AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoIdentity & Governance: Nauru has officially become the Republic of Naoero, with President David Adeang confirming the constitutional change is now in effect and the planned referendum dropped; the country code is set to move from NRU to NRO and citizens will be known as dei-Naoero, with officials saying “Naoero” is the traditional name long used locally and “Nauru” was a colonial convenience for foreign pronunciation. Climate Adaptation Funding: Naoero’s “golden passport” citizenship-by-investment programme is drawing global attention as it links new nationality offers to climate resilience money, with proceeds aimed at relocating about 90% of families and infrastructure to higher ground as sea levels and flooding risks rise. Pacific Power & Pressure: Analysts warn China is shifting tactics in the Pacific toward more targeted, locally focused influence as finances tighten, even as it keeps a strong diplomatic footprint. Ocean Policy Watch: The deep-sea minerals debate continues to evolve, with Naoero still pushing for commercial mining through the International Seabed Authority while others press for stronger safeguards and a “do no harm” approach.
