AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoClimate Watch: The WMO says there’s an 80% chance El Niño forms before September (rising to 90% from July–November), with impacts that can mean heavier rain in some places and drought/heat risk in others—an extra stress on already climate-changed Pacific islands, including Kiribati. Tourism & Sustainability: The Pacific Tourism Organisation and Niue Tourism Office released the 2024 International Visitor Survey (via New Zealand-funded PTDI), highlighting visitor sources and preferences to help shape more resilient, sustainable tourism planning across Pacific destinations like Kiribati. Media for Resilience: SPREP is backing a regional media capacity push to help Pacific journalists report weather and climate for community preparedness, linking reporting skills with upcoming Pacific meteorology meetings in Tonga. Marine Protection: A new World Trade Organization Fisheries Subsidies deal (Fish 1) is already in force, targeting IUU fishing and overfished stocks—while the next phase (Fish 2) could be weakened if key countries stall, with big stakes for Pacific fisheries and livelihoods. Climate Mobility & Rights: A new analysis links climate change to statelessness risks, arguing governments must activate protections as climate-driven movement becomes more real.
