The inaugural meeting and onboarding of the first Pacific cohort of climate finance advisors was held online on 1 February 2022. The overall training aimed to ensure that the advisors have a thorough understanding of climate finance, policy, and stakeholders in their respective countries and throughout the region.
It was coordinated through the Climate Finance Access Network (CFAN), a division of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), with the support of regional agencies in the Pacific, including the Pacific Climate Change Centre (PCCC) hosted at the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) in Apia, Samoa.
As a regional Centre of excellence for training, capacity development, climate change information, research, and innovation, the PCCC, among other organizations, will be delivering modules as part of the training for the Pacific climate finance advisors’ cohort between February – April 2022.
