Pacific Islands States are amongst the most vulnerable experienci­ng first hand the full brunt of climate change impacts, but when it comes to accessing funds to support adaptation they struggle as a result of stringent donor requiremen­ts.

All in all, the climate change reality is one which gets more complicate­d, reflecting a real challenge which Pacific Island States have to encounter on a daily basis.

After 2000 it was predicted that the sequence of technologi­cal progress is not over and in the approachin­g future the world would experience the dawn of a new universal technologi­cal evolution.

Thus, the prediction made about 17 years ago is definitely and unquestion­ably correct because as almost all works and fields of life are involved with a particular aspect of technologi­cal progress.

Moreover, wide assortment­s of other evolutions are connected with technologi­cal evolution.

Firstly, commercial evolution where the economy grows due to the use of modern technology in the production process (industrial evolution).

Secondly, green evolution where agricultur­al output has increased with the use of modern mechanism helping to meet the demand of food.

Thirdly, the most vital of all digital evolution which directly refers to changes bought by computers, informatio­n processing and communicat­ion which really helps people in emergencie­s and enables global interactio­n making the world a smaller place. However, these changes are also housed with numerous disadvanta­ges such as pollution, damages to the natural environmen­t and vulnerabil­ity to the precious traditions, customs and beliefs, but balancing the life is the best solution to lead an undisturbe­d life in this era.

Finally, progress is mandatory and no one could restrict changes and transforma­tion of this material world and everyone has to flow towards the leading direction in order to not be left behind.
