Strengthening Fiji’s Early Warning Systems for a More Resilient Future
This morning, the Fiji Government through the Fiji NDMO, in partnership with the UNDP Pacific Office, officially opened the National Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Workshop and National Dialogue on Fiji’s Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS).
Supported by the Green Climate Fund, the workshop brought together government agencies, telecommunications providers, broadcasters, development partners and technical experts, with a focus on strengthening governance arrangements, enhancing inter-agency coordination, and advancing the implementation of the Common Alerting Protocol – an internationally recognised standard that enables emergency alerts to be disseminated rapidly and consistently across multiple communication channels.
With technical support from UNDP together with the ITU, World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction - UNISDR Pacific, participants will work together to strengthen Fiji’s Multi-Hazard Early Warning System and ensure timely, accurate and actionable warnings reach all communities, especially those most vulnerable to disasters and climate-related hazards.
The three-day workshop will advance efforts to establish a coordinated, people-centered and multi-hazard warning dissemination system under the global Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) initiative.

Director-General’s Desk | US Coast Guard Pacific Commander visits FFA Headquarters
FFA today welcomed United States Coast Guard Pacific Area Commander, Vice Admiral Joseph R. Buzzella, to its Headquarters in Honiara.
FFA Director-General Noan David Pakop briefed Vice Admiral Buzzella on FFA’s mandate to support its 17 Members in the sustainable management and protection of their offshore fisheries resources, including the Agency’s role in coordinating regional fisheries surveillance and facilitating information and intelligence sharing to support national enforcement efforts.
The Director-General highlighted that support from partners such as the US strengthens the capacity of FFA Members to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. He also noted that regional fisheries surveillance increasingly contributes to broader maritime domain awareness, helping Members respond to transnational organised crime, illicit drug trafficking and other maritime security threats.
Discussions also covered the changing nature of with greater risks now linked to unreported fishing activity and misreporting, rather than unlicensed fishing or fishing in unregulated areas.
Mr Pakop also outlined FFA’s proposal for a new Regional Fisheries Surveillance Centre (RFSC) facility, a project for which the Agency is currently seeking partner support. He highlighted the proposed facility’s role as a future hub for regional and international cooperation, with the additional space and capability needed to support FFA’s expanding regional surveillance operations, partnerships and information-sharing activities.
Vice Admiral Buzzella was given a tour of the RFSC, where he observed the Centre’s operations.
Vice Admiral Buzzella provided an update on the recent signing of the Shiprider Agreement between the US and Solomon Islands, noting that it will assist Solomon Islands in protecting and enforcing its sovereign rights within its exclusive economic zone.
He reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to supporting Pacific Island countries in their efforts to deter and respond to IUU fishing and acknowledged the importance of fisheries to the region’s economies.
The United States is one of FFA's Pacific QUAD partners, alongside Australia, New Zealand and France. The Pacific QUADs work closely with FFA to support Pacific Island countries through aerial surveillance, maritime patrols, intelligence analysis and other operational assistance to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
总干事办公室 | 美国海岸警卫队太平洋指挥官访问FFA总部
FFA今天在霍尼亚拉的总部欢迎了美国海岸警卫队太平洋地区指挥官约瑟夫·R·巴泽拉海军中将。
FFA总干事诺安·大卫·帕科普向巴泽拉海军中将简要介绍了FFA支持其17个成员国可持续管理和保护海洋渔业资源的任务,包括该机构在协调区域渔业监测和促进信息与情报共享以支持国家执法工作中的角色。
总干事强调,来自美国等合作伙伴的支持增强了FFA成员国打击非法、未报告和无管制(IUU)捕鱼的能力。他还指出,区域渔业监测越来越有助于更广泛的海洋领域意识,帮助成员国应对跨国有组织犯罪、非法毒品贩运和其他海洋安全威胁。
讨论还涉及了IUU捕鱼性质的变化,现在未报告的捕鱼活动和误报所带来的风险更大,而不是无证捕鱼或在无管制区域捕鱼。
帕科普先生还概述了FFA关于新区域渔业监测中心(RFSC)设施的提案,该项目目前正在寻求合作伙伴支持。他强调,该设施作为未来区域和国际合作的中心所需的额外空间和能力,以支持FFA日益扩展的区域监测操作、合作伙伴关系和信息共享活动。
巴泽拉海军中将参观了RFSC,观察了中心的运作。
巴泽拉海军中将提供了关于美国与所罗门群岛之间最近签署的船员协议的更新,指出这将帮助所罗门群岛保护和执行其在专属经济区内的主权权利。
他重申了美国支持太平洋岛国在遏制和应对IUU捕鱼方面的承诺,并承认渔业对该地区经济的重要性。
美国是FFA的太平洋QUAD合作伙伴之一,与澳大利亚、新西兰和法国并肩。太平洋QUAD与FFA密切合作,通过空中监测、海上巡逻、情报分析和其他操作支持,帮助太平洋岛国打击非法、未报告和无管制(IUU)捕鱼。

