Backing Pacific leadership on climate change.
In the lead up to COP, the world will be coming to the Pacific. With Fiji hosting pre-COP meetings and Tuvalu hosting a special leaders’ event. Together, they’ll underscore the lived experiences of climate change - and amplify the climate leadership of Pacific nations.
