Pacific regional case studies are online
Climate Change and Pacific Islands: Indicators and Impacts, the report of the Pacific Islands Regional Climate Assessment (PIRCA), is currently in publication, expected to be released late Fall 2012. As part of the report, a number of case studies were developed, focusing on unique issues and areas within the Pacific region.

These case studies do a great job capturing the real-world impacts of climate change on Pacific Islands and show how climate information can be used to prepare for and respond to the impacts. Sincere thanks to the authors and contributors who pulled together this very useful information in such an engaging manner.
