Climate Change Resilience
4 July 2013, Nadi, Fiji - Disseminating scientific information on important issues, especially in the area of climate change is a major challenge for climate change practitioners.
To overcome this a group of climate scientists, humanitarians, technical experts, artists and actors have teamed up together to formulate and develop a video to spread information and awareness on Climate Change.
The 4 minute film titled, Pacific Adventures of Climate Crab deals with disaster preparedness and climate science.
Disaster management coordinator with the Red Cross Regional Office in Fiji, Ysabeau Rycx said there is a lot of good information on climate change, but, reiterated that most of these information are scientific and people do not really understand the issues.
Brad Murphy from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology also acknowledged that developing the final product was not easy as they had to make sure that the information disseminated is scientifically accurate.
The "Pacific Adventures of the climate crab" premiered this week at the Novotel Hotel in Fiji, during the 2nd Pacific Meteorological Council.
The Meteorology and Climatology Advisor with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, SPREP, Neville Koop congratulated the team for coming up with a vital information tool for the Pacific island communities.
The Pacific Adventures of the Climate Crab is the result of collaboration between Red Cross and the Australian Government's Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning (PACCSAP) Program.
