John Moffat Fugui on Relocation

The Solomon Islands government is assessing the relocation of communities living in low lying areas, as part of its national plan to deal with those at risk from rising sea levels.

The Minister of Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology, John Moffat Fugui, communities on Lord Howe Island have been identified for relocation.

He says funding would be made available in July to allow his ministry to study its options for the Lorde Howe islanders.
