From 23–25 June, Papua New Guinea convened the inaugural workshop of the PNG Nature Pact in Port Moresby, a major step towards strengthening national coordination and accelerating climate and biodiversity action.

The PNG is a government‑led platform designed to align policies, mobilise finance, strengthen community benefits and support sustainable, inclusive growth.

It takes place within the context of the Country Package for Forests, Nature and Climate, a partnership established between PNG, France and the European Union to protect forests and biodiversity while creating sustainable economic opportunities for PNG’s customary landowners and communities. The EU-FCCB Programme represents the European Union's contribution to this Country Package.

Opening the workshop, Prime Minister James Marape thanked the European Union (EU) and France for their global leadership and long‑standing partnership with PNG.

The European Union Head of Cooperation, Dr Hans Lambrecht, highlighted that the Country Package reflects the spirit of the EU Global Gateway by combining investment, regulatory support, technology transfer and know‑how. This includes the upcoming rehabilitation of Rabaul Port, which is set to become the Pacific’s first green port, and the momentum generated at the 5th EU–PNG Business Forum, which attracted new interest from European companies in green investment.

At the workshop, the EU-FCCB National Component project manager, Mr Alaric Vandenberghe, highlighted key lessons learned from ongoing project implementation, including:

🇵🇬 Stronger coordination among central agencies, line agencies, development partners, and field actors is crucial to advancing change in the agriculture, forestry, climate, biodiversity, and land use sectors.

🇵🇬⁠ ⁠Investments made by PNG in its monitoring systems have proven to be highly worthwhile. In particular, PNG’s excellent forest monitoring system has already played a critical role in helping the country access REDD+ results-based payments and international climate finance, such as the recently approved Green Climate Fund Results-Based Payment funding.

🇵🇬 ⁠PNG’s Jurisdictional REDD+ programme holds significant additional potential for PNG in terms of unlocking financial opportunities in international carbon markets and collaborative mechanisms.

🇵🇬 ⁠OECMs (“Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures”), in addition to protected areas, could play a key role in helping PNG achieve or even exceed the 30x30 targets for biodiversity protection.

PNG should consider focusing on increasing the number of scientific publications from PNG in the FCCB space.

Through their combined efforts, PNG, the EU, and France are developing a more coordinated, evidence-based, and future-oriented strategy for forests, climate, and biodiversity, opening up new possibilities for sustainable development and international green finance.

Strengthening capacities for better project delivery and impact

The EU-funded Forestry, Climate Change and Biodiversity (EU-FCCB) Programme national component, through Expertise France, conducted a series of guidance and training missions with the New Guinea Binatang Research Centre (BRC) in Madang province, Papua New Guinea.

The training focuses on enhancing skills in reporting, procurement, communication and knowledge management, and finance management to support the effective implementation of project activities. Through practical exercises and hands-on guidance, BRC staff are building the capacity to produce high-quality reports and financial management, develop impactful communication and knowledge products, and strengthen internal coordination and information management processes.

This initiative reflects the ongoing commitment of Expertise France and BRC to promoting transparency, accountability, and effective communication while advancing forest, climate, and biodiversity objectives in Papua New Guinea.

PNGFA Enhances Workplace with Communication Equipment Supported by the EU-FCCB Programme National Component

On Friday, 12 June 2026, the Papua New Guinea Forest Authority (PNGFA) advanced its Communication, Knowledge Management, and Visibility (CKMV) efforts by receiving communication and video-conferencing tools from the European Union-funded Forestry-Climate Change-Biodiversity (EU-FCCB) Programme, the national component implemented by Expertise France.

The handover comprises video conferencing equipment, two computers, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), a professional camera, and various accessories, including a tripod.

The support is part of the PNGFA's ongoing efforts to implement its CKMV. This strategy aims to bolster institutional communication, improve the capture and sharing of knowledge, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and raise the profile of PNGFA’s work in promoting sustainable forest management and governance throughout PNG.

The handover signifies a significant milestone in PNGFA’s initiative to modernise its communication tools, systems, and connectivity. It will facilitate better coordination, real-time updates, virtual meetings, and improved information sharing among the headquarters, 22 provincial offices, and partners.

PNGFA Acting Managing Director Mr. John Mosoro expressed appreciation for the support, viewing it as the recognition of a vision to enhance the Authority’s information and communication technology capabilities.

Mr. Mosoro stated, "After discussions with the EU-FCCB Programme's Project Manager Mr. Alaric Vandenberghe, we recognised the need to update our systems. I am pleased to see these discussions now leading to practical support that will enhance PNGFA’s operations and service delivery."

Mr. Mosoro stated that the new equipment would greatly enhance communication between the headquarters and provincial offices, allowing for quicker decision-making and more efficient coordination of forestry programs nationwide.

“The equipment will bridge the gap between headquarters and our field offices. We can now communicate more effectively with provincial teams, improve data management, strengthen reporting, and ensure that critical information reaches decision-makers, including the Prime Minister’s Department and Finance, in a timely manner,” Acting Managing Director Mr. Mosoro said.

He added that video conferencing capabilities would reduce operational costs by minimising travel requirements while enabling staff to participate in virtual meetings, training programmes, workshops, and consultations with national and international partners.

The equipment will also support the work of PNG Diwai Holdings Limited, PNGFA’s recently launched commercial arm, by strengthening its ability to communicate, promote its services, and engage with stakeholders and investors.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Mr Vandenberghe, the EU-FCCB Programme's Project Manager at Expertise France, said the investment reflects the Programme’s commitment to strengthening institutions critical to sustainable forest management and climate resilience.

“Strong institutions depend on effective communication systems. This support will assist PNGFA in better coordinating its provincial network, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and raising awareness of its vital role in managing PNG’s forest resources,” said Mr. Vandenberghe.

“This investment goes beyond just equipment; it aims to enhance transparency, facilitate knowledge sharing, and foster collaboration. By enhancing PNGFA’s communication and digital skills, we are supporting an organisation key to biodiversity conservation, climate action, and sustainable economic growth,” he added.

The handover builds on the successful development of PNGFA’s CKMV Strategy and corporate website, both supported by the EU-FCCB Programme. These initiatives are helping position PNGFA as a modern, transparent, and forward-looking institution capable of effectively communicating its achievements, sharing knowledge, and engaging stakeholders at all levels.

As PNGFA continues to strengthen its communication efforts and digital infrastructure, the new equipment is expected to improve operational efficiency, enhance stakeholder engagement, and support more inclusive and accountable forest governance across PNG.
