We need to move past looking purely at the economic costs of the climate crises and consider the non-economic costs which are as equally (if not more) important—loss of culture, loss of ancestral lands, loss of tradition…
Coastal communities who are being forced inland are experiencing a loss in knowledge, a disconnect with their land and are having to pay for a majority of their relocation costs.
We need real action around loss and damage.

Went to the physio today because I’ve been having issues with my wrist for a couple of weeks, only to be told it’s hyper flexible(?) and I need to stop twisting it so much.
All I heard was that my wrist was too limp and I needed to be more careful with it. 🤣

We cannot invoke international law to defend our Pacific islands while ignoring it elsewhere.

As the UN votes on the question of New Caledonia as part of the Fourth Committee decolonisation mandate, only the United States and Israel vote No - even France and the UK had the grace to abstain. The US has called for the abolition of the UN Special Committee on Decolonisation

The decolonization of the Pacific is complete, even the independent nations still need revolutions. This is the true representation of the “ocean of peace” initiative, its peace for genociders not for the people

Climate change threatens to create more uprooted peoples in the Pacific, so this article looks at indigeneity as experienced by two minority populations in Fiji: people from Rotuma, and Banabans who relocated from Kiribati due to resource over-extraction.

Reading this report alongside the UK’s Jackdaw gas field approval and recent coal approvals in Australia is deeply frustrating.
We keep TALKING about climate ambition while approving the very things that drive and deepen the crisis.
UNEP’s latest Emissions Gap Report warns we’re heading towards 2.8°C of warming under current policies.
The solutions to cut emissions already exist. What’s missing is the political will to deliver them.

So the pre-COP has been and gone, with many questions about the gap between rhetoric and reality. Forum members reiterated calls for access and efficiency in climate finance, and a rapid transition away from fossil fuels (a pointed message to organiser Australia). Some notes…

This report from the conservative Heritage Foundation is a striking example of an America First / MAGA view of the Pacific islands – some insights into how Washington think tanks justify US commercial and security policy but ignore Blue Pacific priorities.

The problem for Pink and Ed Sheeran now is that every time they sing about a better world, kindness or empathy, no one will believe them.

What kinda democratic “for the people, by the people” Constitution has the CRC come up with that we are keeping it so secretive.

The potential absence of three other leaders - Rabuka (Fiji), Adeang (Naoero) and Schmidt (Samoa) - at this year's #55PIFLM is very unfortunate at a time when regionalism is very much under pressure.
There has been considerable concern that divisions within Forum ranks are deepening again. The news that 🇰🇮 Kiribati will be represented at #55PIFLM by an official only is incredibly disappointing at a time when regional unity is under pressure. This deliberate move by 🇰🇮 comes after efforts by President Maamau to change to constitution to only recognise 🇨🇳 China (Kiribati has switched recognition to 🇹🇼 previously).
