As Fiji prepares to host Pre-COP 31 this year, Minister for Environment and Climate Change Lynda Tabuya Monday met with her Tuvalu counterpart, Maina Talia to coordinate logistics and key preparations ahead.

With only a few months remaining before the summit, preparations by both Fiji and Tuvalu are moving at full speed.

Key discussions during the meeting focused on ensuring a smooth flow of events, coordinating with participating countries, and finalising the agenda and schedules. The Ministers also identified areas where they could support each other.

Providing an update, Minister Tabuya highlighted Fiji’s readiness to host delegates and stressed that all logistical arrangements are being coordinated with support from relevant ministries to ensure a seamless event.

Both Minister Tabuya and Minister Maina emphasised the importance of regional collaboration in addressing climate challenges and amplifying the Pacific’s voice on global platforms.

Scheduled for early October this year, the Pre-COP 31 summit will bring together Pacific leaders and international partners to advance climate action ahead of COP 31 in Turkiye.
