The officials will meet in Majuro, the capital of the Marshalls, a nation where islands are among the most vulnerable to rising sea levels.
More than a dozen Pacific island countries will be plotting their strategy for December's United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, which will attempt to reach an international deal to combat tackle climate change.
