Small islands are responsible for few greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but they will experience the worst effects through sea level rise and water shortages. Small islands must act now to be ready for these changes.Adaptation is the process by which communities prepare
for and cope with changes in the climate. Many small islands, represented
through the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), are demanding assistance
from industrialised nations for this process. Research from the University of
East Anglia, UK in collaboration with the Caribbean Community Climate Change

Although the majority of the world’s fisherfolk live in areas susceptible to the impacts of climate change, relationships between the physical impacts of climate change and the livelihood vulnerability of poor fishing communities have seldom been investigated. This paper reports on a project that explored the potential impact of climate change on the sustainability of capture and enhancement fisheries important to poor people, with a view to informing the development of a research agenda in this field.

People are destroying coral reefs at an unprecedented rate. One part of a solution could be for the community to build artificial reefs. People are destroying coral reefs at an unprecedented rate. One part of a solution could be for the community to build artificial reefs.
