The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is creating space for young people across the region

The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is creating space for young people from across the region to better understand the systems that shape climate decisions and to contribute their perspectives ahead of Pre-COP31 and COP31. In these reflections, Sabina Moce (Fiji) and Douglas Willietien (Vanuatu) highlight why meaningful participation begins from the start of the decision-making process and why diverse community voices must be part of shaping climate solutions. The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is co-designed and co-led by the Pacific Youth Council and the UN in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu & Vanuatu in partnership with Pasifika Communities University and regional partners, strengthening Pacific youth engagement in regional and global climate discussions.

Once a forgotten coconut plantation, Ratua island on Vanuatu's Espiritu Santo, was bought and reimagined by a French philanthropist who didn’t want to build a resort. He wanted to create a sanctuary. He salvaged century-old wooden homes from Indonesia, transported them piece by piece, and rebuilt them as luxurious yet rustic villas beneath the banyan trees. No glass towers, no sprawling pool complexes. Just timber, thatch, and sea breeze... Plan your holiday to Vanuatu today... See more

The Pacific's Stake in Shaping AI's Future

Last week, governments from across the world gathered in Geneva for the first session of the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance, and a presentation of the inaugural report of the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI. It marked an important step towards building global rules for artificial intelligence. While unpacking what AI can do for the Pacific, let us also consider what the Pacific can contribute to the future of AI. Both questions are relevant and connected, especially from a human development progress perspective. The initial instinct, even anxiety, in small, remote economies could be to treat AI purely as a race from behind. And there is indeed need for that catch-up. So, the Kingdom of Tonga, for example, has moved through a national Digital Readiness Assessment, brought commercial 5G online, and is rebuilding its government services around a digital-first model, including AI tools designed to help citizens interact with the state in their own language. Similar Digital Readiness Assessments have also been undertaken across Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu, helping lay the foundations for AI adoption and digital transformation for the Pacific. This reflects strong national leadership and commitment across the government, with a willingness from the very top to jump into the race and speed up. Foundational groundwork like this gives countries like Tonga real standing to speak on this issue from experience rather than aspiration. That includes investing in the AI skills and digital capabilities of people, to make the best use of the new data and services AI can offer. However, framing the Pacific's AI challenge only as a catch-up exercise misses what the region is better placed to see than almost anywhere else. In Tonga, as across the Pacific, AI systems run into something they were not designed to encounter. Much of what local communities know about maritime navigation, weather, land and the ocean is oral, relational, and held collectively, passed down through practice and inter-generational responsibility rather than stored in a database. Some of it is sacred, and deliberately never written down. The Pasifika Futures Report argues that the real question is not whether Pacific countries adopt AI, but whether technology supports the futures Pacific people want for themselves, especially younger generations. Digital Tuvalu offers perhaps the clearest example: a nation on the frontline of climate change using digital technology to preserve its culture, heritage and identity for generations to come, while advancing Simon Kofe's vision of a future in which Tuvaluans can connect with one another, explore their ancestry and culture, and access new opportunities for business and commerce. This is not a barrier to AI adoption. It is an opportunity to shape how these technologies are designed and governed. Tonga is therefore well placed to bring this Pacific perspective to the future of AI, contributing views on identity, stewardship, culture and knowledge systems that remain largely absent from today's models and debates. This brings up a larger missing piece in the current AI sphere – experiential and non-written knowledge and decisions, as well as intergenerational accountability, should not be viewed as peripheral considerations. They are critical inputs that remain largely absent from global AI governance discussions today. Ask the AI frameworks and models how they would treat a body of knowledge whose custodians choose not to digitise it, and the answer is that they were not built with this in mind. Not yet. Tonga's own digital transformation gives it credibility to make this case precisely because it has not rushed. The Lagatoi Declaration, signed by Pacific ICT ministers in Port Moresby in 2023, set out a shared regional approach to digital transformation, infrastructure and governance long before AI dominated the conversation. Tonga's participation reflected a broader regional commitment: that a digitally connected Pacific should also be a secure and collaboratively governed one, built on shared standards rather than each nation solving the same problems alone. The architecture exists. What is now urgently needed is to deploy it. The Great Divergence that AI risks creating is not a distant concept. In March this year, Tonga hosted the Pacific launch of the report of that name, examining how the rapid acceleration of AI and digital technology is widening the gap between economies that build these systems and economies and societies that will simply live with the consequences. Yet AI is already delivering results across the Pacific, from satellite and AI-enabled fisheries monitoring in Kiribati, which has helped recover around US$2 million annually in illegal fishing fines, to AI-assisted health diagnostics in countries including Nauru and Vanuatu. Digital innovation is advancing in Palau too, alongside partnerships with the European Union and UNCDF that are expanding digital services and AI-enabled financial inclusion across the region. These are real wins, but they are wins within a system the Pacific did not design. The region already knows what it means to be on the wrong side of a divergence, in climate, in trade, in debt vulnerability. AI follows the same logic at greater speed. The difference is that the rules of AI are still being written, which means the divergence is not yet locked in. That window will not stay open for long. The time for the Pacific to shape the outcome is now, not once the frameworks are agreed and the tools are already being deployed. The Pacific has spent decades demonstrating what it means to decide collectively, account for future generations, and treat traditional knowledge as sacred rather than extractive. These are not liabilities in the age of AI. This is where a Pacific contribution can be pitched, while also driving for fairness in AI access and a gain in capabilities to even the odds in the AI race. Pacific representation in the forums shaping AI's future can and must emphasise the distinction this region brings to shape AI models and applications of the future. ----------- Kanni Wignaraja is UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific and Munkhtuya Altangerel is the Resident Representative of UNDP’s Pacific Office in Fiji.

