiliency. In keeping with the UNESCO SIDS Action Plan and the SAMOA Pathway, the overall objective of this workplan is to develop the capacity of Pacific SIDS to assess, raise awareness of and adapt to climate change through activities focusing on science, traditional knowledge and community-based action. Use of UNESCO tools under its LINKS programme as well as the Sandwatch tool for climate change monitoring will be promoted.
