Pacific Islands Climate Action Network (PICAN) welcomes the historic UN General Assembly resolution advancing climate accountability following the International Court of Justice’s landmark climate advisory opinion. The resolution strengthens global recognition that states have legal obligations to address climate harm and protect present and future generations, marking a major victory for Pacific leadership, climate justice, and international accountability.

From lived experience to global leadership, Pacific civil society outlines a justice-driven vision for a fossil fuel transition rooted in sovereignty, community, and accountability.

PICAN responds to the Pacific Islands Forum announcement that Fiji will host the COP31 Pre COP, with a Leaders component in Tuvalu. While welcoming the decision, PICAN calls for clarity on the Pacific’s role in shaping the agenda and outcomes under the Australia and Türkiye co presidency, and urges that the convening deliver concrete progress on the 1.5C limit, climate justice, and red lines long championed by frontline nations.
