AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCitizenship-by-investment surge: Nauru—now officially the Republic of Naoero—says global instability is driving more interest in its climate-linked “golden passport” scheme, with applicants citing insecurity in Europe and the US and a desire to support Naoero’s sustainable development and resilience work. Identity shift: Naoero formally reclaimed its traditional name and pronunciation (“Now-ero”), with the international code set to move from NRU to NRO and citizens to be known as dei-Naoero—framing it as restoring heritage rather than rebranding. Deep-sea mining backlash: Pacific leaders and communities are alarmed by US plans to auction nearby seabed areas for deep-sea mining exploration, warning of food security risks and saying there were “no consultations.” Shipping climate finance: Nauru joined other Pacific states urging the IMO to treat an “Net-Zero Fund” as essential for fair, just transition support in mid-term shipping emissions cuts. Regional diplomacy & climate stakes: Taiwan is set to attend the Pacific leaders meeting in Palau after China-related protests last year, while Nauru and others are watching how regional unity holds on security and climate priorities.
