Summary Description
Presents participatory actions to
address the impact of climate

are an adaptation
of participatory techniques WWF
South Pacific has used over the
years in community resource
conservation and development
projects’ which should give
facilitators a clear sense of
process
when trying to illicit information
specific to impacts of climate
change and developing an
appropriate community response.
