COP31: Integrity, Influence and the Blue Pacific

WEBINAR POSTPONED

This webinar will no longer take place on 27 October. We’re planning a revised discussion for early 2027, exploring what COP31 delivered for the Pacific and what action is needed next.

We’ll update this page once the new date is confirmed. Everyone already registered will also receive an email update.

Thank you for your interest and understanding.

A joint online webinar from Transparency International New Zealand and Transparency International Australia

Pacific countries have long called for stronger global climate action. As COP31 approaches, the question is whether Pacific voices will have the influence needed to shape the decisions that follow.

COP31 will be hosted by Turkey, with Australia leading the negotiations. This creates an important opportunity to ask who has access to the negotiating process, whose interests carry weight, and what safeguards will help ensure climate decisions serve the communities most affected.

Join Transparency International New Zealand and Transparency International Australia for a Pacific-centred talanoa on integrity in climate negotiations.

Pacific civil society and climate integrity voices will explore where transparency and accountability need to improve, what meaningful participation looks like, and what governments and civil society can do before COP31.

The discussion will include a short introduction to integrity risks in the COP process, a facilitated talanoa, and audience questions. Speakers and registration details will be announced soon.

Facilitator and Speakers:

• Fenton Lutunatabua - a Pacific climate advocate, storyteller, and facilitator with a background in community organising and environmental justice. action across the region.

• Dr Sindra Sharma, Climate Action Network Pacific Islands (PICAN) - an international climate policy specialist with experience advising Pacific Island nations and negotiating across multilateral environmental treaty processes.

• Belyndar Rikimani, Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC) - a climate activist who strongly believes that more emphasis on intergenerational equity and youth leadership is needed to have effective advocacy in Climate Justice.

• Clancy Moore, Transparency International Australia - an anti-corruption advocate and civil society leader with a background in international development, open government and transparency in the mining, oil and gas sectors.

Pacific voices need more than a place in the room. They need a fair opportunity to shape the outcome.
