As climate impacts intensifies, the focus is no longer conceptualisation, but how climate, peace and security approaches can be implemented to strengthen resilience, sovereignty and community wellbeing across Oceania. This panel brings together leaders, practitioners, policymakers and researchers to examine practical responses, including climate mobility planning, resilience financing, inclusive governance, conflict-sensitive adaptation, and locally led solutions grounded in Indigenous knowledge ,customary institutions, and community leadership. It will also explore how Pacific and Australia led solutions are navigating growing geopolitical competition while ensuring climate action, peacebuilding and sovereignty remain central to regional and international partnerships. and community leadership.
