Australia-Pacific Partnership for COP31

Partnering to deliver COP31 and the Pacific Pre-COP

Pre-COP

Fiji, Tuvalu and Australia are partnering to deliver the official Pre-COP ministerial meeting in Fiji and Leaders’ event in Fiji and Tuvalu.

COP31

Australia is the President of Negotiations for COP31. Together with COP31 President, Türkiye, we are working to deliver practical, real-world outcomes at the global climate summit in Antalya, Türkiye.

COP31 Pacific Partnership

The COP31 Pacific Partnership is advancing a practical agenda that reflects the priorities of Pacific countries and places Pacific voices and solutions at the centre of global climate action.

“Hosting Pre-COP in Fiji, with a special visit to Tuvalu will amplify the Pacific's voice on the world stage. Working with the Pacific, together we can deliver a Pre-COP that doesn't just focus on the existential challenges our region faces but secure investment in the world-leading solutions we know are working here.”

Hon. Chris Bowen

President of Negotiations for COP31

Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Australian Government

“Exceeding the 1.5°C limit is a moral failure that condemns frontline nations like Fiji to an unthinkable future. As we host Pre-COP, we carry the weight of those who have no voice left, reminding the world that every fraction of a degree translates into lost homes, lost cultures, and lost lives. To protect the Paris Agreement is to defend our shared humanity, and we will not rest until ambition, not apathy, writes the final chapter of our climate story.”

Hon. Lynda Tabuya

Minister for Information, Environment, and Climate Change, Government of Fiji

“The Leaders’ event in Tuvalu will be a high-level political moment from the front lines of the fight against climate change, and its outcomes will directly drive the ambition and commitment for the COP31.”

Hon. Dr. Maina Vakafua Talia

Minister for Home Affairs, Climate Change and Environment, Government of Tuvalu
