Maritime Security & Fisheries: RNZAF patrols using an MC-12K King Air and a P-8A Poseidon targeted vessels suspected of illegal activity across Fiji, Niue and the Cook Islands’ EEZs, supporting the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency and New Zealand Customs’ Operation Kiwa to deter serious organised crime and protect fisheries. Climate Resilience Finance: The GEF’s LDCF/SCCF council approved a new work programme for vulnerable countries, including Niue, with over US$67m in new funding and nearly US$218m in co-financing to cut flood and coastal risks, strengthen food and water security, protect ecosystems, and boost disaster preparedness. Sustainable Forestry Capacity: FAO backed a Samoa–Fiji forestry exchange training officers in sustainable teak and pine production and management, aimed at closing technical and data gaps and building resilience to climate change and ecosystem pressures. Ocean Protection & Local Funding Models: A spotlight on Niue’s Ocean Wide (NOW) initiative describes how ocean protection is being turned into a long-term, sovereign-led financing approach via the NOW Trust, including management of 100% of Niue’s EEZ and a large no-take marine protected area. Tourism Data for Sustainability: Niue Tourism, via the Pacific Tourism Data Initiative, shared findings from the 2024 International Visitor Survey to help shape more resilient, responsive tourism planning.
