Climate Finance Push: Samoa’s Deputy Prime Minister Mulipola Anarosa Ale Molioo told the UN General Assembly that climate funding must be scaled up, easier to access, and tailored for small island states—warning that resources meant for health, water and education are being diverted to disaster recovery, and that “no nation should have to borrow its way out of a crisis it did so little to create.” Pacific Climate Messaging at UNGA: Pacific leaders used UNGA to press for faster, fairer climate action, saying the world keeps hearing the warnings but still isn’t acting—highlighting the injustice of those least responsible facing the worst impacts. Ocean & Fisheries Support: At FAO’s COFI37 in Rome, Pacific countries—including Samoa—called for stronger international backing for ocean solutions already led in the region, from youth fisheries businesses to tackling illegal fishing and making new agreements work with local arrangements. Water Security Skills for Women: ADRA Samoa shifted training after feedback that women were intimidated in mixed sessions; in Lona, women and girls learned practical home plumbing and rainwater harvesting—skills to protect families during water disruptions. Media Accountability on Climate Loss: Pacific editors adopted the Savusavu Loss and Damage Media Forum Declaration, demanding timely, transparent access to loss-and-damage information and stronger support for journalists to hold decision-makers to account. UNGA Climate Justice Coalition: Nepal’s “Sagarmatha to the Sea” event—co-hosted with Samoa and others—linked mountain glacier melt to sea-level and coastal risks, arguing climate systems ignore political borders.
