The World Wide Fund for Nature in the Pacific (WWF-Pacific) has launched its revitalized 2025 Strategic Plan to address the urgent challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss in the Pacific region. The plan focuses on engaging with local communities in Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea and integrating traditional knowledge to create an effective approach to conservation and sustainable development. The Pacific region faces significant threats from rising sea levels, coral reef degradation, and climate change impacts. The Strategic Plan aims to protect critical habitats, ensure food security, and safeguard vulnerable species by supporting the 30×30 target and promoting sustainable fisheries and a sustainable blue economy. Climate resilience is a key emphasis, and the plan integrates the Environment Social Safety Framework and Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion principles to empower communities and safeguard their livelihoods. WWF-Pacific aims to create lasting change by engaging diverse stakeholders and addressing gender disparities. The organization is committed to driving critical discussions in partnership with Pacific Island Countries and recognizes the importance of community leadership and inclusivity. The launch events brought together partners from various countries, and WWF-Pacific looks ahead to 2030, working towards a People and Nature Positive Pacific where people are empowered, climate-resilient, and prosperous, and nature thrives.
