Weaving Gender & Health in Pacific Climate Action
About this session
Join us for a pivotal side event at the Pre-COP 31 in Nadi, Fiji, on October 7, 2026. This side event, "Weaving Gender & Health in Pacific Climate Action," is a forward-looking session dedicated to interweaving Gender and Health Action Plans into Pacific climate strategies. We will explore the climate-health-gender nexus, translating historic COP30 commitments into localized, actionable pathways. Engage with regional leaders, climate negotiators, and civil society as we unveil the Pacific Climate-Health-Gender Implementation and Financing Roadmap. Let us highlight the need for global action toward human-centered adaptation in the Pacific. Don't miss this opportunity to help shape the future of climate justice in the Pacific.
