Early action on adaptation and mitigation will be beneficial in both the near and long term, reducing climate risks for humans and ecosystems. Adaptation actions will benefit Pacific islanders through reduced vulnerability but cannot prevent all losses and damages.

Global warming will increase in the near term, with estimates of reaching 1.5° C in the early 2030s. Pacific island countries and territories (PICTs) have continually advocated to limit warming to below 1.5°C as the climate impacts beyond this level are particularly severe for Pacific islanders.
