- Abstract
- Small island countries in the Pacific have characteristics which enhance their vulnerability and reduce their resilience to the effects of climate change, sea-level rise and extreme events. Over the past decade, a number of studies have been undertaken to improve our understanding of climate variability and change in the Pacific. This chapter provides an overview of those studies and discusses possible challenges associated with climate model projections for the small island countries in the Pacific. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
