Pacific Island nations have successfully secured over $200 million in pledges for climate resilience through the Pacific Resilience Facility (PRF) at the COP31 Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Türkiye. The pledges, announced by countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, the Republic of Korea, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, aim to support community-centred adaptation and resilience initiatives across Pacific Island countries.
The Pacific Resilience Facility, established by Pacific leaders, is the first Pacific-led, owned, and managed fund dedicated to financing these initiatives. Pacific nations are not only experiencing the impacts of climate change but are also providing leadership through their indigenous knowledge and locally developed solutions.
The international community is urged to respond by building resilience at the necessary scale and speed, supported by accessible climate finance and practical action.
