Traditional knowledge is a system of collective understandings transferred through communities across generations. It includes indigenous peoples' knowledge of the natural environment and the ecosystems they occupy, which is founded upon long-term and deeply meaningful connections between people and place. This means traditional knowledge often contains vital perspectives and information relevant tot he conservation of wildlife, especially in remote areas where academic research has been historically limited.

The Republic of Korea-Paci c Islands Climate Prediction Services project (ROK-PI CLIPS) seeked to provide nationally tailored seasonal climate prediction information and build the prediction capacity of the PICTs. This project was funded by the Government of Korea through the Pacific Island Forum Secretariat (PIFS) and was implemented by the APEC Climate Center (APCC) and the Secretariat of the Pacifc Regional Environment Program (SPREP).

The Pacific islands region is one of the world's most vulnerable regions to climate change. The Pacific island countries and territories (PICT) depend on their food production systems, fisheries, which are both expected to be largely affected by climate change. There is also an expected increase in intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones that have the potential to cause widespread destruction throughout the island region. These factors make it essential for these islands to adapt and to prepare for the challenges posed by climate change. However, it is impossible to know which adaptive measures to take when there is a lack of high quality climate information to support the planning and management of climate risks.
