Last update: 6 hours agoSea-level rise and statehood: Tuvalu PM Feleti Teo told the UN General Assembly that rising seas are a “present reality,” pointing to coastal adaptation that has reclaimed 15.3 hectares on Funafuti (with 10 more underway) and welcoming a UN political declaration that protects continuity of statehood and maritime rights. Pre-COP31 in Fiji and Tuvalu: Pacific leaders are gearing up for October’s Pre-COP, with Fiji positioning Nadi as a hub and Tuvalu set to host leaders’ events on 5–6 October; media teams will broadcast Pacific climate stories across 30 TV channels, and weather uncertainty has postponed the Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia voyage to Fiji and Tuvalu. Climate justice push: Pacific civil society issued “The Funafuti Call for Climate Justice,” demanding an immediate stop to new coal, oil and gas expansion and stronger loss-and-damage action, while Pacific editors adopted a Savusavu declaration calling for better access to loss-and-damage information. Climate finance reform: Kiribati is backing a “re-engineered” climate finance mechanism to speed up adaptation funding—approved works first, independent verification, then reimbursement within 90 days.
