Pacific Blue Economy: Post-Dialogue Reflections

October 1, 2024

The Blue Economy Dialogue, held online on 26 September, featured oceans expert Taholo Kami and a panel of Pacific contributors, including Suva Hub coordinator Salote Waqairatu-Waqainabete, 'Less than Container Load' project lead James Kana and director of NZ tech company Ackama Josh Forde. For our members, it was not only an opportunity to reconnect but also to explore a topic of global importance from a Pacific perspective and articulate some key messages to world leaders about the challenges we face in our region.