In the Pacific, energy security, economic resilience and sustainable development are deeply interconnected.
When global fuel markets fluctuate, the effects are often felt longer and more intensely across island economies. The costs ripple through households, public services and national budgets.
In her final dispatch from the Pacific, UNDP in Asia and the Pacific Regional Director, Kanni Wignaraja, joins our Resident Representative, Munkhtuya Altangerel, to discuss why these "spikes and lags" matter. And, why investing in resilient, renewable energy systems is one of the most effective ways to strengthen development gains and reduce vulnerability across the Blue Pacific.

| Building a Sustainable Future for a Pacific Lifeline
South Pacific albacore is one of the Pacific's most valuable tuna resources, supporting livelihoods, food security, and economic growth across the region.
In December 2025, FFA Members achieved a historic milestone with the adoption of the South Pacific Albacore Management Procedure, the first long-term, science-based harvest strategy for this important fishery.
As work continues on the Implementing Arrangements, Pacific countries remain committed to turning this landmark agreement into practical action that will safeguard the resource for future generations.

Honiara, Solomon Islands — Five community organisations from across Solomon Islands have received support through the Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP), implemented by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), to advance locally led environmental initiatives.
Grant agreements signed in Honiara in July 2026 will enable communities to pursue projects that respond directly to local priorities while strengthening environmental stewardship and livelihoods.
The low-value grants (LVGs), totalling more than USD100,000 across the five recipients, will help bridge critical funding gaps by supporting a range of community-led conservation initiatives, including protected area planning, coral reef rehabilitation and sustainable agriculture.
“These grants should be seen as an investment in communities, people and the environment,” said Solomon Kalu, Programme Specialist at UNDP in Solomon Islands. “UNDP’s role is not only to facilitate this support, but also to work alongside communities so these investments deliver lasting environmental and social benefits.”
For three of the five grantees, the funding represents an important step towards securing formal protection for forests that communities have long managed and depended on.
Under Solomon Islands’ Protected Areas Act 2010, communities seeking formal protected area status must complete a series of technical and planning requirements, including baseline studies and management planning. These processes are often beyond the financial reach of rural communities despite strong local commitment to conservation, yet the goal extends beyond protecting forests.
Formal protected area status strengthens the role of customary landowners and communities in managing natural resources, helping to ensure conservation decisions remain in local hands while creating stronger safeguards against unsustainable activities.
One of those communities is the Kogala Tribe Forest Conservation Association (KTFCA) in East Guadalcanal.
“This application is not simply an environment project but an opportunity for our community to take greater responsibility for protecting resources for future generations,” said Justin Ron, Coordinator of KTFCA.
Through the LVG, KTFCA also plans to build a facility that will serve as an operational hub for coordinating conservation initiatives, accommodating visiting researchers and partners, and supporting sustainable local livelihoods.
Another project, led by the Tookina Tribal Land Conservation Association in East Are’are, Malaita Province, will establish a training centre where women and youth can develop sustainable farming skills and improve local livelihoods through environmentally responsible agricultural practices.
The diversity of the projects reflects the programme’s community-driven approach, with successful applicants identifying priorities based on local needs. Several grantees said they first learned about the funding opportunity through the programme’s outreach on social media, local networks and civil society organisations, highlighting the importance of making environmental financing accessible to communities across the country.
“This support gives our community the opportunity to move from planning to action,” said Shoghi Waikiru, Secretary of the Wa’aoho Community Conservation Association. “It allows us to complete the work needed to protect our forest while ensuring future generations continue to benefit from the resources we depend on.”
The GEF SGP supports community-led initiatives that address global environmental challenges by providing grants to civil society and community-based organisations through a decentralised country-level delivery mechanism, with a focus on women, Indigenous Peoples, youth and persons with disabilities.

