Globally, women & girls spend 250m hours a day collecting water Australia’s Water for Women program reached 4.4m people across the Indo-Pacific, providing safe, reliable water - putting women at the centre of planning & decisions Where water flows equality grows #WorldWaterDay

#COP31 and the Pacific Pre-COP are key moments for partners to pledge contributions for the Pacific Resilience Facility Joined PRF General Manager Finau Soqo and Embassies in Canberra to discuss mobilising support and delivering impactful climate projects for Pacific communities

Australia has welcomed the Pacific Islands Forum announcement of pre-COP in Fiji🇫🇯 with a leaders component in Tuvalu🇹🇻 An unprecedented opportunity to bring the world to see climate impacts and solutions in the Pacific Joint ministerial media release ⬇️ foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny…

In the lead up to COP, the world will be coming to the Pacific. With Fiji hosting pre-COP meetings and Tuvalu hosting a special leaders’ event. Together, they’ll underscore the lived experiences of climate change - and amplify the climate leadership of Pacific nations.

Vanuatu is a global climate leader Had the opportunity this week to hear more about climate impacts & Vanuatu’s responses. And see how we’re partnering on climate resilient infra & renewables Also to talk about how we amplify Pacific voices & solutions on the world stage #COP31

President Heine is a trailblazing Pacific leader – exemplifying the importance and impact of women in leadership in the Pacific. This week I welcomed her to Australia to discuss how we continue to advance our relationship and shared priorities.

The Pacific Islands Forum is key to realising the vision of Pacific leaders for a peace, stable and prosperous region. It was a pleasure to welcome leaders from Solomon Islands, Tonga and Palau, and the PIF Secretary General to Brisbane today for their meeting of the PIF Troika.

Australia is supporting Solomon Islands to respond to the challenges of climate change 🇸🇧 🤝🇦🇺 🎬 Check out this video to learn more about our new flagship initiative to Strengthen Inclusive Adaptation Capacity in Solomon Islands #SIAusPartnership

Did you know CO2 emissions can be locked away in concrete? 🪨 ♻️ Hear it from our Canberran local Marcus, who was at #COP30noBrasil showing the world how @MCiCarbon’s innovation turns CO2 emissions into valuable products.

Today, @AusGov released the fourth Annual Climate Change Statement. It is a summary of our climate action in 2025 and progress towards our targets. 2025 has been a landmark year for climate action in Australia. 🌏 Read more in comments ⬇️

We’re working to elevate Pacific voices on climate change. Climate leaders spoke with power and clarity on a panel at #COP30noBrasil, including on the importance of the Pacific Resilience Facility (PRF). Thanks 🇦🇺Minister Bowen, 🇹🇻 @mainatalia1 🇲🇭@EnvoyRmi & PRF GM @FinauSoqo.

Fiji’s future is bright 💡 @REnewPacific supports local communities to access clean and reliable renewable energy. The Fiji Rural Electrification Fund (FREF) is a great example that we are profiling to the world at #COP30noBrasil with the Fiji Gov 🇫🇯 and @UNDP.

Today is children and youth day at #COP30noBrasil. Hear it from our very own Satara Uthayakumaran, Australia’s Youth Delegate to the UN, on her priorities here in Belem.

Gender equality isn’t optional for effective climate action. Women’s voices are critical to the success of local programs, national decision making and international action. We’re wearing pink at #COP30noBrasil today to show support for #GenderEquality.

Climate change and trade are interlinked, with trade accounting for about 1/4 of global emissions. So we need to talk about how we turn trade into a net positive for climate action. That’s what we did today at #COP30noBrasil, amplifying Pacific voices on the world stage.

The Pacific Resilience Facility is more than a fund It is a Pacific-led, owned and managed visionary investment model and a compelling alternative for climate finance via community grants not debt Important discussion at #COP30noBrasil on reaching the $500m capitalisation goal

Australia’s here at #COP30noBrasil We are backing Pacific climate leadership on the global stage, promoting the economic benefits of the energy transition and working to keep global momentum on emission reduction going. Come over to our Pavilion for a flat white!

Australia has a great story to tell on energy transition. So it was excellent to host a team of international journalists to see it first hand. They visited projects on green metals, hydrogen & solar and had useful discussions with the Climate Change Authority & many others.
