AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Sustainable Tourism Reform (Vanuatu): Vanuatu’s Department of Tourism kicked off a two-day consultation in Luganville to modernise tourism governance, with support from SPTO, SPREP and EU SWITCH-Asia Pacific’s STEP programme, aiming for a tourism sector that works for communities and the environment. Biodiversity Protection (Vanuatu): Vanuatu spotlighted its new National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), focusing on invasive species control and stronger community-led resource management, including both government-registered conservation areas and customary systems. Ocean Innovation (Vanuatu): At the Pacific Innovation Forum in Port Vila, Pacific entrepreneurs showcased climate and environment solutions—eco-concrete and grass-based soil stabilisation took top awards, including an eco-concrete pitch using Pacific waste. Ocean Governance (Vanuatu youth): Three young women working through the Pacific Early Ocean Career Professionals (ECOP) programme are helping bring science, policy and traditional knowledge together inside Vanuatu’s ocean and maritime priorities. Triple Planetary Crisis (Pacific youth): Emerging Pacific leaders gathered in Port Vila to push solutions across climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, stressing that young people are already living with the impacts. Nature-based Flood Resilience (Australia): A cattle farmer planted 14,000 trees to stabilise creek banks and slow floodwater—another reminder that ecosystem restoration can reduce disaster risk. Climate & Reefs (South-West Pacific): A WMO report says the South-West Pacific is warming and becoming more acidic, with marine heatwaves and sea-level rise threatening fisheries and coastal communities. Security vs Environment (Pacific): Vanuatu condemned China’s nuclear-capable missile test in the South Pacific Nuclear-Free Zone, warning it undermines peace and the nuclear-free Pacific—while regional leaders debate how militarisation and climate risks intersect. Pacific Diplomacy (Australia–Vanuatu–Fiji): Australia and Vanuatu signed the Nakamal Agreement to block foreign military bases on Vanuatu’s critical infrastructure, as Australia and Fiji advanced the Ocean of Peace Alliance amid heightened missile-test tensions. Menstrual Health & Disaster Prep (Pacific): Advocates in Fiji urged that menstrual health be treated as essential disaster preparedness, saying “biology doesn’t pause for a cyclone warning.” Ocean Warming Impacts (Pacific): Reports highlighted how ocean heat and shifting marine life patterns are already affecting livelihoods, from coral stress to changing fish movements.
