Journalism Grants: Niue-based journalists are eligible for one of six US$2,500 grants to investigate corruption, transparency and accountability across the Pacific — a boost for local public-interest reporting. Climate Finance: SPC secured US$129.9 million in climate funding approvals in 2025, including US$107 million to help tuna-dependent Pacific communities and economies adapt; the funding is regional, with no specific Niue allocation reported. Fisheries and Weather: A strong El Niño could disrupt tuna fishing into 2027 and bring reduced rainfall to Niue, raising risks for fisheries and the wider economy. Pacific fishers also face shifting fish stocks, dangerous weather and gaps in funding for community-led conservation.
