Our Pacific Islands have demonstrated global leadership on many fronts as we have worked collectively under One Pacific Voice to amplify to, and engage with, the global community to address this triple planetary crisis.
On the regional and national level, our Pacific Islands continue to take action and seek solutions with the support of our partners.
At all levels, our Pacific Islands are working to address the problems we face from these issues.
