Pacific Island Developing Countries (PIDCs) contribute a minuscule 0.03 percent to global carbon dioxide emissions, with residents producing only a quarter of the world's average emissions per person. However, despite their minimal emissions, these nations are expected to face some of the earliest and harshest consequences of climate change, with a particular focus on its impact on freshwater resources. This chapter delves into the potential threats posed by climate change to the already stressed freshwater supplies in PIDCs.
Coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The degradation and loss of these ecosystems, stemming from the increased impacts of climate change-related drivers, threaten the well being of island communities in Micronesia, as they are very reliant on and connected with these coastal ecosystems.