霍尼亚拉,所罗门群岛——来自所罗门群岛的五个社区组织通过联合国开发计划署(UNDP)实施的全球环境基金小额赠款计划(GEF SGP)获得支持,以推动本地主导的环境倡议。
2026年7月在霍尼亚拉签署的赠款协议将使社区能够开展直接响应地方优先事项的项目,同时加强环境管理和生计。
这五个受赠者的低价值赠款(LVGs)总额超过10万美元,将通过支持一系列社区主导的保护倡议来弥补关键的资金缺口,包括保护区规划、珊瑚礁修复和可持续农业。
“这些赠款应被视为对社区、人民和环境的投资,”所罗门群岛UNDP项目专家所罗门·卡卢(Solomon Kalu)表示。“UNDP的角色不仅是促进这种支持,还要与社区合作,以确保这些投资带来持久的环境和社会效益。”
对于五个受赠者中的三个来说,这笔资金代表着朝着为社区长期管理和依赖的森林获得正式保护迈出的重要一步。
根据所罗门群岛2010年《保护区法》,寻求正式保护区地位的社区必须完成一系列技术和规划要求,包括基线研究和管理规划。这些过程往往超出农村社区的财务承受能力,尽管当地对保护的承诺强烈,但目标不仅限于保护森林。
正式的保护区地位加强了习惯土地所有者和社区在管理自然资源方面的角色,帮助确保保护决策仍然掌握在地方手中,同时为抵御不可持续活动提供更强的保障。
其中一个社区是位于东瓜达尔卡纳尔的科加拉部落森林保护协会(KTFCA)。
“这个申请不仅仅是一个环境项目,而是我们社区为保护资源、为未来世代承担更大责任的机会,”KTFCA协调员贾斯廷·罗恩(Justin Ron)表示。
通过这笔低价值赠款,KTFCA还计划建立一个设施,作为协调保护倡议的运营中心,接待来访的研究人员和合作伙伴,并支持可持续的地方生计。
另一个项目由位于马莱塔省东阿雷阿雷的图基纳部落土地保护协会主导,将建立一个培训中心,帮助女性和年轻人发展可持续农业技能,通过环境友好的农业实践改善当地生计。
项目的多样性反映了该计划以社区为驱动的方法,成功的申请者根据当地需求确定优先事项。几位受赠者表示,他们首次通过该计划在社交媒体、地方网络和民间社会组织的宣传了解到这一资金机会,这突显了使环境融资对全国各地社区可及的重要性。
“这项支持为我们的社区提供了从规划到行动的机会,”瓦奥霍社区保护协会秘书长肖吉·怀基鲁(Shoghi Waikiru)表示。“它使我们能够完成保护森林所需的工作,同时确保未来世代继续受益于我们依赖的资源。”
全球环境基金小额赠款计划通过去中心化的国家级交付机制,向民间社会和社区组织提供赠款,支持应对全球环境挑战的社区主导倡议,重点关注女性、土著人民、年轻人和残疾人。

The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) has released its 2024–2025 Annual Report, highlighting a year of strong regional cooperation, meaningful achievements and continued leadership in sustainable fisheries management across the Blue Pacific.
The report marks an important milestone for the Secretariat. It is the first Annual Report presented by Director-General Noan David Pakop and comes as FFA prepares to embark on a new Strategic Plan that will help shape its work over the next five years.
It also comes at a time when the Pacific is facing some of its biggest challenges – from climate change and changing tuna distribution to increasing pressure on ocean resources and a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.
Yet, if the past year has shown anything, it is that regional cooperation remains one of the Pacific’s greatest strengths.

