Abstract

This paper assumes knowledge and general acceptance of how climate change issues are affecting the Pacific region. It is understood that globally there is a need to limit human induced temperature rise and the fact that sea water intrusion, flooding, storms and droughts are already increasing in intensity. The issue of water is a particular concern and as an immediate security threat to the sustainability of Pacific populations may be more urgent than any of the other threats of climate change.
