Recommendations
1. Commit to establishing or strengthening
national mechanisms that support the
development and implementation of
green–blue economies, and that provides a
clear link to the work of PIDF.
2. PIDF provides a convergence point for the
development of a Pacific Green Growth
Framework, supporting national responses
and aligning regional support.
