For small island states, \u201cthe collapse of habitability has already begun\u201d, stated<\/a> a recent UN report on climate change. Storm surges are pushing further inland, farmland is turning salty and coral reefs are being lost, it warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially true of the Pacific, where islanders have sometimes had to rely on stunts, such as holding press conferences knee-deep in seawater, to get the world\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this year, the UN\u2019s so-called Pre-COP \u2013 typically a rather dry technical meeting that precedes the main climate conference \u2013 was turned into a special event to bring attention to the region\u2019s plight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summit<\/a> in Fiji earlier this month was attended by around 4,000 people including national leaders, government officials, Indigenous communities, and scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A delegation visited Tuvalu\u2019s Funafuti atoll to witness how coastal defences are having to be strengthened to cope<\/a> with rising sea levels and intensifying storms caused by climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaders of 14 governments, mostly from the Pacific island states but also Australia, Timor-Leste and Mauritius, attended. The European Union\u2019s climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra, and the heads of the Green Climate Fund and the Asian Development Bank were also there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media commented<\/a> on the lack of national leaders from beyond the Pacific, but Pacific leaders have hit back, defending the significance of those who did attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI read recently that all the big names were missing so let\u2019s talk about size for a moment,\u201d Pacific Islands Forum chair and Palau president, Surangel Whipps Jr, told<\/a> an event in Australia. \u201cPacific states are custodians of nearly 20% of our Earth\u2019s surface … an area larger than Russia, China, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Australia, and India combined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shamini Selvaratnam, director of international climate and clean energy at the Ocean Conservancy NGO, tells Dialogue Earth: \u201cThe story of this Pre-COP, who was or wasn\u2019t in the room, it\u2019s about whose voices were finally much closer to the centre of the room \u2013 these are voices we don\u2019t get to hear often in other spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mood was a sense of \u201curgency and determination\u201d with visitors faced with the reality of the region\u2019s need to cope with climate change, particularly sea-level rise, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacific priorities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fiji and the Pacific went into the Pre-COP pushing to keep the 1.5C temperature-rise threshold alive, reform access to climate finance, and get ocean governance onto the official state-led UN negotiating process at the main COP31 meeting in Turk\u00efye in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent UN report warning of a \u201ccollapse of habitability\u201d suggests that global temperature rise will reach at least 1.8C under even the most optimistic future. Selvaratnam says that Pacific countries were very clear in Fiji that the 1.5C goal remains a \u201csurvival threshold, not an abstract negotiating number\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finance to help the islands adapt was a key discussion. The emphasis was as much about getting existing finance to communities faster as about increasing the overall amount available, according to Selvaratnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The islands have their own ambitions for renewable energy but have complained<\/a> of a lack of predictable and accessible financing to scale access to energy and maritime transport. Leaders also say bureaucracy and other barriers mean they receive funds too slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey hand us a tiny patch to cover a gaping hole. The bureaucratic process just to receive that patch is so slow that the water fills the hole while we wait. Then to rebuild the vessel so that we can survive the next storm, we are offered loans, debt that adds weight to a sinking boat packaged in red tape so thick we can barely access it,\u201d Whipps Jr told<\/a> the summit, according to Climate Home News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pacific Islands Forum, which represents 18 nations and territories, has set up its own fund. Named the Pacific Resilience Facility, it is seeking USD 500 million in investments. At the Pre-COP, Fiji pledged<\/a> USD 10 million to it, taking its total to around USD 190 million. While the government<\/a>s of Denmark and the Netherlands announced USD 2.3 million and USD 1 million respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese commitments are welcome and demonstrate growing support for Pacific-led solutions, but fell far short of needs,\u201d says Rufino Varea, director of the Pacific Islands Climate Action Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress is also being made in the movement to raise the status of ocean issues within UN climate negotiations, say observers. During the Pre-COP, the Friends of the Ocean and Climate coalition delivered a joint letter<\/a> signed by 105 nations to the Australian and Turkish presidencies of COP31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said that they should integrate ocean issues and ocean-based solutions into all aspects of the UN climate process. \u201cThe ocean should be understood not as a discrete sector or special interest, but as integral to delivering climate, economic, and resilience objectives,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Fiji, the ocean was inherent to all discussions, Selvaratnam says. \u201cIn the Pacific, the ocean isn\u2019t just a chapter of a climate agenda \u2013 it is the climate agenda. The Pre-COP elevated those priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main outcome of the Pre-COP was the Taku Pakasoa Declaration, a political statement whose title means \u201cstrength in unity\u201d in Tuvaluan. The document reiterated<\/a> the priorities of the Pacific, including the need for finance and the centrality of the ocean in fixing climate problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHosting these discussions on our shores allowed our communities to shape the conversation on our own terms, amplifying Pacific voices and leadership at every level \u2013 from political leaders and civil society to faith-based organisations, traditional leaders, and grassroots communities,\u201d says Varea. \u201cThere was a real sense of collective purpose, grounded in the understanding that our region has much to contribute to the world\u2019s response to this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real test is whether political momentum on the issues raised in Fiji will lead to better negotiating outcomes in Turk\u00efye, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selvaratnam agrees: \u201cVisibility is valuable, but the Pacific has had visibility before. Bringing the world to the Pacific mattered, but [what] will really matter is if these priorities travel back to COP31.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
