Effects of climate change on ocean fisheries relevant to the Pacific Islands

In the Pacific Island region, oceanic fisheries target four species of tuna skipjack, yellowfin, bigeye and South Pacific albacore and make critical contributions to economic development, government revenue and livelihoods in most nations. Climate change is expected to have profound effects on oceanic fish habitats, food webs, the fish stocks they support and, as a consequence, the productivity of fisheries.

Effects of climate change on 1.5 degrees temperature rise relevant to the Pacific Islands

Available Online

Pringle, Patrick

This report synthesizes the emerging evidence of climate impacts at different temperature thresholds for Pacific islands. All evidence points to vast differences in impacts in a 1.5 ?C world, compared to the +3 ?C world to which our current policies and climate change pledges are leading us.

Effects of climate change on society, culture and gender relevant to the Pacific Islands

Available Online

Burfitt, Bronwen

Lui, Siosinamele

Straza, Tiffany

The effects of climate change on Pacific Islands are expected to have significant implications for society, culture and gender. Social and cultural groups will be impacted differently, with some being disproportionately affected by climate change. These groups also play an important role in sharing information and should be consulted and included in all efforts to promote climate action. Inclusion of social and cultural considerations increases

Effects of climate change on fish and shellfish relevant to the Pacific islands, and the coasta fisheries they support

Johnson, Johanna

Pratchett, Morgan

Welch David J

In the Pacific Islands region, fish and invertebrates (specifically shellfish) fulfil important ecological roles in coastal and oceanic habitats, and many species are targeted by fisheries, making vital contributions to food security, livelihoods, government revenue and cultural heritage.

Effects of climate change on mangroves relevant to the Pacific Islands

Available Online

Ellison, Joanna C.

Pacific island mangroves include the worlds centre of mangrove biodiversity in Papua New Guinea, and extend east through all countries and territories as far as the Marshall Islands and Samoa. Mangroves provide many values to local communities, however immense worldwide losses have occurred in the past century owing to human coastal development, including around urban centres in the Pacific islands.

Effects of climate change on settlements and infrastructure relevant to the Pacific Islands

Available Online

Connell, John

From around the time of independence, mostly in the 1970s, the coastal zones of most Pacific states have experienced changes in land use, from being primarily agricultural to becoming increasingly urban and tourism orientated. This coastal squeeze has led to a concentration of infrastructure and wealth in low lying coastal areas, prone to multiple natural hazards, the impacts of which are exacerbated by climate change.

Effects of climate change on extreme events relevant to the Pacific Islands

Available Online

Anderson, Cheryl L.

Diamon, Howard J.

Lefale, Penehuro F.

Pacific Island Commonwealth Member States (Pacific CMSs) are highly vulnerable to climate change (high confidence; robust evidence, high agreement). Impacts of climate change on extreme events relevant to Pacific CMSs vary, dependent on the magnitude, frequency, and temporal and spatial extent of the event, as well as on the biophysical nature of the island and its social, economic, and political setting (high confidence).
