Cook Islands: A Labor of Love

With financial support from the Adaptation Fund, the SRIC-CC Programme and communities in the Pa Enua are addressing environmental risks through community-based approaches and community-driven adaptation. The SRIC-CC Programme works with more than 200 individuals on community-based resilience initiatives to enhance water and food security across the 11 Pa Enua (outer islands) of the Cook Islands. One individual is Rourumaru (Rouru) Papatua, a proud young woman farmer part of the Phase 2 Young Farmers project.
