Project Justification 1a. Project Description 1. Background Information 1.a. Solomon Islands and Honiara The Solomon Islands is a small island developing state (SIDS) in the South West Pacific Ocean. With a population of about 687,000, the Melanesian country is composed of over 900 islands spread across 9 provinces (Figure 1). Many of the islands are small and many are in atoll settings. A few are larger, mountainous, and of volcanic origin. The economy of Solomon Islands is largely based on services (approximately 40 percent of GDP), agriculture (approximately 15 percent of GDP) and forestry (approximately 15 percent of GDP). The manufacturing sector remains very small. Much of the population depends on subsistence agriculture for their livelihoods. The country is one of the most vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change – ranked among the top 40 most vulnerable global nations in the ND-GAIN 2016 Index. This is due in large part to the fact that the majority of the population lives within 1.5 km of the coastline and the islands are regularly exposed to extreme rainfall events. High poverty rates, excessive dependence on foreign aid, and remoteness make the Solomon Islands particularly vulnerable to climate variability and change. The country is officially classified as a Least Developed Country (LDC)
