Climate Positive Action in the Pacific
By Brad Phillips and Sabrina Habu
Introduction
Rising sea temperatures, extreme weather events, coastal flooding and erosion, food security pressures, coral bleaching and degradation are just some of the consequences of climate change affecting all Pacific nations. Pacific nations contribute as little as 0.03 percent to global greenhouse gas levels yet are the most at risk to the impact of climate change and the flow on social and economic implications. In this article we are shining the light on the work being done in the Pacific to mitigate climate change by providing some examples of projects throughout the Pacific that are leading the fight against climate change and its related effects.
