The GCF has approved US$250 million in grants. The investment is especially urgent for Samoa, where much of the population and infrastructure is in low-lying coastal areas. Energy Security: Pacific fuel costs reached NZ$935 million in the first six months of the crisis, briefings to New Zealand officials say. The reports point to renewable power and energy efficiency as ways to cut reliance on imported fuel. Agriculture: A Samoa-China project farm reported a successful watermelon harvest, but said Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries approval is required before staff can discuss it with media.
