AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoPacific Climate Diplomacy: Pacific “Climate Champions” met in Nadi, Fiji to align regional leadership and push an ambitious, fair agenda into COP31, with Pre-COP meetings planned in Fiji and Tuvalu ahead of Antalya in November. Just Transition Rule of Law: UNEP says countries are turning “just transition” promises into laws, policies, institutions and even court decisions—arguing climate action must be fair, rights-based, and protect workers and future generations. World Leaders Urged to Come to the Pacific: Australia’s Penny Wong backed Fiji and Tuvalu’s push for global leaders to attend Pre-COP31, saying they must see climate impacts firsthand; reports suggest attendance may be hard, with options like sending ministers under discussion. Shipping Emissions Fight: Tuvalu is pushing the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework toward stronger action—keeping base targets, dropping a 2028 step, and raising remedial unit prices—while Pacific states stress the IMO Net-Zero Fund is essential for a just transition. Tuvalu Frontline Pressure: Tuvalu’s climate vulnerability is also driving migration policy attention, with Australia’s Tuvalu climate visa drawing massive interest (over 80% of the population registering). Science for Adaptation: Fiji’s environment minister highlighted how climate science and ocean, fisheries and agriculture research are supporting Pacific resilience planning, including tools showing sea-level rise impacts for Tuvalu.
