Pre-COP Stakeholder Program
Vale ni Vanua - Knowledge Exchange
Nadi, Fiji | 5-8 October 2026
The Pre-COP Stakeholder Program, Vale ni Vanua - Knowledge Exchange was held alongside the formal Pre-COP program in Fiji.
Vale ni Vanua is a space where traditional and community knowledge comes together with science and policy to support meaningful conversations and shared ideas.
In Fijian culture, vanua means more than land. It brings together people, place, community and tradition. Vale means house, a place where people come together.
The stakeholder program included a mix of event formats including plenaries, panels, roundtables, workshops, networking opportunities and keynotes.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia, the Indigenous Peoples throughout the Pacific and globally, and their roles in caring for lands, seas and skies. We respect and recognise Indigenous Peoples’ contributions in the fight against climate change.
