Last update: 6 hours agoNuclear health justice: Kiribati renewed calls for “nuclear justice” at the UN, saying communities on Kiritimati Island faced “little protection and inadequate warning” during 1957–1962 nuclear tests, with lasting health harms including cancer and severe birth abnormalities. Health system support: India and Kiribati met in Suva to strengthen cooperation on copra and coconut oil, and India reiterated its health support—last year it sent a 6-bedded container-based dialysis unit to Kiribati to help build local care capacity. Climate and food security: A new report warns that Super El Niño can disrupt marine ecosystems and fisheries by weakening upwelling and reducing plankton productivity—risks that can hit coastal and island nutrition and livelihoods. Fisheries rules with public health links: The WTO fisheries subsidies deal is framed as a win for marine protection and artisanal fishers, but the next phase could be undermined if key countries stall talks. Governance and health: A Kiribati editorial backs the push for anti-corruption action, arguing that corruption can derail climate and health-related funding and leave communities more vulnerable.
