AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoClimate & Health Governance: Tuvalu PM Feleti Teo said AFP’s report that the Tuvalu Trust Fund—managed by Mercer since 2022—invested in oil and coal is “not a good look,” adding Tuvalu is reviewing the holdings given its high exposure to climate-driven risks like ocean acidification, tropical disease, and rising seas. Food Safety & Nutrition Access: Pacific fisheries officials in Suva trained national competent authorities on new EU freezer-vessel rules (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1449), aimed at preventing unsafe fish freezing that can lead to histamine and scombroid poisoning; the update is expected to affect about 97% of EU-listed Pacific Island-flagged vessels. Water, Power & Community Resilience: An ADB mission met Tuvalu officials to review ongoing projects and future priorities amid pressures from climate change and recent disruptions to power and water services. Youth, Jobs & Health Equity: A Tuvalu youth survey found unemployment is the top driver of poverty (76%), with many also pointing to unequal development between Funafuti and outer islands—an issue that can shape access to healthcare and healthy living. Regional Agrifood Support: Samoa’s EU/FAO-backed Agri-Innovate finale highlighted agribusiness innovation and skills for climate-resilient food systems across Pacific islands.
