Last update: 6 hours agoTuvalu at UN SDG Forum: Deputy PM and Finance Minister Panapasi Nelesone told the UN High-Level Political Forum that Tuvalu’s development goals can’t be met without faster climate finance and reforms to the global financial system, warning sea-level rise, droughts and shocks are widening the gap between promises and capacity. Operation Render Safe (Nanumea): Australia’s underwater survey found dozens of unexploded WWII bombs and other ordnance in Nanumea Lagoon, but said there’s a very low immediate threat to residents; removal is recommended as corroding ordnance could pose environmental risks over time. Maritime security & illegal fishing: Tuvalu Police, with Sea Shepherd, detained a Chinese longliner (Lu Rong Yuan Yu 138) after alleged night fishing without navigation lights, expired permits, and “spoofing” AIS data; police also reported sharks discarded without logbook records. Commonwealth Games (Tuvalu athletes): Tuvalu boxers Tarona and Pasoni Taafaki are in camp in Ireland ahead of Glasgow 2026, aiming to represent Tuvalu on the world stage. Pacific climate talks: Pacific climate ministers met ahead of Talanoa discussions and major upcoming regional and global negotiations, with Tuvalu flagged for Pre-COP31 planning.
