From Commitment to Action: How Niue's Ocean Conservation Commitments are financing long-term ocean protection, climate resilience and sustainable development through a country-led, community-driven approach.

Discover how Niue is using its Ocean Conservation Commitments (OCCs) to mobilise long-term finance for ocean protection, climate resilience and sustainable development. This session will share Niue’s experience establishing the NOW Trust and operationalising the OCC model, including lessons learned, challenges and opportunities. Hear how a country-led, community-driven approach can connect conservation finance with ocean stewardship, and explore how the model could be adapted and scaled across Pacific Small Island Developing States.
