Climate & Health Risk: ChildFund New Zealand is warning Pacific communities already hit by fuel shortages to prepare for a strong El Niño, which could mean drought in some places, heavier rain in others, and added pressure on safe drinking water, food supplies and children’s health. Nutrition & Food Security: The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency and the Pacific Community launched “Tuna Bites” for World Tuna Day and Pacific Tuna Month, featuring a country-by-country tuna dish competition in Niue and other Pacific nations to spotlight tuna as a key protein source. Local Energy for Health: Sunergise won a SEANZ Trailblazer Award, citing a solar-plus-battery project on Niue aimed at reaching an 80% renewable energy target, alongside major renewable installations elsewhere in the Pacific.
