AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoRising Seas: A new Commonwealth report says sea levels around Tuvalu are rising about 5 mm a year. With the entire population living within one kilometre of the ocean, it warns that existing coastal protections may no longer be designed for local conditions. Climate Resilience: The Asian Development Bank’s new five-year Pacific strategy includes Tuvalu and promises more flexible support for climate resilience, infrastructure and essential services. Reef Research: A 120-year study of Funafuti found the reef flat remained remarkably stable despite rising seas and major storms; waves moved storm-deposited coral rubble towards the island, raising its ridge by about 1.4 metres. Health Planning: WHO says seven Pacific countries have yet to include health in their national climate plans, leaving services exposed to climate risks as funding and staffing pressures grow.
