BY JOSES SAREN Prime Minister Matthew Wale will push for stronger climate finance and greater recognition of Pacific concerns as he joins regional and international leaders in Nadi, Fiji, ahead of the 2026 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31). Wale is expected to highlight climate finance, blue and green capital and key signals for COP31 during the Pre-COP31 High-Level Meeting, a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office said. For Solomon Islands and other Pacific island states, the meeting is an opportunity to press for stronger international action to address the impacts of climate change. Following his arrival in Nadi, Wale and Minister for Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology Wayne Ghemu held a briefing with Solomon Islands officials. Wale’s first bilateral engagement is with Cook Islands Prime Minister Mark Brown, PMO said. The programme continues tomorrow with Wale’s address to the High-Level Political Session, where he is expected to call for the region’s concerns to be reflected in global climate action. PMO said Wale will then hold further bilateral meetings with fellow leaders and partners before attending a traditional welcome ceremony hosted by Fiji Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka. On Tuesday, Wale will travel with other leaders to Tuvalu as part of the Pre-COP31 Leaders’ programme before returning to Nadi for the Leaders’ Plenary, it said. The plenary will bring together Pacific and partner leaders, including the prime ministers of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Palau and Vanuatu, for high-level discussions on shared regional issues ahead of COP31. Wale is scheduled to depart Fiji and return to Honiara on Wednesday. [Prime Minister Matthew Wale and delegates brief in Fiji ahead of bilateral engagement with Cook Islands PM Mark Brown.

BY JOHN HOUANIHAU The Guadalcanal Provincial Fisheries Division has reminded communities, fishers, and operators in Marau Sound and Birao Ward in East Guadalcanal, to comply with key requirements governing fishing activities. An official statement issued yesterday from the division said that anyone engaging persons from outside Guadalcanal Province must ensure customary fishing rights and permissions are properly documented and submitted to fisheries authorities for verification. The Division also said commercial operators are required to obtain a valid Guadalcanal Provincial business licence before commencing fishing operations. The statement further adds that all activities must comply with national fisheries laws, provincial ordinances, and customary community rules. This comes after concerns were raised about the use of underwater fishing equipment by outsiders in Marau Sound. The Guadalcanal Provincial Fisheries Division warn that unauthorised activities may constitute offences and could lead to enforcement action. The Division in its statement urges customary rights holders, community leaders, and fishers to follow proper processes before allowing fishing in their grounds. “Cooperation is vital to ensure the sustainable management and protection of marine resources in Marau Sound,” the Division said.

BY TONY IROGA THE Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification (MMERE) and the UK Government yesterday agreed on the next stage of an energy programme to establish a new independent energy regulator in Solomon Islands. The new regulator will allow independent power providers to operate, reducing reliance on imported diesel and lowering electricity costs through renewable options such as solar, a statement by the UK High Commission yesterday said. It is advancing the necessary reforms, with the UK providing technical and legal expertise to draft secondary legislation covering economic licensing and technical certification for electrical workers. British High Commissioner Paul Turner met MMERE Permanent Secretary Chris Vehe yesterday to sign the agreement. UK-contracted legal expert William Kadi, a former Chevening scholar, is drafting the legislation under MMERE supervision before submission to the Attorney General’s Chambers. With Prime Minister Matthew Wale aiming for lower tariffs, MMERE and the UK plan to complete the draft legislation by early 2027. MMERE emphasised that establishing an independent regulator is a critical step towards diversifying the nation’s energy sector and making power more affordable for local communities. “This legal work will be important for advancing the wider energy programme that the World Bank is taking forward, including on tariff and institutional reforms,” Mr Turner said. He added that the UK will continue working with the World Bank and ADB, while maintaining support for major projects such as the Tina River Hydro Project through the Global Environment Facility and multilateral funding.

