"Help save lives, protect our seas and properties"

Like other Pacific Island nations, FSM is at the forefront of the climate crisis, with the effects of climate change compounding the already difficult task of providing safe drinking water to outer island communities, particularly during severe droughts.

To address this pressing issue, communities living in the outer islands of Chuuk State - Polowat, Pulusuk, and Pulap - have taken an active role in designing, installing, and maintaining water security measures. Since 2019, the European Union-funded Global Climate Change Alliance Plus - Scaling up Pacific Adaptation project has been working with national agencies and partners in FSM to enhance the water security sector in outer islands, benefiting more than 3000 people.
