    Food Security and Climate Change in the Pacific: Rethinking the Options

    "Food Security and Climate Change in the Pacific: Rethinking the Options" by M. Ahmed, J.Maclean, R.V. Gerpacio, M.A. Sombilla
    ADB | 2011 | ISBN: 9789290923930 9789290923947 | 85 pages | PDF | 1 MB

    This report describes the present state of food security and its contributing factors in the Pacific region, assesses its prospects amid the growing threats and likely impacts of climate change, and presents potential areas for more active assistance, investments, and interventions from ADB and other development partners.

    The Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) are a diverse array of countries with widely varying topographies, cultures and economies, fragile natural resource environments, and prosperity, stability, and security that can be compromised by the impacts and consequences of climate change. The Pacific island governments view climate change as a priority issue, especially in terms of its potential impacts on food security, and need clear directions in addressing both issues.

    While technical and policy measures to ensure food security amid the ensuing climate change are numerous, interrelated, and complex, the successful implementation of programs and projects calls for simple and flexible designs that carefully consider the capabilities of relevant stakeholders at the regional, national, and local levels.
