350 Pacific

350 Pacific is youth-led grassroots movement working with organizers across 15 Pacific Island nations to highlight the vulnerabilities of our island countries from climate change while also showcasing our strength and resilience as a people.

They have set up, and facilitated workshops to educate and empower youth in the region, organized days of action to raise awareness on climate change and climate justice, and have participated in the UN climate negotiations.

They train themselves and each other, to become proactive at meeting the effects of climate change in real time, and ensure that the approach to meeting these impacts is well-rooted in traditional and cultural knowledge and strengths.

“Us Pacific peoples have come to learn that we are only seen as “family” by the government and wider society when we win rugby tournaments, or when we receive praise and acclaim on the international stage, or when politicians are seeking clout and political power here or overseas.”

They are a movement strong on providing a platform to be heard. As they like to say, "Hope is not lost. Hope is us."
