About The Pacific Islander Forum

The Pacific Islands Forum was established in 1971 as an organization where government leaders discuss current events and challenges faced by its eighteen member states. The goals of the forum are to ensure a community of states working together to support unity, safety, and prosperity for all people of the Pacific. These goals are pursued through cooperation between governments within and outside the forum, working with international agencies to ensure the interests of member states.

This year’s annual meeting will focus on the critical topics of finding solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change and combating gentrification. These matters affect all of our members in some form and must be addressed to preserve the homes and histories of our Forum’s citizens.
