Last update: 10 hours agoClimate Court Pushback: The UN General Assembly voted 141-8 (with 28 abstentions) to back a landmark World Court climate ruling, calling it a duty under international law to cut fossil fuels and protect people—despite US efforts to derail the measure. Fossil Fuel Politics: The US, along with Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia, opposed the resolution, while the text urges national climate plans, ends fossil-fuel exploration subsidies, and calls for “full reparation” for harm. Pacific Connectivity: In a practical win for the region, NEC completed the 2,250 km East Micronesia Cable System, linking Kiribati, Nauru and parts of Micronesia to replace slower satellite links with faster, more reliable internet. Local Food Security: Nauru’s Chinese-assisted container hydroponic “plant factory” is already delivering lettuce to local shelves in about 1 hour 20 minutes from harvest to purchase. Regional Power Tensions: Security talks in Guam framed Micronesian islands as central to US-China brinkmanship, with leaders planning for risks tied to Taiwan and trade.
