Nuclear justice push: Kiribati has renewed calls at the UN for nuclear justice, saying 33 tests on Kiritimati Island (1957–1962) left “little protection and inadequate warning,” with lasting health harms including cancer and severe birth abnormalities. NPT deadlock: The wider nuclear debate is hitting another wall: the 2026 NPT Review Conference failed to agree on any substantive disarmament sentence for the third straight time, with the “bomb” winning again. Climate-health link: In the Pacific, climate shocks are also being tied to health and safety gaps—especially for women—where cyclones can trap families in evacuation centres with damaged roads, closed clinics, and disrupted phone networks. Local health workforce: Separately, second-career nursing candidates are being highlighted as a practical way to ease staffing shortages. Blue economy: Fiji and Kiribati also signed a sandfish aquaculture deal aimed at livelihoods with environmental safeguards.