For almost five decades, FFA Members have shown what can be achieved when Pacific countries work together. That partnership has helped protect the world’s largest tuna fishery, strengthen the region’s influence in international fisheries management and deliver lasting benefits for Pacific people.
This past year was another reminder of what that cooperation can achieve.
The Pacific’s four key tuna stocks remain healthy, with Members continuing to make important decisions that will protect them well into the future. New Target Reference Points for Skipjack and South Pacific Albacore were adopted, while work continued on harvest strategies for Bigeye and Yellowfin tuna. Behind those technical decisions is something much simpler – the shared responsibility of ensuring Pacific tuna continues to support future generations.
Pacific Power: A 20-Year Journey of Regional Leadership in Tuna Fisheries
But healthy tuna stocks are only part of the story.
As Director-General Noan David Pakop reflects in his first Annual Report, the next challenge is making sure the benefits from those fisheries stay in the Pacific. While the Pacific region supplies more than half of the world’s tuna, much of its value is still realised elsewhere. Creating more jobs, attracting investment and growing local industries are now just as important as protecting the resource itself.
That thinking is already shaping FFA’s work.
Across the region, Members continued strengthening market access, improving labour standards and supporting initiatives that encourage more value-added processing and investment. The East New Britain Initiative (ENBi) is one example of that shift – looking beyond fisheries management to how tuna can create broader economic opportunities for Pacific communities.

The year also saw continued progress in protecting the region’s fisheries.
Regional surveillance operations remained a cornerstone of FFA’s work, supported by new technologies such as the Electronic Port State Measures system and the Electronic Vessel Register. Together with stronger national legislation and closer cooperation between Members, these efforts have helped reduce the impact of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing across the Pacific.
Much of this work happens behind the scenes. It is found in long hours at sea, in negotiations around regional meeting tables, in fisheries officers inspecting vessels, and in the technical advice provided to Members every day. During the reporting period alone, FFA delivered more than 300 Member support activities covering legal advice, fisheries management, monitoring, surveillance, investment and capacity building. These may not always make headlines, but they are essential to helping Members achieve their own national priorities.
Inside the Secretariat, there has also been a renewed focus on ensuring FFA remains fit for purpose.
The Independent Refresh and Performance Review, together with improvements to governance, systems and workforce capability, is helping build a more response, efficient and future-focussed organisation. Increased donor confidence, reflected in a 38 percent growth in funding, provides further recognition of that work.

The year ahead will bring no shortage of challenges. Climate change will continue to reshape the region’s fisheries, competition for marine resources will grow and expectations from Members will continue to evolve.
But this Annual Report is also a reminder that FFA has never faced those challenges alone.
Its strength has always come from the willingness of Pacific countries to work together, share knowledge and speak with one voice. That spirit has shaped the Agency for nearly five decades and will continue to guide it as it begins its next chapter.
Ultimately, FFA’s success won’t be measured by the number of meetings held or policies developed. It will be measured by whether Pacific fisheries continue to create opportunities, strengthen livelihoods and improve the lives of Pacific people.

太平洋岛国论坛渔业机构(FFA)发布了2024-2025年度报告,强调了区域合作的强劲表现、重要成就以及在可持续渔业管理方面的持续领导。
该报告标志着秘书处的重要里程碑。这是总干事诺安·大卫·帕科普(Noan David Pakop)首次提交的年度报告,同时也是FFA准备启动新战略计划的时刻,该计划将帮助塑造未来五年的工作。
此时,太平洋正面临一些最大的挑战——从气候变化和金枪鱼分布变化到海洋资源的压力增加以及快速演变的地缘政治格局。
然而,如果过去一年给我们展示了什么,那就是区域合作仍然是太平洋最大的优势之一。

