Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries are vital sectors for the socio-economic stability of SIDS, supporting livelihoods and contributing significantly to export earnings. However, these sectors are increasingly threatened by climate change, which exacerbates existing vulnerabilities and introduces new challenges. Climate variability and extreme weather events, such as cyclones, droughts, and floods, pose severe risks to food security, increase malnutrition and poverty, and hinder progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Pacific SIDS are among the most environmentally vulnerable regions globally, facing unique development challenges that are further compounded by climate change. The IPCC predicts more frequent and intense extreme weather events in the coming decades, threatening agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, particularly in low-lying islands at risk from sea level rise and groundwater contamination. The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) adopted at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP 23 highlights the need to integrate agriculture into climate change strategies. However, effective implementation at national and local levels requires engaging Ministries of Agriculture, local farmers, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and NGOs. Historically, UNFCCC negotiations have seen limited participation from agricultural ministries.
