AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoCOP31: Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine warned that overshooting 1.5°C would bring catastrophic harm to Pacific communities. She urged leaders to replenish climate funds, raise adaptation finance to at least $120 billion a year by 2035 and cut delays in accessing support. Climate Resilience: A new ADB–Green Climate Fund initiative aims to mobilize more than $1 billion for 14 Pacific economies, including stronger roads, water systems and coastal defenses. A separate regional programme will help Marshall Islands communities improve access to clean water and sanitation during disasters. Marine Protection: Research on Bikar and Bokak found thriving reefs, seabird colonies and turtle nesting sites, with two species potentially new to science. The remote atolls are now covered by a 48,000-square-kilometre national marine sanctuary. Low-Carbon Transport: A nine-year German-backed project has wrapped up, leaving the Marshalls with experience in low-emission vessels, maritime training and transport policy.
