Solomon Islands resources
.
Young people are often disproportionately affected by climate change and natural disasters. This may be due to limited resources (reducing ‘adaptive capacity') or not having a say when community decisions are made. This page contains resources for students which is either made in Solomon Islands, or is directly relevant to Solomon Islands. The aim of this page is to inform and empower young people in regards to climate change.
