Last update: 5 hours agoDeep-Sea Mining Backlash: A US plan to auction nearby seabed blocks for deep-sea mining has sparked anger across Pacific territories, with leaders saying there were “no consultations” and warning of threats to food security and ocean livelihoods. Shipping Decarbonisation: Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu and Vanuatu urged the IMO to treat the Net-Zero Fund as a “functional requirement” for mid-term shipping emissions cuts, arguing the transition must not leave small states behind. Nauru Identity & Codes: Nauru has officially become the Republic of Naoero, with the international code shifting from NRU to NRO and citizens now called dei-Naoero—framed as restoring indigenous identity rather than a rebrand. Climate-Linked Finance: Naoero’s “golden passport” citizenship-by-investment offer (from $90,000) is tied to funding climate relocation, including moving most families and infrastructure inland. Food & Exports: Fiji’s PIDF deal with New Valley Processors aims to connect contracted farmers to fresh-produce export markets, including Naoero, to boost food security and production. Tourism Trade Push: SPTO and PTI Australia promoted Naoero and other “Hidden Treasures” destinations at Australia’s 2026 roadshow, building links with travel trade partners.
