Will Nankervis

Australia's Ambassador for Climate Change. My posts since August 2025.

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

Pacific leadership in shaping global responses to climate change comes from the weight of lived experience.

Australia was pleased to support the adoption of the Pacific-led resolution on the ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change. We will always stand with the Pacific family.

The Pacific Resilience Facility is a Pacific-owned and led #ClimateFinance institution

This week Australia and Fiji lodged ratification docs, bringing the PRF into force

An important step in ensuring Pacific communities have the resources they need to respond to #ClimateChange

[Pacific Islands Forum @ForumSEC]

The Agreement establishing the Pacific Resilience Facility has officially entered into force, with Australia and Fiji jointly presenting their instruments of ratification today in Suva.

Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator the Honourable Penny Wong, and Fiji’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and External Trade, Honourable Sakiasi Ditoka, presented their instruments of ratification to Secretary General Baron Divavesi Waqa at the Forum Secretariat, witnessed by Suva-based Pacific diplomats, Australian and Fiji government officials, PIFS staff, and members of the media.

The PRF is a Pacific-led, Pacific-owned, climate and disaster resilience financing facility, designed by the Pacific region, for Pacific communities who stand at the frontline of climate change. Congratulations to all Pacific Islands Forum Members and the peoples of the Blue Pacific Continent!
