The Pacific Islands Development Forum launched the Pacific Green Business Centre at the Hexagon Hotel in Nadi on 26th of July, 2017. The Pacific Green Business Centre is the first digital platform dedicated to support businesses and the private sector in engaging in green growth, the blue economy and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). This is a partnership between PIDF, UNDP and the Pacific Islands Private Sector Organization (PIPSO).
The Pacific Green Business Centre is a virtual platform designed to enhance existing initiatives, explore new, “Greener” business models and best- practices to transition to greener modes of doing business. This platform will stimulate the Private Sector to build a low-carbon, climate-resilient future. The Pacific Green Business Centre will also be a depository of information on green climate financing and SDGs financing to assist the Private sector in preparing funding proposals.