近五十年来,FFA成员国展示了太平洋国家合作所能取得的成就。这种伙伴关系帮助保护了世界上最大的金枪鱼渔场,加强了该地区在国际渔业管理中的影响力,并为太平洋人民带来了持久的利益。
过去一年再次提醒我们,这种合作能够取得的成就。
太平洋的四个主要金枪鱼种群保持健康,成员国继续做出重要决策,以确保它们在未来得到良好保护。新的黄鳍金枪鱼和南太平洋长鳍金枪鱼的目标参考点已被采纳,同时对大眼金枪鱼和黄鳍金枪鱼的捕捞策略的工作也在继续。在这些技术决策背后,有一个更简单的理念——共同责任,确保太平洋的金枪鱼能够继续支持未来的世代。
太平洋力量:金枪鱼渔业区域领导力的20年旅程
但健康的金枪鱼种群只是故事的一部分。
正如总干事诺安·大卫·帕科普在他的第一份年度报告中所反思的,下一个挑战是确保这些渔业带来的利益留在太平洋。虽然太平洋地区提供了全球一半以上的金枪鱼,但其价值仍然在其他地方实现。创造更多就业机会、吸引投资和发展地方产业现在与保护资源本身同样重要。
这种思维方式已经在塑造FFA的工作。
在整个地区,成员国继续加强市场准入,提高劳动标准,并支持鼓励更多增值加工和投资的倡议。东新不列颠倡议(East New Britain Initiative,ENBi)就是这一转变的一个例子——超越渔业管理,关注金枪鱼如何为太平洋社区创造更广泛的经济机会。

这一年,保护该地区渔业的工作也取得了持续进展。
区域监视行动仍然是FFA工作的基石,得益于电子港口国措施系统和电子船舶登记等新技术。结合更强的国家立法和成员国之间的更紧密合作,这些努力帮助减少了太平洋地区非法、未报告和不受管制的捕鱼活动的影响。
这些工作大多发生在幕后。它体现在海上的长时间工作、区域会议桌上的谈判、渔业官员对船只的检查,以及每天提供给成员国的技术建议。在报告期内,FFA提供了超过300项成员支持活动,涵盖法律建议、渔业管理、监测、监视、投资和能力建设。这些活动可能并不总是成为头条新闻,但对帮助成员国实现自身国家优先事项至关重要。
在秘书处内部,FFA也重新关注确保其适应目的。
独立的刷新和绩效评估,以及对治理、系统和劳动力能力的改善,正在帮助建立一个更具响应性、高效和面向未来的组织。捐助者信心的提高,反映在资金增长38%的数据上,进一步证明了这一工作的认可。

未来的一年将面临不少挑战。气候变化将继续重塑该地区的渔业,海洋资源的竞争将加剧,成员国的期望也将不断发展。
但这份年度报告也提醒我们,FFA从未独自面对这些挑战。
其力量始终来自于太平洋国家愿意团结合作、分享知识并发出统一声音的决心。这种精神塑造了该机构近五十年,并将继续引导其开启下一个篇章。
最终,FFA的成功不会仅仅通过召开会议的数量或制定政策的多少来衡量。它将通过太平洋渔业是否继续创造机会、增强生计和改善太平洋人民的生活来衡量。

