Fifteen Pacific journalists will report from the 31st UN climate conference, COP31, in Antalya, Turkey, from 9 to 20 November. The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) is supporting them, and the group represents Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Palau, Samoa, Niue, Fiji and New Zealand.
SPREP says the decisions made in Antalya will shape the money, rules and emission cuts that determine how safe Pacific communities are, so island audiences need reporting on them. The Pacific arrives with two declarations, three envoys and a new regional fund. The Belau Declaration calls climate change the single greatest threat to Pacific peoples.
The Pacific's three priorities are keeping the 1.5°C goal within reach, getting finance to the people who need it, and recognising the importance of the ocean. A special COP31 session will also provide a platform for pledges to the Pacific Resilience Facility.
Key points
- 15 Pacific journalists will report from COP31, 9 to 20 November
- SPREP supports the journalists; PNG is among the represented countries
- Pacific focus: the 1.5°C goal, climate finance and ocean recognition
Why it matters for PNG: Decisions at COP31 shape how safe Pacific communities are, and PNG has journalists reporting on them.
