AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Ocean Conservation Funding: Ahead of the Our Ocean conference in Mombasa (16–18 June), advocates warn the ocean conservation funding gap is widening, with only about 14% of needed international finance reaching conservation—raising stakes for the “30 by 30” push to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030. Climate Diplomacy: 350.org’s Pacific Climate Warriors are urging more Pacific governments to back the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty ahead of the Bonn talks, pointing to Tuvalu, Vanuatu and a wider Pacific bloc already signing on to a just transition away from coal, oil and gas. Fuel Crisis & Policy Pressure: A spike in global oil prices after the US–Iran conflict exposed how exposed Pacific economies remain to imported fuel—fuel shortages and high costs fed inflation and hit tourism—reinforcing calls to speed up renewable energy delivery, not just set targets. Tuna & Government Services: Pacific countries are rolling out a climate warning system under the Green Climate Fund Regional Tuna Programme to track tuna shifts beyond national waters, aiming to protect fisheries income that funds schools, hospitals and other core services. Regional Security & Patrols: New Zealand supported Cook Islands maritime surveillance in May, backing fisheries patrols and later air searches for suspected breaches and serious organised crime in the region. Pacific-led Regionalism: Australia and New Zealand reaffirmed support for Pacific Islands Forum-led regionalism, climate action and security cooperation ahead of the 55th PIF Leaders’ Meeting in Palau. Niue Link (Diplomacy): Israel’s expanding Pacific diplomacy includes full relations with Niue, alongside other island states, as it opens a representative office in Papua New Guinea. Local Relevance (Governance & Capacity): EU-backed training in Suva targets Pacific food safety compliance for freezer vessels to help maintain access to the EU seafood market.
