At #54PIFLM, PICAN was grateful to meet with the representatives of the Republic of the Marshall Islands Govt. We look forward to supporting RMI’s priorities, especially in the science-policy space, to uplift frontline Pacific voices in global climate action. #PICANat54PIFLM

Important directions for our region will be set in Honiara this week at #54PIFLM and civil society is here to ensure Pacific people shape the outcome. Next week, the PRNGO Alliance is continuing its commitment to contribute meaningfully to regional governance and cooperation.

Preparations are underway for the #54PIFLM taking place next week here in the Hapi Isles 🇸🇧. We are kindly being hosted by the Solomon Islands Climate Action Network-SICAN team and partnering with them to deliver a number of events throughout the week. Mifala luk fowod fo niu week kakam ya

234 industry lobbyists are in Geneva for INC 5.2! And this is likely to be a highly conservative number. What we’re seeing across the plastics, biodiversity, climate and science spaces is a widespread fossil capture of multilateralism.

Sadly the same tactics used by blocker countries in the climate space is being employed here at #INC52. These countries thrive in the grey area so we must continue to remind them of the mandate handed down by the UNEA 5/14 resolution! FULL LIFECYCLE OF PLASTICS!

Is Shell’s PR team now running COP30’s media?!!! 🤯 How can climate justice win when fossil fuel enablers hold the mic? Climate justice must not be allowed to be co-opted by the very industry behind our destruction!

A Shell-linked PR firm just won the COP30 media contract 🤯🤮 For Pacific Island peoples already facing the frontlines of climate collapse, this is a slap in the face. Climate justice cannot be co-opted by the very industry behind our destruction. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/07/30/p...

We draw the line at 1.5°C. For survival. For justice. For our islands. The ICJ has affirmed the legal obligation of governments to limit global warming to below 1.5°C. 🎉 Shoutout to @PISFCC + allies making history. Sept 19–21: We mobilize. #DrawTheLine drawtheline.world

Last week the world watched the #ClimateICJAO. The Pacific Youth that took the issue to the ICJ went from anxious to proud as the judges delivered real climate justice. Sera Sefeti’s report captures every moment ➡️ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Today, the ICJ has confirmed what Pacific peoples have carried in story and struggle for generations. States and corporations have binding obligations to cut emissions, protect human rights guided by the principle of intergenerational equity, and repair the harm already done. More ➡️ bit.ly/4lIYYWN

Tomorrow the ICJ delivers its climate Advisory Opinion, but our truths are already on record! Captured so beautifully by #pisfcc sharing frontline testimonies of culture, loss, resistance and hope. A great reminder of what is at stake tomorrow! bit.ly/3GVJ5NA More: witnessstand.live

This #InternationalWomensDay, Rev. James Bhagwan 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.

This #InternationalWomensDay, Mili Veiogo reminds us that women in the Pacific are not just caregivers—they are protectors, leaders, and driving forces in their communities. In times of crisis, they step up to ensure the safety and well-being of families and children.

As leaders, caregivers, & knowledge holders, women are at the heart of climate resilience. When disasters strike, they’re the ones holding families and communities together. Their voices, leadership, and traditional wisdom are essential in the fight for climate justice. #IWD2025

The growing opposition to #DeepSeaMining in the Pacific reinforces the need for a moratorium. As Pacific voices call to protect the ocean and their way of life, industry and some governments attempt to push ahead with this reckless industry. #DefendTheDeep @canpacificislands.bsky.social

The Pacific faces the brunt of the climate crisis! It's crucial that we elect leaders who are committed to taking bold climate action to protect our future. Join us in advocating for renewable energy and sustainable solutions. Sign the petition today: act.350.org/sign/our-paw...

The world is moving towards renewable energy. ☀️ So why are some Canadian politicians now racing in the opposite direction, and pushing for the expansion of risky & costly fossil fuels?

A great moment for the Climate Action Network to engage with the newly appointed #COP30 President Amb. Do Lago, COP Exec. Director Ana Toni and Liliam Moura (Brazil MFA) to discuss the road to Belém. The CAN network has convened in Rio de Janeiro to develop its new 5-year strategy.

Disheartening news for the Pacific Trump’s climate retreat & aid freeze endanger lives on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis. The Paris Agreement is about survival, not politics. We will continue to lead with resilience, but the US must do better. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Pacific leaders are raising concerns about the direct impact of Trump's climate policies and aid freeze on their region. They emphasize the urgent need for global cooperation to address climate change and its effects on vulnerable island nations.
