6th Pacific Urban Forum September 5-7, 2023 - Podcasts
The Pacific Urban Forum (PUF) seeks to accelerate the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals through multi-stakeholder partnerships. EAROPH was a partner in the 6th PUF, held in Suva, Fiji.
EAROPH Australia was there to share and show our continued commitment to not only the New Urban Agenda and the SDGs but also the Pacific Urban Partnership, as one the key partners. Our support becomes ever more pressing as we need to collectively address the disproportionate impacts that climate change is having on our Pacific neighbours.
It was also an opportunity to further the reach and partnerships for the The Yidinji Declaration in favour of an Indigenous Climate Justice Charter that started at the Climate Justice Workshop in Cairns, earlier in 2023.
EAROPH engaged arts Nexus Studio to capture some of the knowledge and insights of the participants at the PUF, a record of what was discussed directly from the people that lead the conversation. Enjoy these podcasts, we hope they give you a glimpse of what it was to be at the 6th PUF and inspire you to reflection and, hopefully, take positive action.

2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Climate Justice Workshop | 27-29 April, Cairns - ACCOMPLISHED
Thank you to all the participants, organisers, sponsors, EAROPH International Secretariat and EAROPH Australia members that have made the Climate Justice Workshop and the AGM a success.
The Climate Justice Workshop culminated in the The Yidinji Declaration in favour of an Indigenous Climate Justice Charter which seeks collective action for a just and regenerative future drawing on the cultural sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples.
EAROPH Australia held its 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) in tropical Cairns, Queensland. It was a great opportunity to meet in person as the 'long veil' of the COVID-19 pandemic lifts.
The Climate Justice Workshop addressed the multiple challenges/dimensions of climate change, such as energy, habitat, water, waste and carbon sequestration, with a First Nations lens and voice. It was a enlightening dialogue about nature based solutions and how to tackle loss and damages that are already impacting Country in the Pacific Nations, Australia and beyond.
The workshop was an event of the UN Pacific Urban Partnership (PUP) that seeks to accelerate the implementation of the New Urban Agenda to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the Pacific. PUP partners include: Commonwealth Local Government Forum (CLGF), EAROPH, Home in Place, ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability (Oceania), Monash University, UN-ESCAP, UN-Habitat, and the University of Melbourne. The Workshop will be a lead-in event to the Pacific Urban Forum (PUF6), to be held in Fiji in August 2023.
