The report, Climate Change in the Federated States of Micronesia: Indicators and Considerations for Key Sectors, is the fifth in a series of reports prepared by the Pacific Islands Regional Climate Assessment (PIRCA), a consortium of government, NGO, and research entities. Authors from Arizona State University’s Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation, the East-West Center, and the University of Hawaiʻi, along with 30 technical contributors from local government, NGOs, and research, collaboratively developed the FSM PIRCA report. The report lays out the changes the country is already experiencing, as well as what lies ahead.
