Climate Resilience: The ADB and Green Climate Fund have launched a programme aiming to mobilise more than US$1 billion across 14 Pacific economies for safer roads, water supplies and coastal protection. The funding could strengthen infrastructure vital to island communities and businesses. Fuel Costs: Pacific fuel imports added NZ$935 million in costs in the first six months of the crisis, according to briefings to New Zealand officials. The briefings point to renewable power and energy efficiency as ways to reduce the region’s exposure to imported fuel. Climate Finance: Niue is among the Pacific nations at COP31 pressing for climate funding that is prompt and accessible. Leaders say delayed finance shifts the costs of recovery and resilience onto island budgets and families.
