Climate change poses the biggest security threat in the Asia-Pacific region, Fiji's defence minister has warned at a high-level security summit that has been dominated by geopolitical tensions. "In our blue Pacific continent, machine guns, fighter jets, grey ships and green battalions are not our primary security concern," said Seruiratu.
The meeting has been dominated by debate over Russia's offensive in Ukraine and rising tensions between the United States and China over everything from Taiwan's sovereignty to naval bases in the Pacific.Low-lying Pacific island nations are some of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in the world. Threats range from cyclones that are becoming more regular and powerful, to rising seas.
