This commentary responds to David Chandler and Jonathan Pugh’s (2021) thought-provoking article, ‘Anthropocene Islands: There Are Only Islands After the End of the World’. It begins by highlighting the new visibility of Pacific islands and islanders in the discourses and media coverage of climate change and the Anthropocene. I argue that scholars need to be critical of reductionist representations of the Pacific and should, instead, highlight the complexities of Pacific agency, complexity, and subjectivity in order to think more fully about the Anthropocene in the Pacific. Moreover, scholars should delve into the Pacific humanities to become attuned to how Pacific Islanders are feeling the precarity and urgency of climate change.

这篇评论回应了大卫·钱德勒（David Chandler）和乔纳森·普（Jonathan Pugh）（2021）的发人深省的文章“人类世群岛：世界尽头之后只有诸岛”。它首先强调了太平洋岛屿和岛民在有关气候变化和人类世界的论述和媒体报道中的新知名度。我认为，学者们必须批评太平洋的简化派代表，而应该强调太平洋机构的复杂性，复杂性和主观性，以便更全面地思考太平洋的人类世。此外，学者们应该深入研究太平洋人文科学，以适应太平洋岛民如何感觉到气候变化的危险性和紧迫性。
