Enhancing Resilience of Communities in Solomon Islands to the Adverse Effects of Climate Change in Agriculture and Food Security

Objective: The project implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is working to strengthen ability of communities in the Solomon Islands to make informed decisions and manage likely climate change driven pressures on food production and management systems. First, the project plans to promote and pilot community adaptation activities that enhance food security and livelihood resilience in pilot communities on the windward and leeward sides of the main islands and on the artificial islands of Langalanga and Lau lagoons on the leeward side of Malaita Province. The project also aims to adjust national and sub-national policies related to governing agriculture to take adaptation into consideration and to foster the generation and diffusion of knowledge on adapting to climate change in a systematic manner at the community and regional levels.
