Hear about travel to Solomon Islands as the Amateur Traveler talks to Chris Shorrock from Travel Obscure about his adventurous trip in these remote Pacific islands. Why should you go to the Solomon Islands? Chris says, "There's lots of reasons. One of the reasons we didn't really focus on World War II history. One of my big reasons for going was it's an adventurous destination and I like an adventurous destination. There's not many people going on holiday to the Solomons, so that was one of the big appeals. But besides that amazing natural beauty: jungle-clad volcanic islands, turquoise oceans, and then below the surface of the ocean lots of sea creatures, coral reefs, very spectacular underwater environment." This is an adventurous loop through the Central Province: starting in Honiara, crossing to Savo Island for volcano hikes and megapode eggs, then finishing with shipwreck snorkeling at Roderick Bay before returning to Honiara. Flights: Most travelers arrive from Brisbane (easiest option). Other routes exist via Port Moresby (less reliable), Nadi, or Auckland (via Vanuatu). Practical tip: Honiara is the last place you'll find ATMs, pharmacies, or proper shops. Stock up on cash (Solomon dollars), insect repellent, sunscreen, snacks, and dry bags here. Day 1 – Arrival in Honiara (Guadalcanal) ... https://amateurtraveler.com/solomon-islands/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wereldwijd breken de investeringen in hernieuwbare energie opnieuw records. Maar kunnen we dit tempo volhouden? Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ Wereldwijde investeringen in hernieuwbare energie bereiken records ☑️ Kleinschalige zonneprojecten blijken de motor achter de groei ☑️ Impactpluim voor World Youth 4 Climate Justice De energietransitie draait op volle toeren. In de eerste helft van 2025 werd wereldwijd maar liefst 386 miljard dollar geïnvesteerd in hernieuwbare energie, een stijging van 10 procent vergeleken met vorig jaar. Vooral kleinschalige zonneprojecten jagen die groei aan. Ze zijn snel te realiseren en leveren relatief snel rendement op, wat ze aantrekkelijk maakt voor zowel investeerders als lokale gemeenschappen. China verdubbelde zelfs de investeringen in deze categorie. Tegelijkertijd blijft offshore wind sterk groeien, met ruim 33 miljard dollar aan nieuwe projecten. Luister ook | De zomercolumn: grondstoffen, punt! Toch zijn er ook uitdagingen. In Europa stegen de investeringen met maar liefst 63 procent, mede dankzij stimulerend beleid en een aantrekkelijk klimaat voor duurzame financiering. In de Verenigde Staten daarentegen daalde het kapitaal voor hernieuwbaar met 36 procent – een signaal dat politieke keuzes direct invloed hebben op investeringsstromen. En dan zijn er de knelpunten: netcongestie, negatieve stroomprijzen en het trage tempo van grootschalige projecten. Hoe lossen we dat op? In deze aflevering van spreken we over deze kwesties met Adriaan Kamp van Energy for One World. Luister ook | De zomercolumn: onzichtbaar gif in je lijf Ons groene geweten Nikki Trip deelt een impactpluim uit aan de jongeren van World Youth 4 Climate Justice. Zij startten drie jaar geleden met een idee op eilandstaten als Vanuatu en Fiji en groeiden uit tot een internationale coalitie, met ook een sterke Nederlandse inbreng. Dankzij hun inzet vroeg de VN om een historische uitspraak van het International Court of Justice in Den Haag. Die was unaniem: landen kunnen juridisch verantwoordelijk worden gehouden voor klimaatverandering. Een krachtig precedent en - terecht - een impact-pluim.

