- Climate justice in the Pacific: climate change as a human rights issue
- Climate science

Pacific Calling Partnership
PurposeThe Pacific Calling Partnership (PCP) was founded in May 2006 in recognition of the negative impacts climate change was having on the peoples of Kiribati, Tuvalu and islands of the Torres Strait. We are committed to listening and amplifying the voices of the Pacific about imminent threats to their environment, communities and lives as a result of the climate crisis. At the same time we advocate strongly for climate justice and urgent climate action in Australia and internationally. |

PCP supports the efforts of Pacific Island communities to make their voices heard and raise awareness within the Australian community and internationally about the impacts of climate change on the region. - We work with our Pacific partners to deliver training workshops for emerging climate leaders from Kiribati, Tuvalu and elsewhere in the Pacific. - We facilitate annual fellowships as part of our Pacific Climate Leadership Program. -We actively create opportunities for political and grassroots advocacy to advance climate justice outcomes. - We raise awareness of climate-related issues in the Pacific through in-person events, webinars and podcast interviews. PCP often collaborates with people, governments and organisations who work on raising awareness of the impacts of climate change, both in the Pacific and more broadly. The PCP is open to forming new relationships. Find out more: The Kiribati-Tuvalu-Australia Exchange Program (KATEP) |
