Grateful to CSI for publishing my blog on Small States, clean energy and affordable finance. #CSI #ClimateFinance @commonwealthsec #CCFAH #SmallStates #COP31 #CleanEnergy
Clean energy technologies are becoming cheaper. But for many small island states, financing them remains a major barrier. In her guest blog for CSI, @DeepaPullani examines why the cost of capital matters for an affordable, reliable energy transition ahead of #COP31.
My blog, “COP31: A Pacific COP for Breaking the Barriers to Affordable Clean Energy,” is now out on CSI. As momentum builds towards COP31, the Pacific's voice on climate finance and affordable clean energy is more important than ever. @commonwealthsec

Thrilled to see the Climate Adaptation in Rewa Delta (CARE) Project receive USD 2.89 million from SCCF GEF for #Fiji's climate resilience. Proud to have initiated & supported the concept development & inspired by the communities behind it.

In Fiji, I had a chance to visit communities across the Rewa Delta affected by flooding & saltwater intrusion. This Commonwealth video, filmed during those visits captures the communities who will benefit from the project's adaptation efforts: 🎥 youtube.com/watch?v=5tJvl79y…
From policy to impact: #Eswatini and #SriLanka are demonstrating that climate action works best when it is inclusive by design. Pleased to share our blog published on @commonwealthsec website.

🌎The toll protein sources take on the planet is often overlooked. But the good news is high protein doesn't have to come at a high climate cost.
🫘For example, beans, lentils, soy, nuts, and seeds are not only great sources of protein but also typically more affordable: go.wri.org/plant-protein-tw
