Talanoa Dialogue

The Talanoa Dialogue is a process used in international climate negotiations to promote open, honest conversations about climate change. It encourages countries and stakeholders to share experiences, challenges, and ideas in a respectful and inclusive way. Originating from Pacific Island traditions, it emphasizes trust, transparency, and collaboration. The goal is to build consensus and stronger commitments to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts, ultimately helping to keep global temperature rise below dangerous levels. This dialogue fosters understanding and collective action by creating a space where everyone’s perspectives are valued and heard.
