At @ANU’s Asia Pacific Week in #Canberra this week, Abt’s Principal Climate Lead Satyendra Prasad drew attention to the intensifying challenges faced by #Pacific small island states.   “Climate change impacts on all areas of their development: from maintaining their physical infrastructure, to rebuilding food security to being able to respond to new health challenges. Geopolitical contestation in the region distracts energy and resources away from their efforts to tackle these worsening problems. Many Pacific states are unconvinced that international institutions are able to provide the level and pace of support that they now need,” he explained.   Dr Prasad invited scholars and researchers to work with Pacific island institutions to help frame new pathways to steer some of these countries away from heightened #fragility.
