🧵1/3 :“We are people of the ocean, not the people above it, not the people profiting from it. The people of it. Salt in our blood, stories in our currents, ancestors in our ties, futures in our waters. We the people of the ocean, know what is at stake.” #SOTPOC2026 #Pacific

The Pacific Ocean is carrying the weight of a changing climate, growing militarisation, & new pressures on our sovereignty. This week, Pacific peoples are coming together to take stock, share solutions, & strengthen collective action for the future of our ocean & communities.

📣 Today, States are set to adopt a key UN resolution to welcome & operationalize the @CIJ_ICJ climate ruling. Will governments still stand for international law & #VoteYESForClimateJustice? 👀 We are watching [tune in at 6 pm CEST]: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1u/k1… A 🧵

One of the most important climate rulings in history began with students. Pacific Island youth asked: If #climatechange threatens entire nations, what does international law require governments to do? The #UNGA brought that question to the International Court of Justice.

Should @WHO formally declare the #ClimateCrisis a public health emergency of international concern? The independent Pan-European Commission on Climate and Health – convened by @WHO_Europe – concludes that the evidence for doing so is abundantly clear. From the international spread of vector-borne diseases to the health impacts of extreme weather events, global heating, food insecurity and air pollution – the Commission’s report, timed with the World Health Assembly, doesn’t mince words. The 11 Commissioners, including former health and climate ministers, warn: “Far from being a fading priority or fake news, climate change poses an immediate and long-term threat to health, economic, food, water, environmental, personal, community and national security.” The work of the PECCH resonates strongly with us in the Western Pacific, because many of these realities are already our daily experience. For us, climate change is not a distant threat. It is already affecting health, livelihoods and security. From small island states facing rising seas, to cities exposed to heatwaves, flooding and typhoons, and communities burdened by air pollution and climate-sensitive diseases—we see the impacts every day. That's why we at @WHOWPRO are advancing @TheLancet Commission on Sea Level Rise, Health and Justice - to strengthen evidence, inform policy and place equity at the centre of action. Pacific island countries have long sounded the alarm. Their call to recognize climate change as a health emergency reflects decades of lived experience.  And we fully support elevating climate change within national and global security agendas. We must act together - through whole-of-government and whole-of-society responses, with health at the centre. My sincere appreciation to the PECCH Chair – the former Prime Minister of Iceland, Katrín Jakobsdóttir; to my brother, WHO/Europe Regional Director Dr @hans_kluge and Robb Butler, his Special Representative for Climate and Health; and to all Commissioners for their leadership and commitment in advancing this vital agenda. 🙏

The Pacific is not drowning. The Pacific is being sacrificed…
