AGP Executive Report
Last update: a minute agoPacific Islands Forum in Palau: The 55th PIF leaders meeting gets underway in Koror, with geopolitics already disrupting unity as Kiribati’s president and Naoero’s president face last-minute attendance questions. Climate and energy pressure: Leaders are expected to press Australia hard on emissions and fossil-fuel plans, while Pacific governments push for stronger climate action and practical support. Tuvalu’s cultural and climate resilience: Tuvaluans are moved by a film revisiting Nukulaelae blackbirding, and the Fakaapo Tuvalu Arts Festival is extending after rain and rough seas delayed outer-island travel. Taiwan returns to PIF events: The US backs Taiwan’s continued participation, and Taiwan’s foreign minister is in Palau for the Pacific Prosperity Exhibit and PIF-related dialogue—despite Beijing objections. COP31 prep: PIF leaders are working to boost attendance at pre-COP meetings in Fiji and Tuvalu, and to build support for a new Pacific Resilience Facility ahead of COP31.
