Last update: 11 hours agoClimate Research: A century of surveys found Funafuti’s reef flat remained remarkably stable despite about 45cm of sea-level rise. Storm-driven coral rubble helped raise the island ridge by about 1.4 metres, challenging the idea that rising seas inevitably destabilise reef islands. Regional Security: Pacific police chiefs have launched PACPOL to coordinate action against cross-border crime. Tuvalu Police Commissioner Matatia Makaili was elected deputy chair. Energy Costs: The ADB approved $11.94 million for Tuvalu to help ease rising fuel costs, maintain essential services and support about 6,000 people in low-income households. Education: Tuvalu Governor-General Temukisa Auina Penehuro Hauma has become the University of the South Pacific’s 34th chancellor, strengthening the country’s ties with the regional university. Shipping Links: Tuvalu has taken the chair of the Central Pacific Shipping Commission and will host its annual meeting next year, as members work to improve reliable shipping across remote island routes.
