Tuvalu culture and memory: Tuvaluans were moved to tears by a film revisiting Nukulaelae’s 1863 blackbirding, and the government says reparation or compensation could be considered; meanwhile, Tuvalu’s first national arts festival has been stretched after rain and rough seas delayed outer-island travel. Climate finance and mobility: A New Zealand-backed regional climate mobility programme was launched to help Pacific people shape decisions about relocation, and Pacific leaders are pushing for a new regional fund ahead of COP31 to back renewable energy, resilience and ocean protection. Geopolitics and energy pressure: Pacific leaders head into the Palau summit facing tough issues on geopolitics, transnational crime and regional unity, with energy security highlighted as fossil-fuel dependence strains budgets—Tuvalu included.
