The GAP Summit on Shared Identity took place on 23 September 2022, bringing together 120 senior representatives from business, government, academia and the not-for-profit sector across 18 countries. A diverse range of Australian and international thought leaders discussed the concept of shared identity and Australia’s relations in the Pacific. Participants offered their personal perspectives on related national and international issues, including the urgent threat of climate change, the power of education, and the ‘brain drain’ of Pacific talent to the Australian labour market. The Summit proposed several recommendations to progress over the coming year, including a radical rethink of traditional governance and economic models, to be discussed at a future GAP event.
