From Papua New Guinea, with the third largest tropical rainforest in the world and home to over seven percent of the world’s total number of species, to the Solomon Islands with record numbers of fish species; to the world’s third longest continuous barrier reef system in Fiji, the richness and diversity of species found in the Pacific is globally significant.

Some of the most coral reefs less exposed to climate change are found in Fiji and Solomon Islands. WWF works across Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Solomon Islands with offices in each country and a regional hub to serve communities and protect this region’s rich and unique biodiversity. We have three goals that outline our ambition, the cross-cutting nature of our work, and what we are working towards long-term: empowered Pacific peoples, integrated ocean management, and climate resilient Pacific nations. Our overarching focus is on community and ecosystem resilience combined with area-based conservation, working towards 30x30 and safeguarding the lands and waters of the Pacific. We focus on conservation priorities across 30x30: community-led conservation, sustainable fisheries and blue foods, conserving marine species, reducing deforestation, Pacific policy leadership, gender equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) mainstreaming and sustainable blue economy. Nature-Positive Business for Climate Critical Ecosystems Project implemented in Fiji and Solomon Islands, is designed to maintain and enhance the functionality of linked climate critical ecosystems including reefs, mangroves and forests, through community-led approaches to resource management and nature-positive livelihoods.

Almost 10 years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, countries still rely on out-of-date and incomplete statistics to inform implementation and review progress.

To support SIDS to address their data capacity challenges, DESA’s United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) and the SIDS Unit of the Division for the Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) have jointly developed the project Data for SIDS (DATAS), with the overall objective of strengthening the capacities of national statistical systems to produce and disseminate better and more timely data and statistics to inform decision making through four interconnected components; (i) national data governance and coordination; (ii) national data production and availability; (iii) national data dissemination and reporting and; (iv) SIDS to SIDS collaboration and experience exchange. This will accelerate the country’s progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while pursuing national development objectives.
