An exciting and innovative new project is underway in Fiji that asks communities, teachers and media to share their thoughts on climate change. The project is also pioneering a ground-breaking mobile survey run on both Digicel (with technology provided by Mobimedia) and Vodafone networks that allows people to share their ideas and opinions on responding to climate change.
The project “SPARCK” Sharing Perceptions of Adaptation, Resilience and Climate Knowledge has already launched in Samoa and Fiji, and will run in Vanuatu in June. Understanding local opinions on the challenges of climate change is an important part of the project, and will help in identifying how people in the Pacific understand and respond to climate change. In Fiji, the project has been supported by key partners including the Ministry of Information, Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Education.
