AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoNature-based climate resilience: Vanuatu has officially launched three policy tools under the PPIN project to help plug nature-based solutions into national adaptation planning, coastal resilience, and forestry decisions—positioning forests, mangroves, reefs, and seagrass as real “infrastructure” for protecting people and livelihoods. Regional climate cooperation: At the inaugural Pacific Climate Summit, Vanuatu joined partners including Fiji and Hawaiʻi to push stronger regional action on climate adaptation and resilience, with a joint commitment to scale practical solutions across island communities. Plastic pollution push: Pacific voices are heading into global plastic pollution talks in Nairobi, backing a legally binding path to cut marine plastic waste and highlighting the scale of the problem for ocean-dependent island states. Water security data: A new global map shows where safely managed drinking water is still out of reach—useful context for Vanuatu’s own resilience and public health planning. Pacific security deal with environmental knock-ons: Australia and Vanuatu signed the Nakamal Agreement, barring foreign military bases and requiring critical infrastructure to stay free from militarisation and unauthorised access, while also setting consultation rules for third-party engagement.
