Concerns have been rising about a possible diplomatic row between New Zealand and the Cook Islands. A couple of weeks ago, Foreign Minister Winston Peters publicly admonished the President of Kiribati for refusing to engage - and diplomatic aid was put under review. Peters also recently released a harsh statement directed at Cook Islands Prime Minister Mark Brown as Brown prepares to sign a deal in China this week - a deal New Zealand hasn't been consulted about. Massey University's Anna Powles says these incidents are 'unusual' and don't reflect the diplomatic engagement between both nations. "It certainly doesn't reflect the type of more sensitive diplomatic engagement that we're used to New Zealand conducting in the region."

A new report has calculated how much annual climate finance is needed to flow from rich nations to Pacific countries. The funds would help speed up the energy transition, address climate impacts, and deal with climate-related loss and damage. The report by Caritas Australia and the Jubilee Australia Research Centre finds that around US$1.5 billion is needed annually to meet the climate finance needs for Pacific nations. The current gap or shortfall is calculated to be two-thirds of that amount. Report co-author Damian Spruce from Caritas Australia spoke to Biwa Kwan about the report's findings as world leaders at COP29 negotiate a deal for a new climate finance target.

France hosted the South Pacific Defense Ministers Meeting this week. As the SPDMM marks its tenth anniversary this year, its main functions have evolved from a military dialogue to include more communications in emergency response, combating climate change, etc. What has also evolved is the presence of global powers in the South Pacific. Western powers like the United States, France, New Zealand and Australia have all been upping their games in the region. China increased its interactions with the region, too. So how should we understand the increasing geo-strategic significance of the South Pacific? What do local people want?

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW24TH OCTOBER 2022Produced by Vivien LangfordON THE ROAD TO SHARM EL SHEIKHLOSS AND DAMAGE AND FOSSIL FUEL NON PROLIFERATION FOR COP27 The Financial Times ' Camilla Hodgsen reports that "Many developing countries, such as the low-lying Pacific island states vulnerable to sea level rise, are stepping up their demands. They want to see the creation of an international loss and damage finance facility — a type of fund — at November's COP27 UN summit, hosted by Egypt. “Wealthier countries bear a moral responsibility” to help poorer nations recover, adapt and build resilience to disasters, said António Guterres, UN secretary-general on Friday. “Let's not forget that 80 per cent of emissions driving this type of climate destruction are from the G20.”The ARRCC multifaith Climate event at Parramatta Cathedral called on  Prime Minister Albanese to support the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty at Cop 27.

Pacific nations walk away from trade and security deal with China as Australia aims to 'build stronger family' China's ambassador to Fiji, Qian Bo, said some Pacific nations held concerns about specific elements of the wide-ranging proposal. He said China was preparing a position paper that would be released after Mr Wang's visit to the region. "We are always in constant consultations with our friends," he said. "It is also China's policy — we never impose anything to other countries … never has that happened. Of course this may be technically true, if you don't view Taiwan as a sovereign nation with it's own airspace. However you would also have to overlook Chinas own people such as the people of Hong Kong who wanted a free press and freedom of speech. Or the Uyghurs who are held in what is basically a mass prison camp, or Chinese Christians who are disappeared because they won't follow the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Bible. So yeah, China's policy - we never impose anything to other countries - is a technical truth? I just remembered I need to go and feed my pet unicorn later as well. But how can these Pacific Island Nations believe they can have a relationship with a government such as the CCP when their core values are at opposite ends. This is just my opinion.
