Adapt to Survive

Even if we do achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, island life will never be the same again. What are the ways the SIDS will have to adapt and build resilience for this future and who is leading the way?This episode will discuss the critical SIDS sectors that most require adaptation interventions and how it may be financed. It will further discuss not only the new technologies that we must incorporate, but also the bringing back of indigenous, more sustainable practices, and how they might be valuable for a modern world.
