Untold stories of climate change loss and damage in the LDCs: Solomon Islands
Channel: IIED
Date: 2021-03-01

In the first in a series of animations, people from the least developed countries (LDCs) share their experience of climate impacts.

From the Solomon Islands, young climate activists Gladys Habu and Solomon Yeo, whose characters and voices feature in the short clip, share how the relentless impacts of climate change are destroying their beautiful islands. 

They also demand action – calling on governments to recognise loss and damage, and to provide urgently needed financial and technological support to help the LDCs, including the Solomon Islands, face fast accelerating climate impacts.

The short film is also available in Pijin: https://youtu.be/KYwSjpk3u3g
