PUBLISHED:
Apia, Samoa : International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region 2013.
DESCRIPTION:
20 p. : col. ill. ; 22 cm.
NOTES:
Pacific islanders have been dealing with a changing environment for centuries. Adaptation to change is part of the lifestyles of the Pacific community, and traditional knowledge, values, and practices—or intangible cultural heritage (ICH)—underpins the ability of the Pacific community to successfully live and thrive in the Pacific environment.
NOTES:
In synergy with other scientific knowledge, ICH may enhance the communities ´resilience against natural disasters and climate change. Consideration for culture should be integrated into reducing disaster risk and adapting climate change policies, plans, and action.
