This is one of the standing ministerial meetings of the Pacific Islands Forum. It plays an important role in determining what will be on the agenda of the Forum Leaders when they meet in Cook Islands later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the endorsement of a redesigned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbcnews.com.fj\/news\/pacific-resilience-facility-to-address-climate-financing-difficulties\/\">Pacific Resilience Facility (PRF)<\/a>. This is intended to provide access to finance for Pacific communities that are unable to tap into mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund. The PRF will now go before the Forum Leaders for them to approve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiji\u2019s Finance Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/devpolicy.org\/pacific-islands-at-a-cliff-edge-20230811\/\">Biman Prasad<\/a> gave a public seminar on the sidelines of the meeting. He described the region as being on a \u201ccliff edge\u201d. His proposed remedy hinges on full regional integration starting with visa free travel between all Forum member countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disconnected conversations at PNG Investment Conference<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 Business Advantage PNG Investment Conference was held recently in Brisbane. Whilst much of what was discussed is \u2018business as usual\u2019 there are increasing levels of disconnect in these discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Predicted levels of economic growth are steadfastly located within the \u2018resources mindset\u2019. There were reassurances that gas is part of the transition to a decarbonised global economy and that PNG should not fear being left with stranded assets. This puts PNG at odds with the rest of the region when it comes to collective action and advocacy in relation to the climate emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, elsewhere when it comes to the long-called-for diversification of the economy away from the resources sector, there seems little progress. One new initiative emanating from the tourism board is to invest in East New Britain as a primary destination that can cater for niche, high-value markets such as bird watching and soft adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Pacific News:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Australia<\/strong>, the women\u2019s football team advanced to the semi-finals.