BY CHARLES STENNETT Prime Minister Matthew Wale used his address at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), to call on the international community to match the courage of Pacific communities with collective international resolve to scale up adaptation and resilience finance, and to support communities facing climate mobility needs. In his speech at the 81 st session of UNGA in New York last week, Wale urged the international community to put into action what they promised to reduce climate change as Pacific Island leaders have used the podium many times in the past raising issues relating to climate change but have seen little achieved. “Year after year, Pacific leaders have stood at this podium and urged the world to act on climate change. And yet, global action continues to fall short of what the science demands. For every passing COP, the impacts grow more severe. Our islands are being lost to the sea. Disasters are more frequent and more devastating” he said. The Prime Minister said small countries like Solomon Islands are using much needed money that should have been used for development for disaster response, recovery and rebuilding. He said Solomon Islanders are well aware of this as they’ve lived through disasters caused by climate change. “Food and water security is under threat and communities are being forced from their ancestral lands. Solomon Islands knows this reality firsthand. This year, Tropical Cyclone Maila, a category five storm, tore through our communities, destroying homes, schools, infrastructure and livelihoods. “That is money our essential services urgently need, now diverted to deal with the impacts of this climate extreme. Like many Pacific Island countries, we are trapped in a relentless cycle of response, recovery and rebuilding. This is not sustainable, nor is it just,” Wale said. He informed the assembly that Solomon Islands did the least to cause this crisis, yet they pay its earliest and heaviest price. Wale called on the international community that each state has a legal obligation to protect the climate system. “Major emitters must make deep emission cuts and transition away from fossil fuels. Climate finance, including support for loss and damage, must be grant based and channeled through our national budget systems. Project based financing of climate action is unsustainable and out of step with the scale of a crisis we did the least to cause. Vulnerable countries should not have to choose between climate action and educating our children, caring for the sick or securing food and water,” Wale said. He also called for the full capitalisation of the Pacific Resilience Facility, and an ambitious and timely third replenishment of the Green Climate Fund. Wale encouraged parties and partners to attend the Pre-COP31 meeting which will be held soon to see and feel for themselves the effects of climate change. “The Pre-COP31 meeting, to be hosted in the Pacific by Australia in partnership with Fiji and Tuvalu, will bring the reality of climate change directly into the heart of the global process. I call on all parties and partners to come to that meeting and to COP31 with stronger commitments and concrete action. The communities on the frontline of the climate crisis deserve nothing less” he said. He also called on the international community to support efforts addressing sea level rise which is affecting shorelines of the islands in Solomon Islands. “Every day our people are defending their coastlines, strengthening their resilience, protecting their food and water security and their cultural heritage, and, where there is no other choice, relocating. But we cannot do this alone. “I call on this assembly to match the courage of our Pacific communities with collective international resolve to scale up adaptation and resilience finance, and to support communities facing climate mobility needs,” Prime Minister Wale said.

作者:查尔斯·斯特内特 总理马修·瓦莱在联合国大会(UNGA)上发表讲话,呼吁国际社会与太平洋社区的勇气相匹配,集体决心加大适应和韧性融资,并支持面临气候迁移需求的社区。 在上周纽约举行的第81届联合国大会上,瓦莱敦促国际社会付诸行动,兑现承诺以减少气候变化,因为太平洋岛国领导人过去多次在此讲台上提出与气候变化相关的问题,但取得的成效寥寥。 “年复一年,太平洋领导人在这个讲台上呼吁世界采取气候变化行动。然而,全球行动仍未达到科学所要求的水平。每一次气候变化大会(COP)过去,影响变得愈加严重。我们的岛屿正在被海水吞没。灾害变得更加频繁和毁灭性,”他说。 总理表示,像所罗门群岛这样的小国正在将本应用于发展的急需资金用于灾害响应、恢复和重建。 他说,所罗门群岛人民对此深有体会,因为他们经历了气候变化带来的灾害。 “粮食和水安全受到威胁,社区被迫离开祖传土地。所罗门群岛对此现实深有体会。今年,五级热带气旋梅拉袭击了我们的社区,摧毁了房屋、学校、基础设施和生计。 “这笔资金是我们基本服务急需的,现在却被转用于应对气候极端带来的影响。像许多太平洋岛国一样,我们陷入了无休止的响应、恢复和重建循环。这是不可持续的,也是不公正的,”瓦莱说。 他向大会通报,所罗门群岛对这一危机的贡献最小,但却支付了最早和最沉重的代价。 瓦莱呼吁国际社会,各国有法律义务保护气候系统。 “主要排放国必须大幅削减排放,并逐步摆脱化石燃料。气候融资,包括对损失和损害的支持,必须以赠款形式,并通过我们的国家预算系统进行。基于项目的气候行动融资是不可持续的,与我们造成的危机规模不符。脆弱国家不应在气候行动与教育儿童、照顾病人或保障粮食和水之间做出选择,”瓦莱说。 他还呼吁全面资本化太平洋韧性基金,并对绿色气候基金进行雄心勃勃和及时的第三次补充。 瓦莱鼓励各方和伙伴参加即将举行的预COP31会议,亲身感受气候变化的影响。 “预COP31会议将在澳大利亚与斐济和图瓦卢的合作下在太平洋举行,将气候变化的现实直接带入全球进程的核心。我呼吁所有各方和伙伴以更强的承诺和具体行动参加该会议和COP31。处于气候危机前线的社区理应得到这样的对待,”他说。 他还呼吁国际社会支持应对海平面上升的努力,这影响着所罗门群岛的海岸线。 “我们的人民每天都在捍卫他们的海岸线,加强他们的韧性,保护他们的粮食和水安全以及文化遗产,并在没有其他选择的情况下进行迁移。但我们无法独自完成这一切。 “我呼吁本次大会与我们太平洋社区的勇气相匹配,集体决心加大适应和韧性融资,并支持面临气候迁移需求的社区,”瓦莱总理说。 照片来源:OPMC 如需反馈,请联系:charsstennett@gmail.com 编辑:irwin3angiki@gmail.com

