Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the ongoing trends in economic growth and sustainable development policies in the Pacific. The importance of contextualizing country differences through the lens of their own historical circumstance and development priorities are key to understanding the development trajectories. Amid the climate emergencies and post-COVID-19 pandemic recoveries, the analysis indicates that countries can balance their economic growth vis-à-vis sustainable development opportunities, while taking full advantage of their growing voice in regional and international platforms. The opportunities of regional cooperation and solidarity are at the heart of ensuring implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
