The 3rd Pacific Regional Dialogue on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and consultations on the Regional Pacific NDC Hub was held from 12-14th March in Suva, Fiji. The Dialogue provided an opportunity for Pacific Island Countries to share experiences and needs on the implementation of their NDCs. Countries, partners, regional organisations, private sector and civil society organisations were present to provide inputs to the establishment of the Regional Pacific NDC Hub – a regional arm of the NDC Partnership. 
 
The meeting supported countries in the process of implementation and enhancement of their NDCs. During the three days sessions, participants shared experiences and discussed in-depth the exchange of national experiences and views related to NDC implementation planning. Different topics were addressed, such as linkages to SDG processes, opportunities to advance gender equality, future steps on NDC’s enhancement and revision, and linkages to long-term strategies. Participants further identified concrete opportunities for action in translating NDCs into actionable projects, in particular in the energy sector. The discussion on how to contribute to NDC goals and its implementation went through linkages with sectoral planning and the access to and availability of finance including private-sector engagement.
 
A key element from the meeting for Pacific Island states was to achieve agreement on the Regional Pacific NDC Hub in terms of services provided, funding mechanism, structure, and governance. Inputs to the draft design document based on country priorities and needs, and agreement on next steps were also very important. Two of consensual decisions was that the Regional Pacific NDC Hub should provide assistance the area of NDC enhancement and the inclusion of adaptation if requested by the countries. Due to the need for increased resilience across all sectors, the participants also suggested that the Regional Pacific NDC Hub should provide guidance on synergies between mitigation & resilience and the adaptation co-benefits of mitigation action.
