Ocean conservation funding: Ahead of the Our Ocean conference (16–18 June) in Mombasa, a major gap is highlighted: only about 14% of international conservation money reaches the ocean, even as countries aim for “30 by 30” biodiversity targets. Climate & nutrition security: Pacific nations are moving to protect tuna-dependent food and livelihoods as skipjack increasingly shifts beyond EEZs; a Green Climate Fund-backed Advanced Warning System is being developed to help governments plan for climate-driven changes. Food safety & exports: Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu officials trained in Suva on new EU freezer-vessel requirements (Delegated Regulation EU 2025/1449), meant to keep Pacific seafood exports meeting standards after concerns about reaching required temperatures. Local agribusiness innovation: Samoa’s Agri-Innovate Competition finale (EU/FAO STODAS project) showcased new agrifood entrepreneurs, supporting MSMEs that can strengthen local food systems and resilience.
