| Summary: | Increasing land and sea temperatures, rising sea levels, changing rainfall patterns, and ocean acidification will likely exacerbate challenges to food and water security and poverty reduction in the Coral Triangle of the Pacific. This brief provides representatives of national government and regional organizations—and other key decision makers in climate change, development, fisheries, agriculture, environment, and natural resource management in Coral Triangle of the Pacific (CTP) and similar countries—with policy advice to help rural communities adapt to climate change. The brief also provides donor organizations with information on where to target resources to support fishing and farming communities as they adapt to climate change. Policy interventions and issues to be considered are highlighted.
