Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) gathered in Suva last week for the 2025 Regional Dialogue Forum for Pacific SIDS, under the theme “Geospatial Data to Support Monitoring and Integrated Planning for Achieving Land Degradation Neutrality, Climate Change, and Biodiversity Goals” as part of the GEOdata4LDN+ initiative.
The Forum was co-hosted by the United Nations University – Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), the GEO-LDN Flagship, and the Government of Fiji through its Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways. The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and The Pacific Community (SPC) were collaborating partners involved in the initial planning and support for Pacific small island states in the build up to the event.
