Welcome

The Small Island Developing States (SIDS) of the Pacific face significant challenges in accessing climate-related finance. This issue is particularly pronounced when it comes to securing funding from the private sector, where investors seek scale and stability before committing resources. Moreover, many investors remain unaware of the diverse investment opportunities available across the Pacific.

Within the Commonwealth, a stark contrast exists between the priorities, imperatives, and financial requirements of its member states. Of the 56 Commonwealth nations, 33 are classified as small states, further highlighting this disparity.

As a leading voice in the global conversation on climate adaptation and mitigation, Vanuatu—supported by the Commonwealth and other strategic partners—is spearheading the establishment of the Commonwealth Pacific Climate Fund (CPCF).

A Catalyst for Change

The CPCF aims to bridge the climate finance gap by investing in commercially viable private-sector assets across the Pacific, with a focus on:

Renewable energy transition – advancing sustainable energy solutions.

Infrastructure development – enhancing resilience and connectivity.

Telecommunications – expanding digital access and innovation.

Healthcare – strengthening health systems for sustainable development.

All investments will align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)—ensuring that investors not only gain access to scalable and stable opportunities but also contribute to critical climate action objectives.

By fostering strategic, impact-driven investments, the CPCF will empower Pacific nations to navigate the climate transition while offering investors a sustainable and responsible path to growth.
