AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoClimate-Resilient “Super Reefs”: New research finds nearly one-third of the world’s coral reefs may be more heat-tolerant than previously thought, offering hope for protecting fragile ecosystems. Reporting from the Marshall Islands, Kiribati and Tuvalu highlights plans to link these “super reefs” with marine protected area corridors. Ocean Heat Record: Scientists say the seas have logged 100 straight days of record average heat, with impacts showing up in how marine life shifts or disappears as waters warm. Kiribati UXO Clearance: More than 400 WWII unexploded ordnance pieces are being removed from Betio, Tarawa, with NZDF support to transport explosives to an isolated sandbar for safe disposal—aimed at reducing long-standing risks to residents. Pacific Sea-Level Reality Check: Experts warn some regional sea-level planning may rely on flawed land-elevation assumptions, and UN overshoot pathways mean higher seas and flooding risk will continue. El Niño Warning for Kiribati and neighbours: A strengthening El Niño is expected to bring drought in some areas and heavier rain in others, raising pressure on drinking water, food and children’s health amid existing fuel and cost stresses.
