Pacific leaders have launched their "bold vision" which they hope will "create transformational partnerships" for the region.
 
Leaders unveiled the 'Blue Pacific Prosperity' initiative on the side-lines of the UN climate talks in Dubai in the weekend. The initiative is a commitment to protect the ocean, make sure people have food to eat and ensure climate finance is accessible.
