Pacific food systems under threat
In the Pacific, where 90% of people live within 5km of the coast, climate change is threatening access to affordable, safe and nutritious food.
Sea levels in parts of the Pacific have risen 10–15 cm, nearly twice the global average, reducing the area of land available to grow and harvest food. In the Solomon Islands, at least five islands have been completely lost due to sea-level rise and coastal erosion.
