Pacific Girls in a Changing Climate documents the lived experiences of climate change for girls, adolescents and young women aged 10 to 18 in the Pacific and their recommendations for action to protect and promote their human rights.

The girls that participated told us that climate change is reshaping their lives. It is exacerbating existing inequalities as well as creating new barriers for them as they enter adulthood.

Yet girls in the Pacific are not passive actors. They are at the forefront of activism and influencing governments to take climate action. The report captures how Pacific girl-led change can be supported, resourced and strengthened by all actors.

Pacific girls have clear strategies and recommendations for changes in law, policy and development practice that will dismantle barriers and create pathways into a future in which they can thrive.
