    Abstract

    Small island developing states and their natural and socioeconomic environments are considered particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change. Albeit tourism is often regarded as the future economic driver for many such destinations, the industry has received relatively little attention in local and regional adaptation processes. This chapter specifically explores the role that donor funding has played in facilitating adaptation of tourism-related activities in Kiribati and Tuvalu and proposes ways to more effectively enhance outcomes. Theoretical and practical insights are provided, discussing how adaptations are not only shaped by awareness and motivations of local and governmental stakeholders, but how these are also informed by regional and international donors and their implementing agencies.
