What do we do?

Last Updated on Tuesday, 8 May 2012 12:12

The Pacific Institute of Public Policy (PiPP) is the leading independent think tank serving the Pacific islands community.
We exist to stimulate and support informed policy debate in the Pacific.
Central to our model of engagement with policy stakeholders is research communications. We synthesise research findings to draw out practical applications that can advance national development programs. Information is shared using innovative, people centred communication processes. Written material is published in user relevant formats and languages, and complemented using other media including audio and video pod casts, discussion forums, social networking, press, radio and television.
PiPP engages and connects principal stakeholders, promoting fraternity between the Pacific island countries and regional neighbours such as New Zealand and Australia. 
We add value by improving information flows and policy dialogue. Our model delivers a long overdue, inclusive forum for public debate and engagement in national and regional development matters.

Established under the Vanuatu Charitable Associations (Incorporation) Act [CAP.140] on 21 November 2007, the PiPP is located at:

Your Say

Island nations contribute around 0.4 of total carbon emissions into the atmosphere but are the first to suffer the consequences of global warming. Cartaret Islands and Kiribati and Tuvalu are scheduled to be the next to migrate from their island homes, the identity, and what makes them and their culture unique. I think the issue we need to discuss is the responsibility of the industrialized countries such as the US, China etc… but more specifically NZ and Australia. What is Australia prepared to do? Will they accept climate refugees from Kiribati and Tuvalu or are they going to setup immigration detention centers to process climate refugees like they do to the boat people. - Winston Tarere

Whilst we're part of the Pacific regional solution for asylum seekers/refugees, we are more and more becoming asylums and refugees in our own region because of climate change. - Jacinta Manua

By talking abt it won't help anyone it is time to do something about environmental issues. - Zoya Rahiman
