The impact of climate change and sea level rise has been a reality of our lived experiences for generations. This article is a commentary on various efforts at the Institute of Education, University of the South Pacific, in supporting Pacific resilience and adaptation through education strategies that are shaped by Pacific Indigenous knowledge systems, cultures, and philosophies. Case studies are presented with commentaries on regional frameworks and education policies are provided to highlight emerging ideas about Pacific resilience and adaptation through formal education. The role of culture, spirituality, language and arts are seen as tools in strengthening Pacific resilience and adaption. The findings from this commentary suggest future directions for developing strategies and educational programmes that seek to restore a sense of balance of the individual, the collective and with nature, and thereby strengthen resilience and adaptation to climate change
