Abstract
The Pacific islands region is one of the world's most vulnerable regions to climate change. The Pacific island countries and territories (PICT) depend on their food production systems, fisheries, which are both expected to be largely affected by climate change. There is also an expected increase in intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones that have the potential to cause widespread destruction throughout the island region. These factors make it essential for these islands to adapt and to prepare for the challenges posed by climate change. However, it is impossible to know which adaptive measures to take when there is a lack of high quality climate information to support the planning and management of climate risks.
