This paper describes a community-based framework for combining different types of knowledge to address climate change. It builds on earlier work by Mercer to develop and pilot a framework for addressing disaster risk reduction in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The 52 SIDS face similar sustainability challenges, including exceptional vulnerability to climate change.
