#LivingHeritage is not only about the past; it holds the key to climate resilience. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) draw on these traditions to face growing risks and build sustainable futures. On the frontlines of climate disruption, communities across Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu, Belize and the Bahamas are drawing on traditional knowledge to manage growing risks and adapt to a changing environment. Together with the Government of Japan, UNESCO works with communities to safeguard and transmit these practices, which play a key role in strengthening food security, sustaining livelihoods and building cyclone-resilient shelters. 👉 Swipe to discover how these initiatives are making a difference. On the International Day for SIDS, we recognise the role of intangible cultural heritage in supporting well-being, recovery and sustainable development. unescopacific #SIDSday
