Preparations for the summit and the royal trip have been going on for months... A highlight of the visit will be the king receiving the title of Toa'iga o Tumua, or paramount chief, and taking a walk in a mangrove reserve to see the impact of climate change on Pacific nations and their communities.
The king tide today is about twice it was 20, 30 years ago, and that is affecting our land and it's eating away at some of the areas that are so hard for us to control, Lenatai Victor Tamapua, a Samoan chief and member of parliament, said.
People have to move inwards, inland now. King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to meet with Commonwealth leaders to discuss pressing issues including climate change.
