BACKGROUND
The Government
of Vanuatu and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
are working in partnership to provide a space for the voices of young Pacific
Islanders. Selected youth
representatives will be empowered to tell their personal climate change
experiences with a focus on solutions and express their concerns on global
stage during an official side-event in the Fiji Pavilion in the Bonn Zone at
the 23rd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP23) to the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Bonn, Germany
(6-17 November 2017).
The future of the Pacific Island
region is at stake as the effects of climate change pose a unique threat to the
livelihoods of Pacific Islanders and their inheritance. The adverse
consequences of the changing climate are already a reality for Pacific youths today
and will be for generations to come. Pacific youths
are creative in finding solutions based on their traditional and contemporary
knowledge. This side event will showcase their strengths and needs.
