COP31 climate conference
Pacific nations expected to use the report's economic findings to press for climate finance commitments.
UNSW Sydney releases fossil fuel cost report
Counting the Cost of Fossil Fuels in the Pacific is published, analysing fuel imports across 21 Pacific countries.
Pacific Islands Forum in Palau
Regional leaders gather days after the report's release to discuss climate change and renewable energy.
A UNSW Sydney study quantifies the Pacific's fossil-fuel dependence: imports consume 10-25% of economic output across 21 nations. Replacing diesel would cost US$650M a year but save US$700M, a roughly 10-year payback that reframes Pacific decarbonisation as an investable energy-security trade.
A UNSW Sydney report finds 21 Pacific nations spend 10-25% of GDP on imported fossil fuels, and that renewables could deliver US$700 million in annual savings while paying for themselves in just over a decade. The findings land ahead of the Pacific Islands Forum and COP31, reframing decarbonisation from a moral appeal into an economic and energy-security case.

Australia's grid hit 42.1% renewable power in Q2 2026, slashing wholesale prices 47%, but a former defence chief says surging coal and gas exports are erasing those gains. Woodside's North West Shelf 40-year extension and new refinery plans lock in offshore emissions while the government avoids COP31 export limits.
