Prime Minister Lord Fakafanua joined global leaders at the opening panel of the EarthX Family Office Summit. He then chaired the Island Resilience Summit and later attended the Nature Summit. These meetings brought together philanthropy, private capital, investors, and innovators to identify scalable solutions.

Speaking alongside Minister Juan Carlos Navarro of Panama, he highlighted the direct link between climate change, economic resilience, and national stability – particularly for small island states like Tonga, where environmental shocks impact livelihoods, infrastructure, and growth.

The Prime Minister emphasised the importance of mobilising investment and partnerships to scale practical solutions, such as decarbonising energy systems to be more secure and reinforcing Tonga’s leadership in advancing sustainable and environmental protections in the Pacific and beyond.
