Solomon Islands Knowledge-Action-Sustainability for Resilient Villages (SOLSKAS) Project
Solomon Islands Knowledge-Action-Sustainability for Resilient Villages (SOLSKAS) Project
The Solomon Islands is facing increasing climate change impacts, making it the 4th most vulnerable country in the world. Impacts are felt most acutely in rural areas comprising 80% of the population. Without assistance, climate impacts threaten to lock the country into a stagnant or negative development trajectory. This project, developed by Save the Children and the Solomon Islands Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology, and executed through government agencies and civil society organisations, will systematically address barriers keeping villages from climate‐resilient development trajectories by enhancing awareness, skills, and institutions at the village level while establishing and/or strengthening the national‐provincial‐village linkages needed to fund village investments and sustain community‐led, gender and socially equitable adaptation.
