Launched by Pacific Leaders and Ministers at COP30 in Belem, Brazil, this report makes the case for the Blue Pacific to become the world’s first region 100% powered by renewable energy, continuing a long history of Pacific climate change leadership. Drawing on consultations with Pacific governments, regional organisations, civil society groups and development partners, the report demonstrates the economic and security benefits of renewables and how a renewables transition will strengthen resilience across Pacific communities. While there is strong political and policy commitment for renewable energy across the Pacific, the region’s renewable energy future is being held back by gaps in financing, skills, operations and regulation.

This report outlines how a 100% Renewable Pacific can be achieved through a new partnership that strengthens a regional approach, backed with scaled-up funding to deliver. It makes recommendations for the next 12 months, to build a Partnership for a 100% Renewable Pacific as a flagship initiative of COP31— helping to attract international resources for the Pacific’s renewable energy transition, and
charting the course for a global movement to a 100% Renewable Blue Planet.
