As COP31 gets underway in Antalya, Türkiye, Pacific resilience remains an important part of our climate story. But there are limits to what communities can adapt to, particularly as the impacts of climate change become more severe.
For decades, Pacific countries have called for stronger global climate action. Scientific evidence continues to reveal the scale of the risks ahead, while Pacific leadership has helped shape international agreements and landmark developments in climate law.
Yet significant challenges remain. From keeping global warming within 1.5°C to accessing the finance needed for adaptation, the gap between international commitments and what Pacific countries are experiencing remains considerable.
The Taku Pakasoa Declaration brings the region’s priorities to COP31, building on the progress already made and identifying where greater international cooperation and action are needed.
Swipe through to explore the science, the commitments and what’s at stake for the Pacific.

The UNFCCC COP31 is officially underway in Antalya, with Pacific delegates gathering yesterday for the opening of the Moana Blue Pacific Pavilion.
Managed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (@sprep_proe ), with support from the Governments of Australia and New Zealand, the pavilion will host two weeks of Pacific-led events, talanoa and exhibitions. It brings together leaders, scientists, youth and communities to share experiences, present solutions and draw attention to the region’s priorities throughout COP31.
Over the next fortnight, countries will negotiate how to turn climate commitments into action, including cutting emissions and financing responses to climate impacts. For Pacific countries, this means pressing for action that keeps 1.5°C within reach, makes climate finance easier to access and recognises the ocean’s role in addressing climate change.
SPC is supporting member countries with scientific and technical expertise to inform these negotiations, helping ensure decisions reflect the evidence and the needs of Pacific communities.

Wild Pacific Media is immensely proud to share the trailer for PACIFIC RISING, a 75-minute cinematic journey into the heart of the Blue Pacific Continent.
Narrated by Catherine Laga‘aia, star of the live-action Moana, the film brings together extraordinary beauty, urgent challenges and the power of community, culture and place.
Through Pacific voices, the film reveals how communities are drawing on ancestral knowledge, science and local ingenuity to confront a changing climate and shape their own futures.
It has been an honour and a privilege to make this film alongside people who care deeply about the Pacific and its future. We hope you find it illuminating, inspiring and a reminder of what is possible when people come together.
What happens to the Pacific happens to us all.
Watch the trailer now - the full documentary launches at COP31, 12 & 17 November. Website link in bio.

COP31 begins today in Antalya, Türkiye. Pacific leaders and delegations are bringing four priorities to the global climate discussions: keeping 1.5°C within reach, improving access to climate finance, elevating the ocean–climate nexus, and amplifying Pacific voices and leadership.
The 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), COP31, is taking place from 9–20 November 2026 in Antalya, Türkiye.
Pacific leaders and their delegations are advocating for the survival and wellbeing of Pacific communities, which continue to be at the forefront of climate change impacts.
Support for Pacific Island countries and territories at COP31 is coordinated through the One CROP mechanism, led by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) with the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA), Office of the Pacific Ocean Commissioner (OPOC), University of the South Pacific (USP) and Pacific Community (SPC).

With five days until COP31, Pacific countries are preparing to press for decisions that respond to the climate impacts already affecting their communities. Here are five things to know to help follow the talks and understand what’s at stake for the region.
At COP, countries negotiate how to respond to climate change, informed by the science assessed by the IPCC. National climate plans, known as NDCs, set out each country’s commitments, while climate finance helps provide the resources to act. Loss and damage addresses the harm climate change causes despite efforts to prevent it, and the support affected communities need.
These discussions connect directly to Pacific calls to keep 1.5°C within reach, improve access to finance and put the ocean at the centre of climate action, with Pacific voices shaping the decisions.
Swipe through to explore the five topics ahead of COP31.

Who gets a say in the future of our oceans? Too few women‼️
Women depend on the ocean for food and livelihoods, yet remain underrepresented in decisions about its future.
UN Women "Making Waves" report shows evidence of these differences. In countries with available data, an estimated 52% of women harvesting marine life rely on gathering shellfish and other species near shore, where ocean acidification, mangrove loss, and other factors threaten habitats...Men are also 1.6 times as likely as women to change harvesting locations when catches decline.
🗨️ Natalie Makhoul, Gender and Human Rights Specialist at SPC, who supported the report by sharing evidence on gender and fisheries in the Pacific, explains: "For Pacific women, climate change is not a future ocean risk. It is already affecting the nearshore fishing grounds and ecosystems they depend on, some of the most vulnerable spaces to climate change and pollution from land and sea. Yet women often have fewer options and resources to adapt. A just blue transition must invest in women's adaptive capacity, value traditional ecological knowledge, and put women's leadership at the centre of how coastal resources are managed."
For fisheries organisations, ministries and coastal communities, the report offers data-driven evidence for planning that considers women's needs and experiences.

🌏 Every child born with a cleft deserves timely care. 💙
A specialist Interplast team, supported by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) and SPC, joined Kiribati's Ministry of Health and Medical Services in assessing more than 50 patients at Tungaru Central Hospital. 🏥
Cleft lip and palate repairs made up most of the operating list, alongside hand, facial and lower-limb procedures. 🩺
The mission showed that surgery is only part of the answer. Children need to be identified at birth, registered, followed up over time and scheduled for surgery at the right age, so that feeding, hearing, speech and learning are not held back. 👶
A final-year Fiji National University (FNU) anaesthesia trainee from Kiribati gained valuable paediatric experience during the mission, strengthening the local workforce. 🇰🇮
The team's message is clear: future support should combine surgery, mentoring and systems strengthening, so that skills, systems, equipment and leadership grow together. 🤝 For more, see the link in bio.
The mission was funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). SPC thanks the Government of Kiribati, hospital staff and all partners for their collaboration.
