Minister highlights climate, fisheries concerns at oceans conference

Minister highlights climate, fisheries concerns at oceans conference


Minister for Climate Change and National Resilience Asterio Appi told the Ocean Climate Nexus panel during the ninth Our Ocean conference in Greece that it cannot close its eyes on the adverse effects of climate change on small islands, 16 April.

 

Minister Appi said climate change has noticeable effects on tuna fisheries which is a major source of funds for Nauru's national treasury, and therefore critical for its food security.

Due to its vulnerability Nauru is investing in its own national resilience. Some of those include looking at plans to build more sea walls to safe guard livelihoods and existing critical infrastructure that are important to maintain Nauru's development.

Another is investing in the higher ground initiative which recently completed phase two. Nauru now has the designs and concepts around relocating livelihoods to higher ground on the island.

"Climate change has moved far beyond just an economic, or social, or environmental issue. It is a threat to security. Nauru believes it is critical to recognise this and create and enhance partnerships and cooperation to address these threats."

 

The conference focus areas are Sustainable Tourism in coastal areas and islands; Green Shipping; Plastic and Microplastic Pollution; and the Green transition in the Mediterranean Sea.
