Climate & Resilience Funding: Niue is among countries set to receive over USD 67 million in new support through the Least Developed Countries Fund and Special Climate Change Fund, with projects aimed at reducing flood and coastal risks, boosting food and water security, and protecting ecosystems, alongside nearly USD 218 million in co-financing. Food Safety for Pacific Exports: EU officials and Pacific national authorities met in Suva for training on new EU freezer-vessel food safety requirements, expected to affect about 97% of EU-listed Pacific Island-flagged vessels exporting to the EU, after EU auditors found freezer vessels failing to consistently reach required brine temperatures. Regional Agrifood Innovation: Samoa’s Agri-Innovate Competition 2026 wrapped up in Apia, backed by EU funding via FAO’s STODAS project, supporting agrifood entrepreneurs and agribusinesses across Fiji, Samoa, and Solomon Islands. Forestry Capacity for Climate Resilience: Samoa forestry officers completed FAO-supported training in Suva on sustainable teak and pine production, focusing on seed propagation and sustainable harvesting to close technical and data gaps linked to climate pressures.
