Japan’s PM speaks of “kizuna” and a “circle of friendship” with the #Pacific, yet they continue a 30-year plan of dumping nuclear wastewater into our #BluePacific. Is this true friendship? Real friends don’t dump rubbish in each other’s homes‼️ #PALM10Kizuna

We’re excited to be in Tonga next week for the #PIFLM53 and speaking all things Pacific alongside 350 Pacific and Minister Maina Talia. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Pacific Islands Climate Action Network (PICAN) & the Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) estimate an NCQG financing of ~6 trillion. Of the total climate finance dedicated globally, & 40% given to Asia-Pacific, less than 5% of that enters the Pacific. We need to do better for vulnerable regions. We demand equitable Climate Financing.

Ouaaaa 🇹🇴 While leaders prepare for #PIFLM53, we joined 200 Tongan youth in visioning what the theme of “Build Better Now” could mean for our islands. And what is a resilient Pasifiki without a safe livable climate and some good old island dance-offs?

Our Pacific leaders have gathered in Nuku’alofa, Tonga this week for the #PIFLM53. This week will see a range of critical conversations about our Blue Pacific Continent take place, framed around the theme “Transformative Resilient Pasifiki: Build Better Now”. Updates to follow.

ED @ilolahia_es says Pacific Peoples Forum will be a platform for sharing our rich cultural heritage and unique experiences, promoting learning & understanding across the region.Our basket filled with wisdom and knowledge to foster collaboration & progress of #people-centered.

As #PIFLM53 winds down, we’re looking to global climate fora as we join a press conference by Edmund Rice Centre on COP30 and COP31 solidarity between the Pacific and Australia CSOs.

Follow the money! A fantastic side event this morning in Tonga 🇹🇴 hosted by PIANGO Pacific 2030 looking at public finance and #accountability across the Pacific + the launch of Tonga’s Citizen Budget Guide. This work supported by our great friend EU Pacific 🇪🇺 🇪🇺.

"The question is; Has the message been delivered? Yes. Has it been heard? Yes. But does #Australia have the political will and the moral capacity to desist from doing what is detrimental to the future survival of #Pacific people?" Anote Tong , PEV, Chair.

Fiji has taken its seat as Chair, & PYC as Co-Chair, as we collectively work to progress & realize the Pacific Youth Development Framework (PYDF), & our vision for 2050 & beyond. Youth should be given a seat at the table & allowed to take ownership over the future they deserve.

PICAN looks forward to supporting Pacific Youth Council📣 in the development of the Pacific Youth Development Framework in the coming months. We hope to strengthen the #climatejustice lens to secure the safety and dignity of current & future generations as we face the triple planetary crisis.
