Climate Adaptation Arts Seminar
For this year's Climate Art Seminar, JO-JIKUM is shifting its focus from Climate Change and Health to the Climate Adaptation Arts Seminar (CAAS). With a more immersive, hands-on approach, we draw directly from the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)’s Reimaanlok Process – the foundation of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP). Recognized as “our survival plan,” the NAP provides a comprehensive framework for building resilience against climate impacts. This seminar aims to deepen youth engagement with the NAP strategies through artistic expression and youth empowerment. Furthermore, this seminar will not only highlight the critical Adaptation Pathways outlined within the NAP but also engage participants in practical, place-based activities that reflect the deeply interconnected relationship between Marshallese culture and the environment. Students will have the opportunity to learn about community-driven adaptation efforts, including traditional resource management and ecosystem restoration. They will also explore how to express their ideas through innovative artistic expressions, drawing inspiration from their culture and the lessons learned. By integrating local knowledge with creative arts, the seminar will equip youth with the tools to transform challenges into pathways for sustainable progress, ensuring that their voices are central to the nation’s journey towards resilience.
