Climate change poses a significant threat to humanity by intensifying multiple hazards. South Pacific Island countries (SPICs) are affected and face a dire challenge to survival. Sea level rise is reducing the already limited land for human and animal habitation. Tropical cyclones and droughts are having devastating effects on the lives of humans and animals. Tropical cyclone Winston, for example, destroyed infrastructure for humans and animals in some parts of Fiji, and infectious diseases are spreading to regions where they are not commonly seen following cyclones and floods. Likewise, climate change is making droughts worse. Droughts are destroying crops and pasturelands and making freshwater unavailable for human and animal populations in the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. There is an urgent need to ascertain the best approaches to tackle the events, which are already happening. Short-term changes can be managed at local levels through public awareness campaigns, understanding the weather patterns to prepare for disasters, reclaiming land, improving livestock breeds, introducing zoos and wildlife sanctuaries and inventing economically feasible technologies to harvest water. Long-term solutions depend on the implementation of international agreements, international aid and collective effort.

气候变化对南太平洋岛国可持续畜牧生产和野生动物和海洋物种存在的影响:综述

气候变化加剧了多种危害,对人类构成了重大威胁。南太平洋岛国 (SPIC) 受到影响,面临严峻的生存挑战。海平面上升正在减少已经有限的人类和动物栖息地。热带气旋和干旱正在对人类和动物的生活产生破坏性影响。例如,热带气旋温斯顿摧毁了斐济某些地区人类和动物的基础设施,传染病正在蔓延到热带气旋和洪水之后不常见的地区。同样,气候变化使干旱变得更糟。干旱正在摧毁农作物和牧场,并使所罗门群岛和图瓦卢的人类和动物无法获得淡水。迫切需要确定处理已经发生的事件的最佳方法。可以通过提高公众意识运动、了解天气模式以备灾、开垦土地、改善牲畜品种、引入动物园和野生动物保护区以及发明经济上可行的技术来收集水资源,从而在地方层面管理短期变化。长期解决方案取决于国际协定的执行、国际援助和集体努力。引进动物园和野生动物保护区,并发明经济上可行的技术来收集水。长期解决方案取决于国际协定的执行、国际援助和集体努力。引进动物园和野生动物保护区,并发明经济上可行的技术来收集水。长期解决方案取决于国际协定的执行、国际援助和集体努力。
