Last update: 6 hours agoFossil-fuel transition: Santa Marta’s first global conference on phasing out oil, gas and coal shifted the debate from “whether” to “how,” but the hard part starts now: turning pledges into fair, practical steps—especially around finance and participation—while legal and investment barriers loom large. Energy politics: The summit also exposed a split between grassroots pushback against “false solutions” and a more technocratic, market-led approach that leans on hydrogen, nuclear, carbon capture and trading. Pacific ripple effects: As the World Bank warns Pacific growth is slowing under fuel costs, debt and repeated shocks, Australia’s Pacific aid rises only slightly in nominal terms while shrinking in real value. Tuvalu on the global stage: Tuvalu’s Health Minister backed Taiwan’s bid to be included in the World Health Assembly, highlighting continued Pacific advocacy for recognition and health cooperation. Culture & community: Rotuman language week in Aotearoa spotlights Pacific identity—while Tuvalu’s own Language Week is set for late September.
