Future changes in the mean climate of the tropical Pacific and characteristics of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are established as being likely. Determining the time of emergence of climate change signals from the natural variability is critical for mitigation strategies and adaptation plan...

to the varieties of migration, displacement, planned relocation as well as voluntary and involuntary immobility (collectively termed human mobil- ity) that take place in the context of disasters and climate change that increasingly impact the lives of people living across Asia and the Pacific. A...
As climate change drives more frequent extreme heat, this study reveals how global trade has intensified heat exposure for workers. Between 1995 and 2020, labour exposure to extreme heat rose by 89%, with many workers now spending nearly half their work hours in dangerous temperatures. ...
Implications of the results for adaptation research are also discussed. Introduction There can be few locations in the world that are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change than the low-lying atoll island nations of the Pacific (Fig. 1). Even at current mean sea levels, vulnerability...

A climate change signal in the tropical Pacific emerges from decadal variability This study identifies a Pacific Climate Change Pattern, hypothesized to be radiatively-forced, that has been emerging in the tropical Pacific Ocean since the mid-1950s and is distinct from the naturally varying Interdecad...
“Sea level rise is speeding up,” said Cooper-Halo, who is Director of Climate Change Resilience at the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). “We expected sea level rise in about 20 years to be showing the changes. But we are seeing it already now.” In ...
