Last update: 6 hours agoPacific Pre-COP31 in Fiji and Tuvalu: More than 50 countries are meeting in Nadi as Pacific leaders push for keeping 1.5°C within reach, faster climate finance, and stronger ocean protection ahead of COP31 in Türkiye. Tuvalu frontline: Leaders are set to visit Tuvalu, where scientists say a 2024 marine heatwave wiped out about 99.9% of coral and rising seas are already swamping atolls. Climate finance and delivery: Fiji’s Lynda Tabuya says finance is not flowing fast enough and urges communities to share how long they’ve waited for seawalls, water systems and solar minigrids. Extreme heat and health: UN climate chief Simon Stiell warns extreme heat is becoming a “new faultline” for pregnant women and newborns. Energy transition pressure: Australia faces scrutiny over coal and fossil fuel expansion even as it announces renewable support, including a $7.29m package and a $1m solar push for remote schools. Who shows up: Critics say the guest list is thin, with only two non-Pacific leaders confirmed for Tuvalu. Local economic resilience: Tuvalu PM Feleti Teo calls for building an economy that can handle fuel price shocks and import dependence, including investment and consumer protection reforms.
