Climate Finance
Right money, right time - Fixing the timing gap in Pacific climate finance
About this session
Right Money. Right Time. What if climate finance were judged not only by how much is available, but by when it arrives? Follow the money across the disaster cycle—from preparedness and the critical first 72 hours to recovery and long-term resilience. Hear directly from Pacific countries about what works, where financing gaps emerge, and what needs to change. Together, participants will explore how pre-arranged finance and other instruments can be better layered and sequenced and shape practical Pacific-led messages for COP31.
