Climate change impacts Pacific tuna economies

A US$ 107 million grant announced this week from the Green Climate Fund will help 14 Pacific island nations adapt their tuna-dependent economies as climate change threatens the critical industry. Conservation International led the science behind the grant and highlighted that climate change will have a devastating impact on these nations’ economies. The funding will also be used to develop an advanced warning system to monitor tuna migration and seek compensation if the fish move out of their waters.
