AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoClimate Investment: ADB, the Green Climate Fund and Palau and Cook Islands governments launched a program seeking more than US$1 billion for climate-resilient roads, water systems, power and coastal defenses across 14 Pacific economies. The GCF approved US$250 million, but a separate COP31 fundraising event brought no new pledges to the Pacific Resilience Facility, which remains more than US$300 million short of its initial target. Energy Costs: The Pacific fuel crisis added NZ$935 million in costs in its first six months, according to briefings to New Zealand officials; reducing reliance on imported fuel through renewables and efficiency was identified as the region-wide option. Investment and Tourism: Palau’s revised Elite Resident Visa law broadens which businesses can arrange qualifying residential property deals for applicants, while setting a US$20,000 fee. In Koror, Four Seasons Explorer has opened M-Dock, a waterfront restaurant and lounge pairing Pacific seafood with Mediterranean cuisine.
