Climate Change in the Blue PacificThe Blue Pacific Continent covers more than one third of the earth's surface and is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Sea level rise, extreme weather, and warming oceans present great challenges to the well-being and survival of people, nations, economies, and the diverse ecosystems of the region.
Many of the Pacific nations have contributed the least to climate change and yet are experiencing some of the severest impacts. Tackling the climate crisis presents opportunities to secure our future, improve well-being, build on the resilience of communities, and develop clean economies for the Blue Pacific Continent. |

Blue Pacific to GlasgowIn October 2021, Climate Reality hosted an online forum for Pacific voices to be heard in Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific—and the world—for ambitious climate commitments at the Glasgow COP 26 climate negotiations.
The forum featured former U.S Vice President, Hon Al Gore; Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum, Hon Henry Puna; Fiji Prime Minister and Chair of the Pacific Islands Forum, Hon Frank Bainimarama; and other prominent government and civil society leaders for this Blue Pacific to Glasgow Forum. Key speakers explored the needed outcomes from the critical COP26 negotiations in Glasgow this November to secure a safe and prosperous climate across this region. |
