AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Energy & Politics: Samoa’s PM Fiamē Naomi Mata’afa says Australia should ban new coal and gas projects as it prepares for COP31, warning fresh fossil projects would undermine climate targets. Local Power & Services: A major blackout hit Upolu, plunging parts of Apia into darkness and disrupting hospital operations and traffic lights, with EPC restoring power to key feeders by nightfall. Economy Watch: The IMF warns Samoa’s post-pandemic recovery has lost momentum, with growth slowing to 0.4% in FY2025/26 and higher oil prices weighing on households, tourism and project delivery. Renewables Push: Sunergise says Samoa could scale up renewable energy to cut reliance on imported diesel, pointing to Niue’s new solar-plus-battery system as a model. Ocean Protection: Former Miss Samoa Moemoana Schwenke urges Pacific Islanders to oppose deep-sea mining, calling it an irreversible threat to Moana ecosystems. Trade & Food Industry: Pacific Trade Invest will bring 15 exporters from eight Pacific economies—including Samoa—to Fine Food Australia 2026, aiming to connect premium food and beverage producers with buyers. Community Events: Arcata’s 42nd Lantern Floating Ceremony at Klopp Lake invites people to remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki and reaffirm a nuclear-free peace focus.
