These countries will experience frequent flooding, coastal erosion, and eventual submergence due to climate change. Beijing is well positioned to capitalize on its island-building capabilities to offer PICs a much-needed service, as well as financing. Land reclamation projects will give China increased political and economic leverage over PICs, threatening the U.S. and allied defense posture in the Western Pacific. In response, Washington and its regional partners should take a multilateral approach to: (1) offer alternative land reclamation services and funding for climate resiliency and (2) highlight and limit problematic Chinese economic activity in the region. Introduction Climate change is the greatest security threat to the Pacific Region - Admiral Locklear, former Commander of the US-Pacific Fleet, 20131 China is directly interested in expanding its power and influence and, I would submit, creating dependence in the Pacific.
