Climate change is posing a long-term threat to the region’s marine environment.
Because of COVID-19 travel restrictions, only four Pacific island nations — Fiji, Palau, Papua New Guinea, and Tuvalu — will be represented by their heads of state this year at the global climate summit, leaving the other 11 with smaller teams of delegates and volunteers from nonprofit organizations.
