AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Energy & Climate Policy: Samoa’s Prime Minister Fiamē Naomi Mata’afa says Australia should ban new coal and gas projects ahead of COP31, warning fresh fossil-fuel developments would undermine climate targets and hit the region’s biggest threat—climate change. Public Finance 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. Power & Infrastructure: A major blackout hit Upolu, plunging areas into darkness and disrupting hospital operations, traffic lights, and businesses while EPC worked to restore the 33-kilovolt network. Renewables Push: Niue’s new solar plus battery storage system is being held up as a model for Samoa to cut diesel reliance, with Sunergise saying more renewable investment is the path forward. Ocean Protection: UNICEF Pacific Ambassador Moemoana Schwenke urges Pacific Islanders to oppose deep-sea mining, calling it an irreversible threat to ecosystems and Pacific identity. Trade & Food Exports: Pacific Trade Invest Australia will bring 15 exporters from eight Pacific economies—including Samoa—to Fine Food Australia 2026 to connect premium food and beverage producers with buyers. Human Rights at Sea: A Busan case highlights alleged trafficking of a seafarer tied to deep-sea fishing operations, with authorities reviewing the probe after a confinement-related fall.
