Summary
Building on previous the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) engagements on peacebuilding in the Pacific, and following a screening of Sea of Islands, the meeting will analyse the implications of climate change for peacebuilding and sustaining peace in the Pacific. It will focus on national and regional efforts that require further support to address critical gaps and mitigate the risks that climate change poses to stability and human security in the region.
