Last update: 5 hours agoPacific Tourism & Trade: The Treasures of the South Pacific Roadshow is drawing big interest from Australia’s travel trade, with the Solomon Islands pushing its “Hidden Treasures” push that also includes Tuvalu and other smaller Pacific destinations. Country Identity & Soft Power: Nauru has formally renamed itself the Republic of Naoero, updating its international code (NRU→NRO) and branding its people as dei-Naoero—an effort to reclaim indigenous spelling and pronunciation. Shipping Decarbonisation: Tuvalu is backing tougher IMO net-zero rules, including higher remedial unit prices and a revised compliance path, while Pacific states argue the IMO Net-Zero Fund is essential so the transition doesn’t leave small economies behind. Climate Adaptation & Resilience: Fiji’s climate response is being strengthened with science support from the Pacific Community, including modelling sea-level impacts for Tuvalu to guide adaptation planning. Regional Security Diplomacy: Australia is urging stronger Pacific regionalism at foreign ministers’ talks, while Tuvalu’s region remains focused on destabilising missile activity and broader security cooperation. Energy Access: Fiji’s Solar Scholars trained community staff to install solar PV for disaster response continuity—keeping key services running during outages.
