Abstract

This report presents findings from consultations with
communities to inform the Marshall Islands National
Adaptation Plan. Multiple methods were used in 123
days of site visits across 15 atolls and islands to hear
from 1362 people (3% of the national population).
The consultations clearly show that people in the
Marshall Islands strongly aspire to continue living in
their homelands, which is sustained by their access
to place-based natural resources. These factors
are key to their sense of place and security.
