Pacific Islands Climate Collaborative

The objective of the Pacific Islands Climate Collaborative is to promote collaboration between the US, Japan and partners in Pacific Island Countries (PICs) by coordinating, planning and executing clean energy and climate adaptation/resilience projects. Target Pacific Island Countries include Fiji, Tonga, Palau, and Federated States of Micronesia.

Pacific Islands Climate Collaborative – 2023 Forum

Date: March 8, 2023
Time: 1:00 – 4:00 pm HST

The first Forum was held in March 2022 to engage stakeholders in meaningful, action-oriented conversations that would result in networking and collaboration toward the development of joint clean energy and climate adaptation/resilience projects in the PICs.

Building on this foundation, the 2023 Forum will facilitate previous and new participants in engaging with one another towards working on joint projects. The forum starts by sharing information on recent clean energy and climate adaptation projects in PICs that are funded by Japanese and US governmental agencies and others.  Then, it will host performers who have developed projects in PICs to share insights on opportunities and challenges for multilateral collaboration. Finally, it will hone-in on near-future opportunities for international collaboration in the PICs.
