Usually nothing, so….

The Crown Prince of Norway, Haakon Magnus, had an unblemished look at the effects of the rising sea on Samoa on Thursday, with visits to the Vaisigano River project and Moata’a mangroves.

He, along with his royal entourage and a delegation from Norway’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spent a packed day and a half in Samoa, in order to deepen the partnership between nations afflicted by the effects of climate change.

Under the hot sun, the delegation were guided to the looming river bed walls, which now adorn the edges of the Vaisigano River, thanks to a US$57,700,000 (T$150.17) grant from the Green Climate Fund under the Integrated Flood Management to Enhance Climate Resilience of the Vaisigano River Catchment in Samoa project.
