This #InternationalWomensDay, Rev. James Bhagwan of Pacific Conference of Churches reminds us that women in the Pacific are not just impacted by climate change—they are leading the response. From communities to governments, their voices and leadership must be at the centre of climate action.


#OceanOfPeace Declaration is an opportunity for the Pacific Islands Forum’s members to articulate a regional architecture for #sustainingpeace and #prevention. We congratulate Permanent Mission of Tonga to the United Nations and Pacific Women Mediators Network for their commitment to move from reaction to prevention in an inclusive way!


#MarchInReview — We joined The George Institute for Global Health alongside community leaders, academics and policymakers to spotlight the urgent health impacts of climate change on Pacific women and girls—from maternal health risks to heightened vulnerability during disasters.
