💥 What’s the Big Deal: 

Climate change is an existential threat for many Pacific islanders, who face rising sea levels, saltwater intrusion, coral bleaching, coastal erosion, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity. 🌏These impacts not only affect their livelihoods, health, and food security, but also their identity, culture, and sovereignty. 🌿However, Pacific islanders are not passive victims of climate change, but active agents of change. They are adapting to the changing environment by using traditional knowledge, local resources, and community networks, as well as embracing new technologies, partnerships, and policies.🕊 They are also advocating for more ambitious and urgent climate action from the international community, and sharing their stories and experiences with the world.
