New Zealand Helps Pacific Islands Bid

New Zealand has committed $15 million to support Sol­omon Islands provincial governments to strengthen cli­mate resilience at the grassroots level.

Deputy Prime Minister Car­mel Sepuloni, who is on a three-country Pacific tour, made the announcement in Honiara on Mon­day, with the funding coming out of the $1.3 billion climate finance commitment for 2022-2025.
