Climate Finance: A study for the EU-funded Green Overseas Programme identified five potential financing routes for island territories, including French Polynesia, which often fall outside climate funds because they are not sovereign states. Pacific Islands Forum: Pacific Elders Voice is urging the Forum to reverse Israel’s partner status, arguing it conflicts with regional commitments to peace, self-determination and international law. El Niño Outlook: Forecasters expect below-normal rainfall in southern French Polynesia through January, as a strengthening El Niño raises wider Pacific concerns about water supplies, heat and coral bleaching.
