Pacific nations often depend on imported fossil fuels, making energy both expensive and carbon-intensive. Investments in renewable energy—such as geothermal and locally produced coconut biofuel—can significantly reduce costs and carbon emissions while increasing energy security.
Building resilient infrastructure is critical for adapting to the new realities of climate change.
As island nations, communication and connectivity are critical for development. Strengthening telecommunications infrastructure allows these nations to better engage in global trade, education, and emergency response during disasters.
The impacts of climate change on public health are well documented, with the rise of vector-borne diseases, heat-related illnesses, and malnutrition. CPCF’s investments in healthcare infrastructure aim to mitigate these risks by improving access to healthcare services and ensuring that facilities are resilient to climate impacts.
