UNESCO is welcoming community-level projects with a climate change focus applying for funding under its new Frontline Forum.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation says the projects could involve field research, interviews with community members, workshops, photo projects, film projects and the like.
Denmark has provided some of the funding to assist with the schemes.
UNESCO's Science advisor for the Pacific, Jan Steffen, says smaller communities are often on the frontlines of climate change, but he says these communities themselves don't really have much of a voice and remain largely on the sideline of climate change debates.
"So we hope that by establishing this frontline forum we could actually invite communities to share their observations on climate change impacts as well as actually their own local efforts to cope with and adapt to these changes"
UNESCO's Science advisor for the Pacific, Jan Steffen says the call for proposals will remain open until the 15th of July.
