Last update: 10 hours agoDeep-sea mining push: A US plan to auction nearby Pacific seabed areas for mining exploration has sparked alarm in island communities, with leaders warning of threats to food security and saying they were caught off guard by “no consultations.” Shipping climate finance: Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu and Vanuatu urged the IMO to make the Net-Zero Fund a “functional requirement” for mid-term greenhouse gas cuts in shipping, arguing the transition must not leave small states behind. Nauru’s climate adaptation funding: Naoero (formerly Nauru) is drawing global attention with a “golden passport” citizenship-by-investment scheme, pitching it as a way to raise money for relocating 90% of families and infrastructure inland as seas rise. Identity and governance: Naoero officially reclaimed its traditional name, with the country code set to shift from NRU to NRO and citizens to be known as dei-Naoero—framed as restoring heritage rather than rebranding.
