Description:
"Coastal communities in the Coral Triangle are experiencing the impacts of climate change. Severe storms, coastal inundation, rising sea level and sea surface temperatures are threatening safety and food security of more than 120 million people that depend directly on local marine and coastal resources for their income and livelihoods. Climate change is emerging as a serious issue for our region's communities. The Coral Triangle Initiative for Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) was founded on the commitment of the six Coral Triangle countries (CT6): Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Timor-leste and the Solomon Islands, to accelerate efforts to safeguard the coastal and marine resources and communities. As part of this commitment, the CT6 embodies Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) as one of the five key goals within the CTI-CFF Regional Plan of Action, pledging to implement actions to reduce the impacts of and adapt to climate change"--Introduction.
