Climate change is one of the most serious threats to sustainable development and to the very survival of Pacific Island Countries and communities. In 2007 the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders reiterated their deep concern over this serious and growing threat to the economic, social and environmental well being of Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs),their communities, peoples and cultures. They have been calling on the international community to take conceited action to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere since 1990.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was ratified by the Federated states of Micronesia (FSM) Congress in 1994 as part of its commitments to the Earth Summit in 1992 and national efforts to promoting the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
