Siegerstetter acknowledged and thanked the Pacific country and regional partners who have shaped the Regional Pacific NDC Hub since its establishment following COP23, reflecting on nearly a decade of collaboration and shared learning.

She reaffirmed that GIZ remains committed to working alongside Pacific partners through its current portfolio and ongoing projects, supporting practical action across freshwater security and climate-resilient WASH, marine litter, sustainable ocean economies, climate-related human mobility and other regional priorities.

The session brought together Pacific country and regional leaders to reflect on the journey so far and look ahead to the next phase of NDC implementation.
