The Pacific Community's Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes the
17 SDGs, is an important driving force in global development efforts. Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) have embraced the goals to guide and measure their work through their National Development Plans. The Pacific Community (SPC) increasingly relies on these plans to develop its own work programmes with members.

SPC’s Strategic Plan has three development goals:

  • Goal 1: Pacific people benefit from sustainable economic development
  • Goal 2: Pacific communities are empowered and resilient
  • Goal 3: Pacific people reach their potential and live long and healthy lives

Our development goals and objectives align very closely to the SDGs, particularly in the areas of management of natural resources, oceans, climate, disaster resilience, energy, transport, economic growth, human rights, education and well-being.
