Understanding Community Perceptions about Climate Change in the Pacific - SPARCK (Sharing Perceptions of Adaptation, Resilience and Climate Knowledge) Final Report July 2014

Abstract

Pacific Island countries are at the forefront of the battle against climate change. With increased exposure and vulnerability of Pacific Islanders to weather extremes resulting from human-induced climate change, it is becoming increasingly important to understand local climate change knowledge and local perceptions on adaptation, and how these relate to resilience and to action on managing the impacts of climate change.
