澳大利亚与斐济联合主办的太平洋Pre-COP31气候会议本周召开，太平洋岛国代表在会上明确表示"我们不会被牺牲"，强烈表达了气候变化对该地区生存和文化构成的威胁1。与会代表强调，将全球气温升幅控制在1.5℃以内是该地区的"生命线"1，并呼吁在即将于11月于土耳其安塔利亚举行的联合国COP31正式气候峰会上增加太平洋的参与和声音1。
本周会议期间，共有14位国家领导人访问图瓦卢，其中仅2位来自太平洋地区以外1。太平洋岛国代表还自我定位为"大洋州国家"（Big Ocean States），而非传统的"小岛屿发展中国家"（Small Island Developing States）称号1。澳大利亚气候能源部长克里斯·鲍恩担任COP31谈判主席1，澳大利亚为本周斐济会议投入了2000万澳元1。联合国报告显示全球升温可能在2030年突破1.5℃的临界点1。与会的太平洋代表还指出，现有气候融资机制存在不足，例如太平洋韧性基金仅以4000美元资助了帕劳的一个芋头补丁恢复项目1。
Australia and Fiji jointly hosted a Pacific Pre-COP31 climate conference this week, where representatives from island nations delivered forceful statements about the existential threat posed by climate change to their region.1 Pacific leaders emphasized that limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius remains a critical lifeline for their survival and cultural preservation.1 Rather than accepting the designation of "Small Island Developing States," Pacific representatives asserted their identity as "Big Ocean States," signaling their determination to be recognized as major stakeholders in global climate negotiations.1
The conference highlighted both the urgency of climate action and persistent gaps in financial support.1 Pacific nations called for substantially increased climate finance commitments and greater participation of Pacific voices in the upcoming COP31 negotiations.1 Existing funding mechanisms have proven inadequate—the Pacific Resilience Fund allocated just US$4,000 to support a taro patch restoration project in Palau.1 The week's discussions drew 14 national leaders to Tuvalu, with only 2 visitors from outside the Pacific region.1
The formal UN COP31 climate summit will take place in Antalya, Turkey in November, with Australia's Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen serving as negotiations chair.1 Australia has invested A$20 million in support of the Fiji conference.1 Recent UN analysis suggests global temperatures could breach the 1.5-degree threshold by 2030, underscoring the time-sensitive nature of these deliberations.1
