CROP agencies have been working collectively to deliver on Forum Leaders’ decisions and commitments, in support of the vision and objectives of the Framework for Pacific Regionalism. Overarching this collective approach has been the Blue Pacific narrative which has been used in policy papers, communications, and international engagements to promote the collective strengths and action of the Pacific region. 

In 2017/2018, CROP coordination and collaboration has focused on the following Leaders’ priorities and commitments:

•    Climate change and resilience        

•    Fisheries          

•    Sustainable ocean management and conservation      

•    Sustainable Development Goals/SAMOA Pathway      

•    Regional security          

•    Regional governance and financing.

This report provides a snapshot of progress and key achievements to deliver on these regional priorities.
