This report is an outcome of the high degree of cooperation and collaboration that exists between the implementing partners of the Australia Aid-funded Climate and Ocean Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac). specifically the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), the Pacific Community (SPC) and Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP) together with the valuable ongoing support from the national meteorological services in the IS partner countries and territories.

The food systems of the Pacific region are undergoing massive changes that will be felt for generations to come. Profound changes need to be applied to the food systems in order to deal with challenges such as rapid population growth, urbanisation and the importing of cheap, but nutritionally poor, foods. These challenges are causing some of the highest levels of obesity and non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, in the world. This booklet puts forward a set of contrasting scenarios that summarise the most important and uncertain drivers of change. The scenarios can be used to develop and test policies, plans and strategies for the future and encourage the necessary investments to support adaptation to agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture.
