The 30th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP30) was held in Belém, Brazil from 10-21 November 2025, gathering over 56,000 participants from various organisations around the world. COP30 was widely viewed as the “Implementation COP”, reinforcing the urgent need to accelerate delivery of climate action and finance, particularly for climate-vulnerable regions such as the Pacific.
With support of numerous partners, the Pacific Farmer Organisations (PFO) delegation participated in COP30 to elevate Pacific farmer priorities and strengthen advocacy for inclusive, farmer-centred climate action. The delegation included representatives from PNG Women in Agriculture (PNG), Women in Business Development Inc. (Samoa), Samoa Farmers Association (Samoa), TeiTei Taveuni (Fiji), and the PFO Secretariat
PFO’s engagement at COP30 was guided by four objectives: amplifying Pacific farmer voices in global climate discussions; advocating for increased and directly accessible adaptation finance; showcasing farmer-led, nature-based and inclusive resilience approaches; and strengthening partnerships with key stakeholders. Across side events, panel discussions, bilateral meetings, and networking engagements, PFO delegates shared lived experiences from the region and highlighted practical adaptation solutions grounded in local leadership, Indigenous knowledge, and community-driven initiatives.
