ABSTRACT
Many media reports, documentaries and short films and some scholarly papers have tried to look at the sinking Carteret Islands due to climate change. The most recent assessment report that has answered questions that were often refuted by others is that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2001). It has tried to deal with more compelling issues of climate change and its other components of impacts, adaptation, vulnerability and mitigation. It is in this report that most discussions and research on climate change and climate-induced displacement form the basis for discussions.
