In addresses to two recent climate change meetings in the Pacific region, Inoke Ratukalou, Acting Director of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) Land Resource Division (LRD), has stressed on the need to protect SIDS’ agriculture sector from the impacts of climate change, and emphasized that climate change should be considered a development issue, not just an environmental one.
One statement was presented at a two-week workshop on Agro-meteorological Applications and Climate Change Impact Assessment in Nadi, Fiji.
The second statement was made on 19 May 2011 when Ratukalou gave closing remarks at the Vanuatu Climate Change Adaptation Strategy workshop in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
