We traveled to Honolulu, Hawaii to cover the &lt;a href= "https://historyabovewater.org/2024-pacific/"&gt;Keeping History Above Water&lt;/a&gt; workshop and the &lt;a href= "https://www.ihs-i.com/picard"&gt;PICARD&lt;/a&gt;, Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Research and Development conference. These two events were combined and sponsored by the Department of Defense.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; The podcast covers how cultural resources are at threat from climate change and the unique challenges Pacific Islanders have in adapting to these threats. You’ll also hear about some exciting adaptation technology to help islanders adapt to climate change. The three day event was a fantastic mix of indigenous people, adaptation experts and government representatives all converging to share their stories and approaches to adaptation. A special emphasis was placed on the Marshallese islands and you’ll hear from a state senator from those islands who shares what’s at stake for the Marshallese. This episode will get you to rethink what you know about cultural resources and you’ll learn about the innovative ways Pacific islands are adapting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-right: -.25in;

Safeguarding Pacific Island Heritage: Adapting to Climate Change with the U.S. Department of Defense

SEP 23, 2024116 MIN

Description

In episode 214 of America Adapts, we partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense to show their work in adapting cultural resources in the Pacific islands. We traveled to Honolulu, Hawaii to cover the Keeping History Above Water workshop and the PICARD, Pacific Islands Climate Adaptation Research and Development conference. These two events were combined and sponsored by the Department of Defense.  The podcast covers how cultural resources are at threat from climate change and the unique challenges Pacific Islanders have in adapting to these threats. You’ll also hear about some exciting adaptation technology to help islanders adapt to climate change. The three day event was a fantastic mix of indigenous people, adaptation experts and government representatives all converging to share their stories and approaches to adaptation. A special emphasis was placed on the Marshallese islands and you’ll hear from a state senator from those islands who shares what’s at stake for the Marshallese. This episode will get you to rethink what you know about cultural resources and you’ll learn about the innovative ways Pacific islands are adapting.
