Melanesian Oceans Summit: Tonga’s PM Lord Fakafanua urged Pacific unity on ocean protection, warning climate impacts like sea-level rise, coral bleaching and stronger cyclones don’t stop at borders. Vanuatu’s PM Jotham Napat backed the push for courage and cooperation, while Solomon Islands said it will not endorse a “moral declaration,” arguing for indigenous governance and constitutional process. Climate costs: Solomon Islands’ Ministry says climate-related loss and damage is draining about US$79m a year—nearly 9% of GDP—highlighting the growing fight over “loss and damage” funding. Economy outlook: The World Bank warns growth across 11 Pacific countries will slow to 2.8% in 2026 as energy and shipping costs bite and tourism momentum cools. Disaster fallout: In Solomon Islands, Cyclone Maila’s aftermath is worsening emergencies, with displacement continuing and WWII unexploded bombs surfacing after flooding and erosion. Politics: Solomon Islands parliament is set to elect a new prime minister on Friday, with three nominees—Peter Shanel Agovaka, Manasseh Maelanga and Matthew Wale—vying for the top job.
