Solomon Islands Climate Action Network-SICAN

29/04/2026

In the Solomon Islands, this work is about supporting communities to come together and find ways to face challenges and improve their wellbeing.

Nerish is the Project Manager for the Kōtui Programme in the Solomon Islands.

She works alongside partners such as WARA (West Are'Are Rokotanikeni Association) and SICAN ( Solomon Island Climate Action Network) to support how programmes are shaped and carried out in ways that reflect what communities are going through and what they need most.

“To me, Kotui is the ongoing work of keeping things linked. So people, knowledge and experiences become stronger or more complete when they are joined in a way that holds each part rather than erasing it.” - Nerish Aunga

In the Solomon Islands, this work helps ensure that what communities know and experience is reflected in how activities are carried out.

It also creates space for women and marginalized groups to speak up and be part of the decisions that affect their lives.

This is what Kōtui looks like in the Solomon Islands.

SICAN would like to extend our sincere thanks to PICAN and VCAN for successfully hosting the Annual Strategic Meeting (ASM) and Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Port Vila, Vanuatu 🇻🇺.

The theme “Kanu Blong Yumi Long Solwota: Our Ocean Canoe, Charting a Climate-Resilient Course” truly reflects the spirit of unity and shared purpose across our Pacific region. It was inspiring to see members from Kiribati 🇰🇮, Tuvalu 🇹🇻, Solomon Islands 🇸🇧, and Vanuatu 🇻🇺 come together to strengthen collaboration, reflect on progress, and plan ahead for impactful climate action.

Thank you for creating a space that uplifts community voices, promotes strong leadership, and reinforces our collective commitment toward a resilient Pacific—especially as we journey toward COP31.

Together, we continue to paddle as one canoe, standing strong for climate justice and our shared future. 🌊✊

Tank yu tumas PICAN & VCAN for your leadership and dedication! 🌴
