Last update: an hour agoClimate Finance & Health Risks: An AFP investigation says Tuvalu’s $200m climate trust fund—managed by Mercer—has fossil-fuel exposure via coal, gas, and a major crude oil refinery, prompting Tuvalu to review the risk as the country faces sea-level rise and climate-linked health pressures like flooding and disease. Ocean & Food Security: A new analysis warns that Super El Niño events can disrupt marine ecosystems and fisheries through warmer seas, weaker upwelling, and lower plankton productivity—threatening food security and livelihoods for island communities.
