Modelling Climate Change Impacts to Shape Tonga’s Economic Future
October 29, 2025
The Tonga Ministry of Finance (MoF) hosted an inaugural workshop on Modelling Climate Change Impacts on Growth and the Economy to inform just transition measures.
Held from 14–16 October, the event brought together representatives from the National Reserve Bank of Tonga, the National Planning Division, the Tonga Statistics Department, and the Department of Climate Change. The concept of a “just transition” refers to ensuring a shift toward a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy that is fair and inclusive for all.
Bringing together government technical experts, the workshop allowed participants to explore a new analytical framework that simulates how climate change has impacted, and will impact, Tonga’s economy.
The workshop was held in partnership with the UNDP Climate Finance Network and Gov4Res Project.
