Abstract: | Key climate change issues affecting Palau include hotter conditions, stronger typhoons, threats to coastal infrastructure, and declining ocean ecosystem health. Climate change is expected to disrupt many aspects of life in Palau. Those who are already vulnerable--including children, the elderly, low-income families, and individuals with disabilities--are at greater risk from extreme weather and climate events. Climate Change in Palau: Indicators and Considerations for Key Sectors provides guidance for decision-makers seeking to better understand the implications of climate variability and change for Palau and its communities. This assessment also identifies the additional information and research needed to support responses that enhance resilience and help Palau to withstand the changes to come. |
Description: | This report developed by the Pacific Islands Regional Climate Assessment (PIRCA) is one in a series of reports aimed at assessing the state of knowledge about climate change indicators, impacts, and adaptive capacity of the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands and the Hawaiian archipelago. Authors from the Republic of Palau's Office of Climate Change, the Coral Reef Research Foundation, the Palau International Coral Reef Center, and the East-West Center--along with 30 technical contributors from government and nongovernmental organizations, research, and community groups--collaboratively developed the Palau PIRCA report.
