This article explores the phenomenon of the use of ICT for climate change activism in the Pacific. Climate change activism in the Pacific is characterised by the use of ICT tools such as social media. The article draws on semi-structured interviews and an analysis of social media sites to examine the use of social media in Pacific climate change campaigns. While other campaigns such as relating to West Papua have also been facilitated by social media, it has been generally NGO, citizen-led and varied in Pacific government support. In contrast, climate change campaigns in the Pacific are fully supported at the NGO, citizen, and state levels. Furthermore, while early Pacific ICT-based climate change campaigns used iconic images of Pacific Islanders leaving their homelands, more recent campaigns have leveraged social media to depict Pacific Islanders not as victims but as ‘warriors’. This new imagery aims to empower Pacific Islanders and engender a regional Pacific identity that shows strength and solidarity on the Pacific’s stance towards climate change.

太平洋地区的气候变化宣传：信息和通信技术的作用

本文探讨了太平洋地区将 ICT 用于气候变化激进主义的现象。太平洋地区气候变化激进主义的特点是使用社交媒体等 ICT 工具。本文利用半结构化访谈和对社交媒体网站的分析来研究社交媒体在太平洋气候变化运动中的使用。虽然社交媒体也促进了其他活动，例如与西巴布亚有关的活动，但它通常是非政府组织，由公民主导，并在太平洋政府的支持下有所不同。相比之下，太平洋地区的气候变化运动得到了非政府组织、公民和州政府的全力支持。此外，虽然早期基于太平洋信息通信技术的气候变化运动使用了太平洋岛民离开家园的标志性图像，最近的运动利用社交媒体将太平洋岛民描述为“战士”而不是受害者。这幅新图像旨在增强太平洋岛民的能力，并产生一种区域性太平洋身份，以显示太平洋对气候变化的立场的力量和团结。
