About this session

Discover how Pacific countries are turning climate finance into practical, country-led adaptation. This dynamic session brings together leaders, government officials, climate finance practitioners and project beneficiaries from Nauru, Tonga and Fiji, alongside SPC’s Climate Innovation Co and the Adaptation Fund. Through four real-world stories, speakers will share what works, where gaps remain and how flexible investment can support locally led solutions, stronger national systems and lasting resilience. Join the discussion and hear directly from the Pacific voices shaping the future of adaptation finance.
