  A look back at the major news stories out of the region in 2024.

In 2024, the Pacific region experienced significant events and developments as reported by RNZ Pacific. The year was marked by the Pacific Islands Forum leaders' meeting in Tonga, where discussions focused on climate change, regional security, and economic cooperation. A notable highlight was the historic visit of US President Joe Biden to Papua New Guinea, signaling increased US engagement in the region amid growing geopolitical tensions with China. Additionally, natural disasters such as cyclones and earthquakes continued to challenge the resilience of Pacific nations, prompting international aid and calls for enhanced climate action. The year also saw progress in gender equality with several countries implementing new policies to empower women and address gender-based violence. Overall, 2024 was a year of both challenges and advancements for the Pacific, with a strong emphasis on regional collaboration and global partnerships.
