GREEN CLIMATE FUND RESULT BASED PAYMENT – RECONNAISSANCE AND INCEPTION PROGRAM IN SIMBU PROVINCE （17-28 AUGUST 2026）

THE Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), met with the Simbu Provincial Administration as part of the ongoing mission supporting the Green Climate Fund (GCF) REDD+ Results-Based Payments (RBP) Programme.

The meeting which took place on Monday, 17 August, 2026 provided an opportunity to discuss the programme’s objectives, strengthen collaboration with provincial stakeholders, and explore opportunities to advance climate action, sustainable forest management and community-based livelihoods across Simbu Province.

The Simbu Provincial Administrator John Punde also shared remarks on the importance of strengthening partnerships and coordinated action to address climate change and support sustainable development in the province.

“We can all agree that climate change affects everyone. When we talk about climate, we are talking about life. Within climate induced occurrences, human intervention also plays an important role, and that intervention is shaped by our knowledge, understanding and actions,” said Mr Punde.

“As part of our ongoing restructuring, the Simbu Provincial Administration is looking at establishing a dedicated division for climate change. This will strengthen our capacity to coordinate and respond to climate-related issues at the provincial level. We look forward to working closely with CCDA and FAO under the GCF Results-Based Payments Programme to advance this important work in Simbu Province.”

In July 2025, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) approved USD 63.4 million in Results-Based Payments for emissions reductions achieved by PNG between 2014 and 2016. The funding is intended to support the implementation of the National REDD+ Strategy in the country for the six (6) target provinces – Simbu, Hela, West New Britain, Western, East and West Sepik provinces.

The meeting marks an important step towards strengthening provincial ownership and coordination for the effective implementation of the GCF REDD+ Results-Based Payments (RBP) Programme in Simbu Province, including efforts to strengthen forest governance, sustainable forest management and community-based livelihoods.

Today, we successfully concluded the PNG Greenpreneurs Initiative, an important program delivered by the Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) with funding support from the Australian Government.

It was especially rewarding to see eleven (11) Greenpreneurs receive USD 5,000 each in seed funding to help turn their green business ideas into practical, sustainable enterprises.

For CCDA, green entrepreneurship is an important part of our climate change agenda. Our work is not only about developing policies and setting national climate targets; it must also create real opportunities for our people, strengthen SMEs, support livelihoods and take climate-resilient development into our provinces and communities.

Through Climate FIRST, our Climate Resilient and Green Growth (CRGG) agenda, and other complementary green entrepreneurship and seed-funding initiatives, CCDA will continue to mobilise resources and work with our development and technical partners to support more Papua New Guinean entrepreneurs.

This is only the beginning. We want to see these businesses grow, access finance and markets, create employment and demonstrate that climate action and economic development can go hand in hand.

We thank the Australian Government for its continued support, GGGI for its technical partnership, and all our Greenpreneurs, mentors, partners and stakeholders who have contributed to this program.

Our intention is to build on this progress, strengthen future cohorts and progressively expand these opportunities to more provinces across Papua New Guinea.

Congratulations to all our Greenpreneurs. Your success is part of PNG’s transition towards a greener, more resilient and inclusive economy!

Thank you JICA Papua New Guinea

Today marked another important milestone for Papua New Guinea as the Office of the Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) convened an Interdepartmental Working Group on Climate Mobility on the Climate-Induced Planned Relocation Policy, with technical support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Pacific Climate Migration Partnerships programme and generous funding from the New Zealand High Commission, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

The workshop brought together key government institutions, including the Department of Provincial and Local Government Affairs (DPLGA), Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Lands, to strengthen collaboration on one of the country's most pressing climate challenges.

The Policy will provide a coordinated national framework to guide the relocation of communities displaced by disasters and climate change, while addressing longstanding relocation needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) across Papua New Guinea. It also lays the foundation for future climate-induced planned relocation efforts that uphold human dignity, protect livelihoods, and build resilient communities.

As climate change continues to reshape lives and landscapes, partnerships between government, development partners, and communities remain essential in ensuring that no one is left behind.