Women Market Vendors Graduate from Saver Plus Initiative, Advancing Financial Inclusion in Solomon Islands

Honiara, Solomon Islands - Twenty-five women market vendors from Honiara are celebrating a significant milestone in their journey towards financial empowerment after successfully completing the Saver Plus Initiative—a matched savings programme implemented through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with ANZ Bank. The graduation ceremony, held at the Heritage Park Hotel, marked the culmination of a ten-month pilot programme that combined financial literacy with practical savings, equipping women market vendors with the knowledge, confidence, and financial tools to improve their livelihoods and strengthen their economic resilience. Participants committed to saving SBD180 every month over ten months. Upon completing the programme, ANZ matched each participant's savings, enabling the women to purchase productive assets and essential household items they had identified through ANZ's MoneyMinded financial literacy training. For many of the graduates, the programme has transformed not only their financial situation but also their mindset. "Before joining the programme, I saved only when I had money left over. Through the MoneyMinded training, I learned how to budget, set financial goals, and save consistently. Completing the programme has given me confidence that I can plan for my family's future and achieve the goals I once thought were out of reach," shared one participant. Ms Betty Isu, market vendor, Honiara Municipal Market The Saver Plus Initiative demonstrates the power of combining financial education with practical incentives to promote lasting behavioural change. Through regular saving, budgeting, and financial planning, participants have developed habits that will continue to benefit them well beyond the life of the programme. Speaking at the graduation ceremony, the UNDP Solomon Islands Inclusive Growth Team leader, Mr Solomon Kalu, congratulated the graduates and reaffirmed UNDP's commitment to women's economic empowerment. "Today's graduation is about much more than completing a savings programme. It is about empowering women with the confidence, knowledge, and opportunities to make informed financial decisions, strengthen their businesses, and invest in a more secure future. When women are economically empowered, families prosper, communities become more resilient, and nations grow stronger." Betty Isu. UNDP Grace PIko. UNDP Martha Ossie. UNDP Through the Markets for Change initiative, UNDP continues to work alongside governments, local authorities, development partners, and the private sector to create more inclusive economic opportunities for women, particularly those working in the informal economy. The programme also reflects the strength of UNDP's long-standing partnership with ANZ Bank, whose MoneyMinded financial literacy programme has helped thousands of people across the Pacific build financial capability. By introducing the Saver Plus Initiative in Solomon Islands, the partnership has taken an important step beyond financial education by enabling participants to translate their new knowledge into meaningful financial assets. Another graduate described the discipline required throughout the programme. "Saving SBD180 every month was not always easy, especially when there were many family expenses. But the training encouraged me to stay committed, and knowing that our savings would be matched motivated me to keep going. Today, I am proud that I can purchase the items I planned for without taking on debt." Ms Grace Piko, market vendor, Honiara Municipal Market The initiative highlights the important role of partnerships in advancing financial inclusion and achieving sustainable development outcomes. Working together, UNDP, ANZ Bank, and the Honiara City Council Division of Women have demonstrated how collaborative approaches can create tangible benefits for women market vendors and their families. Beyond individual success stories, the programme contributes to broader national development priorities by strengthening women's participation in the economy, promoting financial inclusion, and supporting more resilient households and communities. For another participant, the impact of the programme extends beyond her own family. "This programme has taught me that financial independence starts with small, consistent steps. I will continue saving even after today, and I want to share what I have learned with other women in my community so they can also improve their lives and build a better future for their families." Ms Martha Ossie, market vendor, Honiara Municipal Market As the graduates begin the next chapter of their financial journey, the Saver Plus Initiative stands as a powerful example of what can be achieved when women are equipped with the right knowledge, supported by strong partnerships, and given access to practical financial opportunities. UNDP remains committed to working with government, the private sector, and development partners to expand financial inclusion, strengthen women's economic empowerment, and ensure that no one is left behind. About Markets for Change (M4C) The Markets for Change (M4C) initiative supports women market vendors across Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Samoa by promoting inclusive market governance, strengthening women's leadership, improving livelihoods, and expanding access to economic opportunities. In Solomon Islands, M4C works closely with national and local partners to create safer, more inclusive, and economically empowering market environments that enable women to be empowered and contribute meaningfully to their family, and communities.

