Pacific Knowledge, Pacific Futures: Emerging Pacific Research Shaping Climate Policy and Negotiations

This side event is a collaboration by the University of the South Pacific and the University of Bergen, Norway through the Norway-Pacific Ocean-Climate (N-POC) Scholarship Programme. It brings together emerging Pacific researchers to explore how Pacific-led knowledge is shaping climate action and informing discussions ahead of COP31. The session will feature five Pacific PhD scholars sharing research on ocean health, food and nutritional security, cultural resilience, climate-resilient forestry, and climate-related mobility.
