AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoClimate & Health Governance: Tuvalu’s Prime Minister Feleti Teo said AFP’s report that the Tuvalu Trust Fund—managed by Mercer—invested in oil and coal is “not a good look,” noting Tuvalu is reviewing the holdings given its strong climate advocacy and high exposure to climate-driven health risks. Food Safety & Disease Prevention: Pacific fisheries officials in Suva trained on EU Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1449, aimed at preventing unsafe tuna linked to histamine (“scombroid poisoning”) when freezing fails to meet colder brine standards; the rule could affect about 97% of EU-listed Pacific freezer vessels exporting to the bloc. Youth Wellbeing & Access to Services: A Tuvalu youth survey found unemployment is the top driver of poverty (76%), with many pointing to unequal development between Funafuti and outer islands—where access to jobs and key services like the main hospital is concentrated. Clean Water & Power Reliability: An ADB mission with Tuvalu officials reviewed progress and priorities amid ongoing pressures on clean water, power disruptions, outer-island shipping, and reef protection that underpin food security. Regional Health Support: India’s external affairs minister highlighted delivery of a haemo-dialysis machine with a portable RO unit to Samoa under FIPIC-III, continuing dialysis support for Pacific health systems.