How Can Pacific Youth Influence Climate Decisions?

How can Pacific youth influence climate decisions? That question was at the heart of a fireside chat during the Pacific Youth Talanoa. Featuring Sally Higgins, COP31 Presidency Youth Climate Champion, alongside Dianne Parascos (Papua New Guinea) and Douglas Willietien (Vanuatu), participants explored how Pacific youth can engage in climate decision-making from national consultations and youth networks to the UNFCCC and COP processes. Young people raised important questions about climate-smart agriculture, food security, access to funding for youth-led climate initiatives, and how Pacific innovation, climate data and Indigenous knowledge can be better reflected in regional and global climate discussions. They also explored how climate action can be more inclusive, ensuring the perspectives of women, girls, persons with disabilities, Diverse SOGIESC communities and other underrepresented groups are meaningfully represented. The discussion reinforced that Pacific youth are already creating climate solutions in their communities. The next step is ensuring those experiences, ideas and innovations help shape the decisions that will define the region's future. The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is co-designed and co-led by the UN in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu & Vanuatu and the Pacific Youth Council in partnership with Pasifika Communities University and other regional organisations.

The Conversation Continues and Pacific Youth Are Ready to Shape What Comes Next

The conversation continues and Pacific youth are ready to shape what comes next. Today, participants in the Pacific Youth Talanoa Series are building the skills, knowledge and confidence to influence climate action, from understanding how decisions are made to helping shape the Pacific Youth Communiqué ahead of Pre-COP31 and COP31. Opening Talanoa 2 of the series, Martin Wandera, Director of the International Labour Organization for the Pacific Island Countries, challenged participants to move from being consulted to shaping outcomes, encouraging them to carry what they learn into the spaces where climate decisions are made. We were honoured to welcome Sally Higgins, COP31 Presidency Youth Climate Champion, who reminded participants that while global forums help set ambition, real climate action happens every day in Pacific communities. She encouraged young people to keep leading, innovating and sharing their lived experiences, while creating more opportunities for other youth voices to be heard. Fiji's Permanent Secretary for Environment and Climate Change, Dr Sivendra Michael, also joined the Talanoa, providing participants with an overview of the UNFCCC and COP processes, the role of Pre-COP, and how Pacific youth can align their advocacy with Fiji's Pre-COP priorities. His session encouraged participants to see themselves not just as observers, but as contributors to a stronger and more unified Pacific voice on the global stage. Throughout the day, participants put these ideas into practice, exploring how climate decisions are made, strengthening their advocacy skills and refining the Pacific Youth Communiqué, a youth-led document that will help carry Pacific priorities into the lead-up to Pre-COP31 and COP31. The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is co-designed and co-led by the UN in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu & Vanuatu and the Pacific Youth Council in partnership with Pasifika Communities University and other regional organisations.
