AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Pacific Islands Forum in Palau: Leaders head to the 55th PIF meeting with climate, unity, crime and geopolitics on the agenda, as major powers compete for influence and ocean resources. Climate pressure on Australia: Palau’s President Surangel Whipps Jr is expected to push Australia hard on emissions, including calls to phase out coal and gas and stop new fossil projects. Energy and renewables push: A new UNSW report says Pacific nations could save nearly US$700m a year by replacing diesel with solar, batteries and grid upgrades—cutting fuel import costs that currently drain 10–25% of GDP in some places. Pacific resilience funding: Leaders are also seeking backing for a new Pacific Resilience Facility model ahead of COP31, aimed at renewable energy, community resilience and ocean protection. Taiwan’s return to PIF events: The US backs Taiwan’s continued participation, while Taiwan’s foreign minister attends Palau events including the Pacific Prosperity Exhibit, highlighting cooperation in low-carbon energy, smart agriculture, digital resilience and infrastructure. Shipping decarbonisation talks: IMO net-zero negotiations resume with carbon pricing and framework changes still contested—important for Pacific shipping and logistics costs. Tourism and COP31 prep: Fiji says its tourism industry is ready for the Pre-COP31 summit in Nadi, with Tuvalu set to host a special leaders’ component before COP31.
