Climate Change in the Asia/Pacific Region

by Preston, Suppiah, Macadam and Bathols

The Asia/Pacific region encompasses some of the planet's greatest cultural, economic, and ecological diversity. Approximately 60% of the world's population resides in the region, in communities ranging from major urban centres to remote rural communities. Many of the countries within the Asia/Pacific region are developing nations, still struggling to tap into the global economic market and with little climate footprint. To combat these disadvantages, significant development assistance flows into the Asia/Pacific region on an annual basis. Australia contributed over $1 billion in aid to Asia/Pacific nations in 2004/05. Meanwhile, ongoing environmental degradation is eroding the valuable goods and services of the region's natural ecosystems. These socioeconomic circumstances form the human and environmental context in which climate change and its consequences will be experienced.
