The 2020 global spatial targets for protected areas set by the Convention on Biological Diversity have almost been achieved, but management e3ffectiveness remains deficient.

The Republic of Korea-Paci c Islands Climate Prediction Services project (ROK-PI CLIPS) seeked to provide nationally tailored seasonal climate prediction information and build the prediction capacity of the PICTs. This project was funded by the Government of Korea through the Pacific Island Forum Secretariat (PIFS) and was implemented by the APEC Climate Center (APCC) and the Secretariat of the Pacifc Regional Environment Program (SPREP).

The Pacific islands region is one of the world's most vulnerable regions to climate change. The Pacific island countries and territories (PICT) depend on their food production systems, fisheries, which are both expected to be largely affected by climate change. There is also an expected increase in intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones that have the potential to cause widespread destruction throughout the island region. These factors make it essential for these islands to adapt and to prepare for the challenges posed by climate change. However, it is impossible to know which adaptive measures to take when there is a lack of high quality climate information to support the planning and management of climate risks.
