Climate change and rising sea levels are threatening the existence of Solomon Islands. For many small island communities, their traditional way of living is under attack. Ontong Java is a Polynesian community within Solomon Islands. There are roughly 3,000 that live across two villages on the atoll and another 1,000 people from Ontong Java have already settled in the capital of Solomon Islands: Honiara. I travelled to Solomon Islands in 2018 in an attempt to humanize sea level rise and climate change. I spent a couple of months with the community to learn from their perspective at the front lines of a global emergency. #SolomonIslands #SeaLevelRise #OntongJava
