Why Geohazards Must Be Part of the Pacific’s Resilience Agenda By Daisuke Maruichi, Litea Biukoto, Emilia Gaspoz and Temily Baker BANGKOK, Thailand, Nov 6 2026 (IPS) - For years, global discussions of disaster risk in the Pacific have been dominated by climate change. Rising seas, intensifying cyclones and coastal erosion have rightly captured international attention. This focus, while warranted, should be complemented by greater recognition of geohazards, which are just as consequential and in many cases, more immediately devastating. Addressing this gap requires a more coordinated approach, supported by sustained investment and stronger partnerships, to foster cooperation and strengthen resilience across the Pacific. https://www.ipsnews.net/2026/11/why-geohazards-must-be-part-of-the-pacifics-resilience-agenda/ Copyright © 2026 IPS-Inter Press Service.
