澳大利亚与斐济联合主办的太平洋气候前期会议于本周一在斐济开幕1，汇聚澳大利亚、德国、尼泊尔及太平洋岛国的代表，共同讨论气候变化威胁1。这次会议为11月在土耳其召开的COP31全球气候峰会进行准备1。澳大利亚气候变化部长克里斯·鲍恩宣布向该地区可再生能源过渡投入729万美元1，这笔资金来自已宣布的5000万美元澳大利亚-太平洋能源转型伙伴关系的一部分1。
会议期间，与会各方重申了将全球升温控制在1.5°C以内的重要性，并强调气候融资的必要性1。国际法院最近重申气候融资是法律义务而非援助或慈善行为1。太平洋岛国强烈推动通过太平洋韧性基金获得无债务赠款，用于气候适应和灾害应对1。COP31的全球电气化目标定为"35 by 35"，即到2035年全球能源结构中电力占比达到35%1。澳大利亚总理艾博年和前总理吉拉德、新西兰前领导人阿德恩参与了会议1。此次会议吸引了近600名注册国家谈判代表，以及来自民间社会、学术、活动人士和社区团体的2560名参与者1。
A Pacific climate preparatory conference jointly hosted by Australia and Fiji opened this week in Fiji, bringing together representatives from Australia, Germany, Nepal, and Pacific island nations to address the escalating threats of climate change.1 The gathering serves as preparation for COP31, the global climate summit scheduled for November in Turkey.1
Australian Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen announced a commitment of AUD 7.29 million toward renewable energy transition in the Pacific region, emphasizing the critical importance of maintaining the 1.5°C temperature control target and ensuring adequate climate finance.1 This funding forms part of an already-announced AUD 50 million Australia-Pacific Energy Transition Partnership.1 Among key climate targets discussed, COP31 aims for "35 by 35"—achieving 35 percent electricity in the global energy mix by 2035.1 The International Court of Justice has recently reaffirmed that climate finance represents a legal obligation rather than aid or charitable assistance.1
Pacific island nations have strongly advocated for securing debt-free grants through the Pacific Resilience Fund to support climate adaptation and disaster response efforts.1 The conference attracted nearly 600 registered national negotiators, alongside 2,560 participants representing civil society, academia, activists, and community groups.1 Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, along with New Zealand's former leader Jacinda Ardern, participated in the conference.1
