Engaging with women peacebuilders in the Pacific to address climate change can transform regional responses, making them more inclusive and focused on human security, Sharon Bhagwan Rolls writes.

It is a region where these risks mean the loss of livelihoods, threats to cultural identity, and harm to the dignity of communities.
