The attacks raise fresh concerns for commercial shipping and Palau’s role as a vessel flag state. Climate Finance: Fiji, Ireland, the Netherlands and Denmark pledged about $15 million to the Pacific Resilience Facility, bringing its funds to just under $200 million—well short of its $500 million target for after COP31.