The final engagement of Regional Director Kanni Wignaraja's visit to Tonga took her to Hahake District, where she met with community members participating in the Tonga Coastal Resilience Project to hear directly about their priorities, experiences and aspirations.
Community members shared their perspectives on the project, including the importance of ensuring it remains inclusive and accessible for everyone. The dialogue reinforced the value of listening and ensuring communities continue to shape the decisions that affect their future.
The US$23.9 million Tonga Coastal Resilience Project, funded by the Green Climate Fund and implemented by the Government of Tonga with support from UNDP, is helping strengthen resilience across six coastal communities through better planning, climate information and coastal protection.
UNDP looks forward to continuing its partnership with the people and Government of Tonga as communities turn their plans for a more resilient future into action.
区域主任卡尼·维格纳拉(Kanni Wignaraja)访问汤加的最后一站是哈哈克区,她与参与汤加海岸韧性项目的社区成员会面,直接听取他们的优先事项、经历和愿望。
社区成员分享了他们对该项目的看法,包括确保项目对每个人都具有包容性和可及性的重要性。此次对话强化了倾听的价值,并确保社区继续参与影响他们未来的决策。
该项目由绿色气候基金资助,由汤加政府实施,并得到联合国开发计划署的支持,预算为2390万美元,旨在通过更好的规划、气候信息和海岸保护,帮助六个沿海社区增强韧性。
联合国开发计划署期待与汤加人民和政府继续合作,帮助社区将更具韧性的未来计划付诸行动。
Development partners gathered to discuss how climate finance and coordinated action can continue to support Tonga's national priorities and strengthen resilience across the Kingdom, with UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP in Asia and the Pacific Regional Director Kanni Wignaraja leading the discussions.
We also celebrated the national launch of Women in Biodiversity and Culture, where Her Royal Highness Princess Salote Mafileʻo Pilolevu Tuita honoured the extraordinary contribution of Tongan women in protecting biodiversity, preserving traditional knowledge and keeping culture alive for future generations.
Supported through UNDP's Global Environment Facility-funded Ridge to Reef Phase II project, the launch also marked the introduction of the Langafonua 'a Fafine Tonga UNDP Low Value Grant Project, which will support women-led initiatives that strengthen sustainable livelihoods, conserve biodiversity, preserve traditional knowledge and expand access to digital markets.
The discussions and launch highlighted the value of investing in people, protecting nature and supporting the leadership that already exists across Tonga.
发展伙伴聚集在一起讨论气候融资和协调行动如何继续支持汤加的国家优先事项,并增强整个王国的韧性,联合国助理秘书长兼联合国开发计划署(UNDP)亚太地区主任Kanni Wignaraja主导了讨论。
我们还庆祝了《女性在生物多样性与文化中的作用》的全国发布,汤加王妃Salote Mafileʻo Pilolevu Tuita殿下在会上表彰了汤加女性在保护生物多样性、传承传统知识和保持文化活力方面的卓越贡献。
此次发布会得到了联合国开发计划署全球环境基金资助的“从山脊到珊瑚礁”第二阶段项目的支持,同时标志着Langafonua 'a Fafine Tonga联合国开发计划署低价值赠款项目的推出,该项目将支持女性主导的倡议,增强可持续生计、保护生物多样性、传承传统知识并扩大数字市场的准入。
讨论和发布会强调了投资于人、保护自然和支持汤加现有领导力的重要性。
An eventful day and mission it certainly has been.
UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP in Asia and the Pacific Kanni Wignaraja met with Prime Minister Hon. Lord Fakafanua to discuss Tonga's development priorities, including the country's ambition to strengthen energy security by electrifying islands through renewable energy mini-grids, and his vision of positioning Tonga as an Ocean Centre that brings together the Kingdom's rich cultural heritage with modern climate and biodiversity science.
The Regional Director also had the honour of meeting HRH Crown Prince Tupoutoʻa ʻUlukalala, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to reaffirm the importance of regional and global partnerships in advancing the Blue Pacific's shared priorities, including climate action and sustainable development.
The meetings reaffirmed the strong partnership between the Government of Tonga and UNDP, and a shared commitment to supporting nationally led solutions that strengthen resilience, protect the environment and improve lives across the Kingdom.
这无疑是充满事件的一天和使命。
联合国助理秘书长、联合国开发计划署(UNDP)亚太地区主任Kanni Wignaraja与汤加总理Hon. Lord Fakafanua会面,讨论汤加的发展优先事项,包括通过可再生能源微电网为岛屿提供电力以增强能源安全的雄心,以及将汤加定位为一个将王国丰富的文化遗产与现代气候和生物多样性科学结合的海洋中心的愿景。
区域主任还荣幸地会见了HRH王储Tupoutoʻa ʻUlukalala,外交部长,重申了在推进蓝色太平洋共同优先事项(包括气候行动和可持续发展)方面区域和全球伙伴关系的重要性。
会议重申了汤加政府与联合国开发计划署之间的强大伙伴关系,以及共同致力于支持国家主导的解决方案,以增强韧性、保护环境并改善王国各地的生活。
