Description
USAID carries out U.S. foreign policy by promoting broad-scale human progress at the same time it expands stable, free societies, creates markets and trade partners for the United States, and fosters good will abroad. USAID's Pacific Islands Regional Office helps Pacific Island nations address acute environmental issues and the potential negative effects resulting from global climate change. USAID's Pacific Islands region covers 12 nations, home to more than 8.5 million people, major fisheries, coral reefs and important tropical forests. It is vital to U.S. security and regional interests. The region is diverse, with more than 1,000 languages and national populations that range from less than 10,000 to more than six million. The nations that make up this region, with its coral atolls and high peaks, are among the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of global climate change as well as being some of the least able to respond to it.