BY CHARLES STENNETT The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) and the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster and Meteorology, (MECDM), with support from New Zealand through the Climate and Biodiversity-Smart Marine Spatial Planning (CaB-Smart MSP) Programme, are working with communities and provincial governments in Temotu and Makira-Ulawa Provinces to identify priorities for protecting marine resources, strengthening livelihoods, and adapting to climate change. A post from the MFMR social media said that through community workshops, interviews, mapping, traditional knowledge, and scientific information, communities are sharing their knowledge, identifying local challenges, and helping shape plans for the future of their marine and coastal areas. It said the process ensures that the voices of women and men who depend on marine resources, as well as elders and youth, are reflected in decision-making. It also includes Solomon Islands Integrated Vulnerability Assessment (SIIVA) assessments. It said these activities will help communities map important coastal habitats and fishing grounds, identify environmental threats, and discuss their aspirations for the future. The statement said information gathered will support communities and government to develop practical marine management options and identify suitable marine zones that help protect important habitats, support sustainable fisheries, and build resilience to climate change. The lessons and experiences from this work will help MFMR and MECDM further develop and test community Marine Spatial Planning guidelines, supporting the wider rollout of this approach across Solomon Islands.

BY NED GAGAHE The Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI), in collaboration with Tebbutt Research, will conduct its second National Financial Services Demand Side Survey from September to October this year. The survey will assess access, usage, quality and satisfaction with financial services and products across Solomon Islands. It will cover a nationally representative sample of about 992 adults randomly selected from households in urban, rural and maritime communities. CBSI said the survey is aimed at providing a better understanding of the needs, preferences and financial behaviours of Solomon Islanders. It will also provide updated information to help assess progress under the National Financial Inclusion Strategy 3, which was implemented by CBSI from 2021 to 2025. The survey will examine the extent to which people have access to and use financial services and products currently available in the country, as well as their experiences and level of satisfaction. It will also assess people’s readiness and appetite for climate-related financial products and services. CBSI said the findings would provide an evidence base for policy development and help identify gaps in the provision of financial services across the country. The results are also expected to help policymakers respond to emerging trends and support the development of financial products and services that better meet the needs of consumers. CBSI Governor Dr Luke Forau said one of the key objectives of the 2026 survey was to inform the review and development of financial inclusion targets and action plans. He said the findings would contribute to the formulation of the next Financial Inclusion Strategy for Solomon Islands. The first National Demand Side Survey was conducted by CBSI in 2015 with support from the Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme, now UNCDF, and the Alliance for Financial Inclusion. The 2026 survey is funded by the Asian Development Bank, with the Solomon Islands National Statistics Office and Tebbutt Research providing technical support to CBSI. Tebbutt Research enumerators will conduct the fieldwork and collect the survey data. CBSI expects the findings to be released by the end of 2026.

This is one of five projects being implemented by Solomon Power and the Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification (MMERE) with joint funding support from Asian Development Bank (ADB), Solomon Islands Government and Strategic Climate Fund. The project is designed to connect electricity networks to solar grid connected plants integrated with battery storage to reduce reliance on costly imported diesel. $8.4 million support comes from ADB. The five solar projects come under Government’s solar power development project which costs $15.2 million. Present at the programme were representatives from the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (OPMC), ADB, Solomon Power executive and technical team and provincial and community members. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Central Islands Premier Kenneth Sagupari formally pledged ownership of the project to the people of Central Islands. He also urged them to be responsible in taking care of the project so that it can benefit them in the long run. Chris Hunupauro, deputy secretary for Corporate Services from MMERE voiced the need for careful balancing in order to reduce costing of energy. Speaking on behalf of ADB, Michael White stressed that the project aims to reduce dependence on diesel, support local businesses and economic activities and contribute to clean environment. Solomon Power Chairman David KC Quan said the project which dates back to 2016, although small is very significant. He stressed that this project and four others that are yet to be commissioned can help drive down dependence on diesel. The remaining four provincial centres yet to have their solar hybrid plant projects commissioned are Munda, Lata, Kirakira and Malu’u.
