Sharing now, with apologies for the late posting of August's events:

PSIDS at BBNJ PrepCom2:

From 18–29 August 2025, the Pacific Small Island Developing States engaged actively at the second session of the BBNJ Preparatory Commission, here in New York.

The PSIDS advanced work on institutional arrangements, finance, and the clearing house mechanism, while reaffirming that the special circumstances of SIDS must guide implementation.

We thank our coordinators FSM, Vanuatu, Tonga, and PNG for steering us through this session and ensuring the Pacific voice remained strong and united.

As custodians of the largest ocean, the PSIDS remain determined to see this Agreement succeed and call on more States to ratify and help deliver real impact.
