Climate change presents an urgent and complex issue in the Pacific region, where global and regional frameworks provide strategic direction but lack practical guidance for implementation. This gap underscores the critical role of civil society organizations (CSOs), which often act as intermediaries translating high-level ambitions into locally grounded action. This research takes a qualitative approach, collaborating with five CSOs working across the Pacific. Through undertaking peer review of guidance documents, focus group discussions and interviews, the research identifies the drivers of successful climate action integration: strong leadership, organizational commitment, adaptive learning and peer-to-peer knowledge exchange. These approaches enable CSOs to advance global and regional priorities for resilience while fostering inclusive governance. However, persistent challenges such as limited contextualized guidance delivered in relational ways, the need for co-design that recognizes diverse knowledge systems and funding constraints continue to hinder progress. The paper sets out strategic entry points for donors and development partners, including flexible financing mechanisms, partnerships with faith-based organizations, improved guidance for CSOs and knowledge-sharing platforms. By addressing barriers and leveraging strengths and entry points, this research offers actionable insights to support CSO-led climate-resilient development in the Pacific and contribute meaningfully to global frameworks
