The Pacific Islands region is experiencing climate change. Key indicators of the changing
climate include rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rising air and sea temperatures,
rising sea levels and upper-ocean heat content, changing ocean chemistry and increasing
ocean acidity, changing rainfall patterns, decreasing base flow in streams, changing
wind and wave patterns, changing extremes, and changing habitats and species distributions.
Currently, the most vulnerable areas include low islands (atoll islands and other
Drft report on likely impacts of climate change on the greater port vila area ,and strategies of urban planning to offset these impacts.
Games for Youth
Experience has shown the effectiveness of transmitting information about climate change risks through games and exercises based on participation, role-playing, decision making and other forms of artistic expression. This type of learning, involves sensations, feelings, new behaviours and response to various stimulus through simulated actions.
Below are a few games that are used by other National Societies to work with children and youth on climate change. Read the objective to find out which games might be most suitable for your group.
Cartoon illustrating how we should get rid of our rubbish in such a way that won't have environmental impacts.
Around the world, weather patterns are shifting
and farmers are scrambling to adjust as the
leading edge of climate change is arriving.
In quite a few places, growing seasons have
expanded, in others they have contracted. Sea
levels are rising and water tables are shrinking.
For agriculture, climate change is no longer
conjecture but a fact of daily life.
