“Documoments”

Introducing Pacific RISA’s “Documoments” – Stories of climate impacts on Pacific Islands

About this Project

From drought impacts on ranching to sea-level rise impacts on tourism, we convey climate stories using brief video clips called “documoments.” These stories describe the experiences of people from diverse walks of life. The documoments are a starting point for helping policy makers to understand real-world climate impacts and the need for usable climate information.

Climate Matters for Ridge to Reef Ecosystems – By Tova Callender (West Maui Ridge-to-Reef) and Chris Brosius (Mauna Kahalawai Watershed Partnership)




Production support provided by the East-West Center and the Pacific RISA, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Program Office.
