The Pacific Calling Partnership (PCP) exists in response to Pacific Islander calls for solidarity in the face of climate change. Science tells us that atolls such as Kiribati and Tuvalu will become uninhabitable within the next 30 years due to the impacts of climate change. We work in partnership with Pacific Islander individuals and communities, helping to enhance Pacific Islander voices on climate justice within Australia and internationally through community engagement and advocacy. |
What We Do |
||
Pacific Climate Leadership Capacity-Building
|
We help strengthen the capacity of Pacific Islander communities to advocate for climate justice through training, mentoring and fellowship programs conducted in Australia and in the Pacific. This includes our Kiribati-Australia-Tuvalu Exchange Program (KATEP) and our Australian Pasifika Climate Leadership Program (Western Sydney).

|
Community Engagement within Australia |
We raise awareness in Australia of how climate change is affecting Pacific islands through talks and workshops. In partnership with our Pacific islander networks, we also strive to maximise media coverage of key events such as the annual Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) and United National Climate Conference (COP).

Advocacy
|
We support Pacific Islander participation at international climate conferences and within Australia, we organise and facilitate regular meetings between Pacific climate leaders and Australian Parliamentarians - both Federal and State - across the political spectrum. We also facilitate public campaigns on Pacific climate advocacy such as the 2020 Open Letter to Scott Morrison signed by 15 high-profile Pacific leaders. The PCP welcomes collaboration with individuals, governments and organisations in Australia and internationally. If you have an idea for collaboration, please contact Corinne Fagueret, at [email protected]. |
