Pacific Island Nations Face Existential Threat from Climate Change
Climate change poses a serious threat to Pacific islands, impacting their survival as homelands and nation-states. The warming of the earth is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat, leading to global warming. Small islands are particularly vulnerable to these changes, which can stress both natural and social systems. The consequences of climate change on the Pacific islands are significant, and efforts to mitigate and adapt to these effects are crucial for their future.
