Systematic observation, adaptation programs, improved institutional frameworks for disaster risk management, and partnerships at all levels are essential elements for any strategy to enhance local capacities to cope with climate change in the food sector. This document presents the results of a partnership between the FAO, the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program and the University of the South Pacific. The book presents the issues and requirements that Pacific islands face regarding the impacts of climate change on food sources and water and offers national assessments and recommendations for strategies to mitigate, adapt, and respond to the challenges posed by climate variability on agriculture and food security.
