Climate Change, Food Security, and Socioeconomic Livelihood in Pacific Islands
Asian Development Bank and International Food Policy Research Institute | October 2015
Abstract
This report assesses the impact of climate change on agriculture and fisheries in three Pacific Island countries, including the impacts on agricultural production, economic returns for major crops, and food
security. Alternative adaption policies are examined in order to provide policy options that reduce the impact of climate change on food security. The overall intention is to provide a clear message for development
practitioners and policymakers about how to cope with the threats, as well as understand the opportunities surrounding ongoing climate change. Project countries include Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands.
