Halitesh Datt, Fiji TV in Doha, Qatar
Interview with Mr. Joseph Aitaro, National Coordinator, Palau Protected Areas Network
So
far we have heard how climate change has been posing a long and short term
threats to countries around the world especially Pacific.
However
climate change is now a major threat to Palau's leading income earner,
the tourism industry.
With
a population of just over 20 thousand people, Palau is now facing unpredictable
weather patterns, coastal erosion, damage to its natural beauty as well as food
security issues.
The
United Nations Environment Programme has now stepped in to provide Palau
monitoring and technical support.
Palau
is also hoping that the second commitment period by the world leaders
would bear some positive results.
