Since the 1960's most island groups of the South Pacific have achieved Independence and many new nations have been established. Secession movements in many areas have resulted in fragmentation producing the break-up of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands
and the disintegration of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. The distinctive characteristics of the Pacific nations: their small size, and limited natural resources, their isolation from each other and from markets and fragmentation within multiple island
countries. The extension of outside interests into the Pacific has brought rapid economic changes, the emergence of cash cropping and the decline of subsistence agriculture, increased dependence on imports (especially food) and rapid urbanization, producing
growing dependence and inequality and outmigration. This suggests that strategies of development that appear viable elsewhere have little chance of success in the Pacific.

This paper examines the links between climate change and security in the island states of the South-west Pacific. A worst-case scenario of climate change is presented which suggests that land will be lost or rendered uninhabitable in all Pacific
states of the South-west Pacific. Clearly, climate change is an important threat to human security.
