Pacific Islands Climate Action Network (PICAN)
@canpacificislands.bsky.social
Bringing together civil society actors across Pacific island countries to advocate for climate justice.
Ah yes, the universe reminding us, yet again, that the Pacific feels the impacts first. Even at COP. Even indoors. 🙃
Heavy rain hit #COP30 & the Moana Blue Pacific Pavilion flooded, forcing cancellations and a cordoned-off space… while everyone else carried on.

While #COP30 continues in Belém, PICAN is also in Vanuatu meeting with our Vanuatu node, VCAN, to support their work as they roll out their 2026–2028 Strategy.
Our commitment has always been global advocacy AND strengthened regional resilience.

Day 2 at #COP30 and climate obstruction is on full display. Some countries are challenging science itself, pushing “alternative facts” to weaken ambition.
But AOSIS, LDCs and the Pacific held firm: facts are not politics — data is survival. We won’t let delay win.

Day 1 at #COP30. Ten years since Paris, and once again, it’s the Small Islands leading the charge. As the world tracks toward 2.3–2.5°C, the Pacific and SIDS stand firm: 1.5°C isn’t ambition or target. It’s survival.

The Pacific is watching as Australia, and the worlds biggest producers, continue to profit from pollution while our islands fight to survive.

A little closer to home and the report exposes that Australia’s 🇦🇺 gas & oil production surged 77% - the biggest relative increase among the top 15 producers - driven by a doubling of gas.

The US 🇺🇸 drove 90% of the global increase in oil & gas extraction.
📈 +11 million barrels of oil equivalent per day from 2015 - 2024
💥 More than 5x as much as any other country

Recent analysis by @oilchange.bsky.social shows that since the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, just four Global North countries derailed potential for global progress in phasing out oil & gas by collectively increasing their production by nearly 40 percent between 2015 and 2024.

At #54PIFLM, PICAN was grateful to meet with the representatives of the Republic of the Marshall Islands Govt.
We look forward to supporting RMI’s priorities, especially in the science-policy space, to uplift frontline Pacific voices in global climate action.

234 industry lobbyists are in Geneva for INC 5.2! And this is likely to be a highly conservative number.
What we’re seeing across the plastics, biodiversity, climate and science spaces is a widespread fossil capture of multilateralism.

Is Shell’s PR team now running COP30’s media?!!! 🤯
How can climate justice win when fossil fuel enablers hold the mic? Climate justice must not be allowed to be co-opted by the very industry behind our destruction!

Today, the ICJ has confirmed what Pacific peoples have carried in story and struggle for generations. States and corporations have binding obligations to cut emissions, protect human rights guided by the principle of intergenerational equity, and repair the harm already done.

The path forward is clear.
Governments must act, civil society must keep the pressure, and the world must finally treat ocean justice as central to climate justice.
