The Pacific is changing.
Can YOU change what comes next?
01 — You should be aware of the change first
How much has climate change affected the Pacific?
Across the Pacific, island communities are especially vulnerable to rising sea levels as many of the islands are low-lying. Since glaciers and ice sheets melt due to climate change, more water enters the ocean, causing sea levels to rise and threatening the environments and the resources these communities depend on.

1993 — PRESENT02 — You should know what is driving climate change mostly?
What is driving climate change?
A major part of the problem is the energy we use. The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and intensify the warming of our planet. But emissions are not the same everywhere — and neither is the responsibility.

How can energy become part of the solution?
Renewable energy can help slow the processes behind rising sea levels. Solar, wind, geothermal power, etc. produce electricity without relying on fossil fuels, helping to limit further warming of the oceans and reduce ice loss from land over time. This is particularly crucial for the Pacific nations, where rising sea levels threaten low-lying islands, coastlines and the communities that depend on them.
NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Around the world, renewable energy is becoming a larger part
of the energy mix. Pacific Island countries are moving in the
same direction — but the transition is far from complete.
So what would happen if YOU could shape that transition yourself?
Your goal is to build a cleaner energy future for the Pacific.
STEP 1 — EXPLORE *The data comes from .Stat Explorer (Power generation)
Explore the Pacific
Click on an island to see its current energy mix.
Click any island on the map.
Click an energy source to invest your credits.
Spend your credits across as many islands as you want.
Choose an energy source to invest.
STEP 2 — SAVE YOUR PACIFIC
You have the power to change the Pacific.
Every island has different energy needs and different opportunities to move towards renewable energy.
Use your credits
You have a limited number of energy credits. Use them wisely — every decision matters.
Choose where they go
Distribute your credits across the Pacific. You decide which islands receive support.
Change the region
Your choices affect the Pacific as a whole. There is no single correct solution.
THE PACIFIC
CAN TURN A
CHALLENGE INTO
AN ADVANTAGE.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing Pacific island communities. But the same geography that creates vulnerability can also provide opportunities for renewable energy.
SUN → SOLAR
Many Pacific islands receive strong solar resources, making solar photovoltaic systems a natural option for producing electricity locally.
WIND → POWER
Coastal environments can provide useful wind resources, creating another opportunity to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.
OCEAN → ENERGY
Waves, tides and ocean currents can offer additional renewable-energy opportunities where local conditions make them practical.
LOCAL → RESILIENT
Producing more energy locally can reduce reliance on imported fuels and help island communities build more resilient energy systems.
The goal is not to replace every energy source overnight. It is to use the resources available in the Pacific to create a cleaner and more resilient future.
