Loss and Damage in Majuro: The Marshall Islands is hosting the Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) Executive Committee meeting from 14–18 September, bringing global climate officials to see firsthand how rising seas, extreme weather, and ecosystem damage are hitting frontline communities—so discussions move beyond “reports on paper” to real losses of homes, land, and livelihoods. Ocean policy push: Pacific Islands Forum leaders adopted a new Ocean Statement calling for urgent climate action, stronger fisheries management, and Pacific-led financing to protect the “Blue Pacific,” warning that biodiversity loss, pollution, and illegal fishing are piling pressure on the region’s ocean. Maritime safety gap: Governments are being urged to close a regulatory loophole in shipping containerised cargoes of small lithium batteries, after concerns that thousands can move without being properly declared as dangerous goods. Coral hope for reefs: Reporting highlights “super reefs” in the Marshall Islands and beyond, where a larger share of coral appears climate-resilient—fueling plans for marine protected area corridors. Regional weather resilience: Pacific meteorological services are strengthening early warning and climate information systems through PMC-8, with countries sharing progress on multi-hazard centres and faster forecasting. CNMI fisheries/deep-sea mining: The Micronesian Islands Forum backed CNMI’s push for sustainable commercial fisheries and more scientific data before moving ahead with deep-sea mining.
