Invasive species management is one really good example of that because it makes Pacific Island states that much more resilient to climate change. Invasive species don't allow systems to be in good health if you look around the Pacific there's a lot of impacts from invasive species that don't allow our ecosystems and Islands to function the way that they usually would have I would I would encourage the other small island states in the Pacific and throughout the world to consider because these are the stresses that we have to remove from the equation to be able to combat the climate change when we link it to the climate change and disaster
