### Key findings
- The Solomon Islands faces growing macroeconomic challenges from climate change affecting economic growth, public finances, and key export sectors over the coming decades.
- Rising temperatures, changing marine ecosystems, and sea-level rise are identified as primary physical drivers of economic risk.
- Fisheries are projected to face declining productivity.
- Coastal areas are projected to have increasing exposure to inundation.
- Sustainable forestry management could generate economic gains.
- The analysis combines climate projections and empirical evidence to assess risks and evaluate adaptation priorities.

### Projected impacts on sectors and macroeconomy
- Fisheries: projected declining productivity due to changing marine ecosystems.
- Coastal areas: projected increasing exposure to inundation from sea-level rise.
- Forestry: sustainable management identified as a potential source of economic gains.
- Macroeconomic channels: risks are expected to influence economic growth and public finances over the coming decades.

### Policy implications and adaptation priorities
- Need for efficient adaptation policies to manage climate-driven macroeconomic risks.
- Strengthened resource management is required, including fisheries and forestry governance.
- Robust decision-making frameworks should be implemented to enhance long-term economic resilience.
- Evaluation and prioritization of adaptation actions are critical given sectoral heterogeneity in impacts and benefits.
