Grant Overview

The Marshall Islands faces significant capacity gaps in addressing climate change, with 70% of its population living on outer islands lacking basic infrastructure. The atoll nation's unique geography, with 29 coral atolls and 5 islands, creates logistical challenges for program implementation. In the Marshall Islands, organizations must navigate limited internet connectivity, with only 10% of the population having access to broadband, and a shortage of skilled workers in environmental conservation. Who is impacted? Local youth, who are disproportionately affected by climate change, with rising sea levels threatening their homes and livelihoods. The lack of climate resilience education in schools exacerbates this issue. How will funding address it? The grant will support climate resilience education programs that teach youth about environmental sustainability, empowering them to develop innovative solutions. Unlike neighboring island nations, the Marshall Islands requires demonstration of extreme adaptability due to its unique atoll geography. The funding prioritizes initiatives that incorporate traditional Marshallese knowledge with modern climate science. ## Capacity Building in the Marshall Islands ## Infrastructure Constraints in Outer Islands ## Climate Resilience Education for Marshallese Youth The Marshall Islands' economic infrastructure is largely centered around government services and subsistence fishing, with limited private sector development. The population density varies greatly between Majuro and outer islands, with 50% of the population residing in Majuro. The grant will focus on building capacity in outer islands, where provider shortages are most acute.
