Climate change impact

FFA convenes talks on impacts of climate change on tuna

The meeting is part of the Secretariat’s work programme emanating from Forum Fisheries Ministers.  At their meeting held in Pohnpei, FSM in June 2019, Ministers agreed that this work would include:

(i) adaptive management regimes (ii) working with a consortium of partners to secure maritime boundaries in the face of sea-level rise and (iii) managing tuna stocks to support their contribution to the food security of Pacific Island communities.

Pacific central banks cooperate on climate change

The effort will involve the Network for Greening the Financial System, an international group of central banks co-ordinating work on climate change and fostering investment in green technology.

The Reserve Bank and eight other central banks in Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tonga and Vanuatu have also started a project to find ways to boost access to cheaper capital flows.
