Pacific climate resilience: Fiji communities are using Indigenous knowledge—like watching wild yam vines, bees and hornets—to spot cyclone signs months ahead, showing how traditional ecological knowledge can strengthen modern disaster planning as climate change intensifies storms. Pacific languages & identity: A new multilingual poetry anthology, The Ocean Remembers, puts Cook Islands Māori, Niuean, Sāmoan, Tongan and Solomon Islands Pijin at the centre, supported by Tala: Sharing Pacific Stories to help more Pacific writers publish in their own languages. Gender diversity in Pacific context: A global look at gender fluidity highlights that many cultures—including Niue’s fiafifine and Tonga’s fakaleiti—have long recognised identities beyond the gender binary, challenging the idea that this is a “new” Western trend. Tourism & ocean stewardship: The Pacific Tourism Organisation joined the Australia-Pacific Ocean Business Leaders Summit in Cairns, positioning tourism as a partner in ocean protection, climate adaptation and sustainable development. Niue-relevant culture spotlight: The week also included a focus on Pacific heritage in sport and storytelling, from Pacific rugby league milestones to the wider push to keep Pacific voices visible.
