RMIT News talked with project leader Professor Darryn McEvoy about the team’s recent site visits in Honiara, the actions they are planning and the critical importance of working across disciplines to drive real, sustainable change.

Led by RMIT University, ICLEI Oceania is a minor partner to this and its parallel project in Fiji. ICLEI Oceania is also partnering with RMIT University to deliver climate resilience training to the newly elected Honiara City councillors.