On the 23rd of July 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued its long-awaited Advisory Opinion on the obligations of states in respect to climate change. The Advisory Opinion makes clear that states have far-reaching obligations under international law to prevent harm to the climate system and that breaching such obligations could result in having to make reparations, among other things. So, what impact might the ICJ's ruling have on international climate diplomacy and action, including climate-related litigation? To find out, Anna and Bhargabi speak to Dr Margaretha Wiwerinke-Singh, who is an Associate Professor of Sustainability Law at the University of Amsterdam and who lead the legal team of Vanuatu and the Melanesian Spearhead Group throughout the ICJ proceedings, and Dr Maria Antonia Tigre, who is the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Centre at Columbia University. To learn more about the ICJ's Advisory Opinion, read this Chatham House expert comment and/or listen to this Climate Briefing interview with Ralph Regenvanu, who at the time of the interview served as Vanuatu's Minister of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology and Geo-Hazards, Energy, Environment and Disaster Risk Management.
On July 23, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion that many are regarding as a groundbreaking legal moment for the fight against climate change. But what was included in the actual opinion? What does this mean for the future of climate litigation? And most importantly, what will this mean for the future of climate action? To answer all these questions and more, we talk to Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre, the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She explains how this decision sets a new precedent in international law by recognizing the extensive legal obligations countries have in combating climate change. We explore how the opinion integrates customary international law, human rights, and environmental treaties, offering a robust framework for future climate cases. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre also details the fascinating backstory of how a class project from the University of South Pacific in Vanuatu evolved into a global movement, culminating in this historic opinion. She shares insight into the legal community's reaction, the potential ripple effects on domestic and international cases, and the strengthened legal arguments that could emerge from this decision. We also explore the role science played in informing the court's decision, particularly the emphasis on the 1.5-degree threshold as a legal standard. Finally, we discuss the broader implications for fossil fuel regulation, climate reparations, and the responsibilities of both developed and developing nations. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre is the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She manages the Sabin Center's Global Climate Change Litigation Database with the support of the Sabin Center's Peer Review Network of Climate Litigation. Maria Antonia is a leading expert in the field of climate change law and climate litigation, having published dozens of articles on the topic. She also co-heads the Sabin Center and GNHRE's project on Climate Litigation in the Global South.

Australia's leaders are in the Pacific this week, touring Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu as the government works to strengthen ties in the region. Homicide detectives are investigating the deaths of a man and woman, whose bodies were discovered in a Melbourne property overnight. Following the federal government's announcement that it will recognise Palestine as a state at the united nations general assembly in september, mixed reactions have emerged domestically. - オーストラリアと太平洋地域の関係強化のため、政府の代表者が、今週、パプアニューギニアとバヌアツを訪問します。メルボルンの住宅で男女2人の遺体が見つかり、殺人事件として捜査が進められています。連邦政府が9月の国連総会で、パレスチナを国家として承認する意向を表明したことを受け、国内では賛否両論の反応が出ています。
Two landmark rulings on the urgent responsibility of states to address the climate crisis are issued—by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in a proceeding brought by Chile and Colombia, and by the World Court in a proceeding brought by the threatened Pacific Island nation of Vanuatu. Meanwhile in the USA, the Trump regime withdraws from the Paris Agreement, removes greenhouse gases from EPA oversight, drops subsidies for solar energy—and even destroys NASA's climate-monitoring satellites! This as receding Arctic ice sheets and sea ice begin to destabilize the climate-regulating Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), melting glaciers unleash deluges from the Swiss Alps to the Himalayas of Nepal, wildfires rage from Canada to California to the Mediterranean, and ocean acidification crosses a "'planetary boundary" that portends global biosphere collapse.

We're all feeling the effects of the fossil-fueled climate crisis, but young people will not let this threat to their future go unchallenged. They're taking it to the courts. In the last year, youth plaintiffs have had notable legal successes in Montana and Hawaiʻi, challenging that those states were violating their constitutional rights in continuing to burn fossil fuels. In Hawaiʻi, the ruling compels the state department of transportation to quickly move to a zero-emission system. But the biggest victory may have been outside of the U.S. The small island nation of Vanuatu led the charge to ask the International Court for Justice to grant a judgement on the legal obligation of countries to fight climate change. The judgment, released in late July, stated that countries do have a responsibility to address the climate crisis. Beyond their specific claims and remedies, these numerous cases ask: What do we owe our future generations, and how will we make good on those promises?
