Fourteen Pacific island nations will receive $107 million from the Green Climate Fund to adapt their tuna-dependent economies affected by climate change. The funding will establish a warning system to track tuna migration changes. Conservation International highlights this as a significant climate justice issue since these nations contribute little to climate problems. The announcement comes amid concerns over the U.S. withdrawal from climate agreements, underscoring the urgency for local solutions to combat climate impacts, according to experts like Ludwig Kumoru.
"These are the countries that contribute the least to the climate crisis and now are going to lose a resource that they have collectively stewarded better than any other ocean basin."
"We can't just drop our guard because somebody has dropped out of the Paris agreement. At the end of the day, if we don't pay attention to climate change, it's going to be the demise of all of us."
