In Solomon Islands, the Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) project focused on food security, with a goal
‘to contribute to reduced vulnerability and increased adaptive capacity to adverse effects of climate change in
Solomon Islands’. The pilot sites for the demonstration projects were the low lying atolls of Ontong Java and, in a
second phase, Sikaiana. These atolls are extremely isolated and are highly vulnerable in many respects. Climaterelated
threats mainly come from sea level rise and extreme weather events, and impacts on food security include
