It was a pleasure to meet #ESCAP Executive Secretary, UN Under-Secretary General Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, at # CS80 this week to discuss Pacific priorities and updates on #Pacific2050 implementation.

Thank you United Nations ESCAP Armida Alisjahbana for your commitment to 2050 collaboration.

It's great to feel the sense of excitement building in #Samoa as it prepares to create Pacific history this October and welcome Commonwealth leaders to Apia for #CHOGM2024 .

Welcomed the opportunity to update PM, Afioga Fiame Naomi Mata'afa on the #Pacific2050 journey.

Happy #CommonwealthDay2024 to our Pacific members!

Within the Pacific Islands Forum and Commonwealth, our Leaders continue to seek resilience and prosperity -- the ‘One Resilient Common Future: Transforming our Common Wealth’ theme definitely resonates as #Samoa hosts #CHOGM this October.

Vinaka to the women who serve the region from our Secretariat, our global offices, and across the #CROP family.

We know there's much to be done.

Today and every day, your work brings us a step closer to a #Pacific2050 , where we leave no one behind.

Thank you.

#IWD2024

Our hearts and prayers go to the people of Papua New Guinea at this time.

There are no words to capture the magnitude of grief and terror for this tragic and horrific loss.

A sobering moment for our Blue Pacific continent.

Unlocking economic and investment potential to achieve growth across our #BluePacificContinent is a key part of the work led by our #PacificTradeInvest teams - an informative catchup with the PTI board and leaders at their virtual meet today.

Started the week with a welcome to Virginia Dawson, our new PIF Director Policy. Hailing from NZ, Director Dawson joins our senior management team, supporting strategic leadership and focus across key areas of #security , #gender , social policy in #Pacific2050 implementation.

Our Pacific regional organisations are the engine room for effective coordination and partnerships for our #Pacific2050 implementation Plan.

Also welcomed the new CEO for Pacific Aviation Safety Office, Silimanai Ueta Solomona, to the 58th session - our first for the year.

Even the birds of Nasonini chimed in for our first flag day celebs of the year - Happy #Australia Day team #Australia !

“ #ClimateChange is the most pressing, genuinely global threat”, stressed #IPCC Chair Jim Skea at the today's opening of the 60th Session of IPCC in Istanbul.

“There is not a moment to spare. Options to address climate change available to us today will not be there tomorrow.”

This evening from Suva I am sending an ocean of #1pt5 solidarity, mana and hope to our climate champions holding the line for our #oneBluePacific and our #OneBluePlanet . We see you, we thank you.
#COP28 you must deliver.

The world is watching.
We cannot delay #climatejustice

AOSIS is gearing up for a battle. We will be sticking to our guns on our long-held positions on climate change and the deadly consequences that it has brought to our islands. At this hour, our negotiators are locked in discussions as the remaining hours of #COP28 will be crucial.

Great to reconnect with United Nations ESCAP Executive Secretary Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana in the walkways of COP28 UAE - looking forward to more #Pacific2050 partnerships in 2024!

Who can forget the standout statement made to leaders at #COP26 in Glasgow on the power of words?

Great to meet climate champion for Pacific Youth Ms Brianna Fruean here at #COP28

The urgency of #1pt5 to stay alive is clear.

2023 must deliver what Paris agreed in 2015!

“In times of crisis, cooperation and hope prevail.”

Words said this week in Dubai by #FSM Secretary for Environment, Climate Change, Andrew Yatilman.

An honour to meet in the walkways of #COP28 with those who bring the mana of the #PacificWay to these talks.

#1pt5

How do you bring the Ocean into the #Cop28     room?

Bring the Ocean people.

And a little bit extra.

Looking forward to hearing our #Pacific #RenewableEnergy approaches from #Palau #Samoa and others at the IRENA #SIDSLighthouses event for #Energy day at #COP28 - supporting a just transition away from Fossil fuels to a #NetZero future!

Today COP28 UAE deepens awareness of #diversity and #inclusion with a #genderday agenda, challenging us to understand, decide, and push for outcomes that truly benefit all.

I honour that inclusion and diversity.

A #1.5future is closer with #genderequality . Pacific Islands Forum

An honour at #COP28 to meet Amy Pope, the first woman to lead the International Organization for Migration.

There is little doubt social, economic and cultural impacts of #Climatemigration and #labourmobility will also define our #Pacific2050 future.
