Works for DFAT on Australia's aid program; focus on climate resilience, infrastructure & food security- all views are my own; re-posts don't mean endorsement
What a way to celebrate the end of week one of #COP29 with a $125 million announcement to support Pacific energy transition priorities including the #REnewPacific program ⚡️
Exciting to see the first two 🇦🇺Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnerships for the Pacific and Timor Leste announced last week! 🌞
So excited this is kicking off! Please take a look at the great new partnership and funding opportunities in our *Call for Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnerships in the Pacific and Timor-Leste* https://t.co/TUtlsd12iv
An exciting day for the development community after 10 years since the last comprehensive aid policy - privileged to be part of the effort to deliver significant new climate infrastructure in the Pacific as part of Australia’s strengthened overseas development program
The Albanese Government’s international development policy will advance Australia’s interests in a peaceful, stable and prosperous region.
It's fit for the challenges and opportunities of our time - and will make a positive difference to lives in our region and beyond.
So pleased with the outcome of this initiative so far and honoured to have been part of its origin story. Best wishes to the Steering Committee in your deliberations on these excellent resilience-building projects for small island states faced with so many climate challenges.
.@cdri_world received 50 Expressions of Interest from 28 #SIDS in response to the first call for proposals. The #IRIS Steering Committee meets at #Chennai today to select proposals that are aimed at strengthening capacities of #SIDS for advancing on the climate and #DRI agenda
"If humanity is to thrive this century and bequeath a viable planet for our grandkids, then the world needs to produce more and healthier food using fewer resources, and less waste.”

Amazing game- what a captains knock to rip the game away from the hosts. Gutsy decision to go for the win with those feisty sixes, and totally vindicated. A very sweet Aussie victory. It was definitely our turn…
As we seek to save the planet, we must not neglect those who suffer. Carbon dioxide is not the only pollution that kills; inequality also fatally damages our planet. #SeasonOfCreation
On the island of Maiana late this afternoon (with Tim's fans) 😁 👪👩👩👧👧 Nice to finally meet @climateresildev who came on our return flight to base #Kiribati 🇰🇮
@mytagimoucia@bwmoles He definitely was not. Expensive handmade leather does not belong in the equatorial pacific! So thongs it was… Great to finally meet you in person Captain Salote!
As our men's national team touches down in India, we'd like to take a moment to recognise the 75th anniversary of India's independence, and 75 years of bilateral relations between our two countries!

All the best to the Pacific athletes competing at #B2022. Australia has supported 155 Pacific athletes, para-athletes & coaches to prepare for @birminghamcg22. We might be rivals on the track, in the pool or on the field, but 🇦🇺 & the Pacific are also family. #PacificAusSports
