What are the Main Challenges for The Pacific Ocean Countries?

All The Pacific Ocean countries have nearby total 2.3 million populations. There are many islands dotted in The Pacific Ocean but most of them are scattered. Most of these countries are in the extremely remote locations. Which is the biggest problem for doing development here.

Challenges for The Pacific Ocean Countries

1. Tourists have to think before to go there because these countries are not easily accessible.  These countries are also called lonely places due to extremely remote locations.

2. Consequences are very sad for these countries. Most of these countries are undeveloped, because development is the biggest challenge here due to remote locations.

3. These countries have some natural resources in their land but the areas are very small. In result most of them are poor countries.

4. Also most of these countries are affected badly with the horrible climate conditions here like cyclones, storms, hurricanes and majorly with the rising levels of water in the sea, it is happening due to global warming.

5. Most of the countries in The Pacific Ocean area are affected with the rising level of water in the sea. Because of their structure, mostly are made up by small islets.

6. Investors don’t show their interest to invest in these countries due to remote locations and the horrible weather and climate conditions here.

7. Many countries like Kiribati and Tuvalu has already started to sink. Kiribati has already lost their sea wall due to heavy tides. Many islets and villages have left their houses to save their lives and villages are completely evacuated.

8. Mostly they are all dependent on import for their daily need products. In results these countries are expensive for the tourists and have only very airports and flights all around the world.

9. These islands are all dependent on their international partners to run their economies, which are already very few. Even many countries don’t have their embassies in these countries. Like in Nauru there are only 2 embassies and high commissions, one of Australia and another of Taiwan. 

10. In spite of all that World Bank is trying his best and providing them the findings to promote their tourism, agriculture, fishing, and international connectivity and so on. But the rising ocean levels and stronger tropical storms are still the biggest challenges here.

11. But the truth is sustainable development is far away from here and in a nutshell nowhere. Because most of these countries still don’t have the proper education institutions, manufacturing capabilities and all other basic things required to develop a nation.

12. Also women empowerment and political awareness is almost zero in these countries. Many countries have no women in their parliament. Which is known as slow violence. Because these people don’t know their rights and also not aware about how to raise their voices against the wrongdoings.

13. Inequality is everywhere in terms of gender equality and people are living their lives with disabilities in many countries such as health, mental or physical.

14. Youth population is very high here. Which is known as the symbol or energy of the growth and innovations for any nation. But ironically unemployment rate is very high in these countries. And the youth bulge is idle here. Also Tonga is a country in The Pacific Ocean, which is famous for officially closed on Sundays.

15. Also many of these countries often fight with other and also with Asian countries on borders due to border issues and land masses. As they all have very small areas of land due to all around ocean and water.

So these are major issues and challenges with these Pacific Ocean countries are fighting. Please comment below and I love to hear your thoughts.
