Communication Materials

The communications materials for the Pacific Ocean and Climate Crisis Assessment (POCCA) should focus on raising awareness about the critical challenges facing the Pacific region due to climate change. The website must highlight the interconnectedness of ocean health and the well-being of Pacific island communities, emphasizing the region’s vulnerability to rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and extreme weather events.

Content should include a detailed overview of the climate crisis, supported by data and visual aids such as charts, maps, and infographics, showing how the Pacific Ocean is being impacted. Case studies of affected islands and communities can personalize the crisis, putting a human face to the environmental challenges. Storytelling techniques that highlight local voices—particularly from indigenous and coastal communities—can resonate emotionally with audiences and underscore the urgency for action.
