AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoDengue Alert for Travellers: Hawai‘i’s Department of Health confirmed a new travel-related dengue virus case on Oʻahu, bringing the state total to six cases in 2026; officials say the person was exposed while travelling in a dengue-prone region and the risk of local spread is low, but health teams are inspecting and stepping up mosquito control. Mosquito Control Reminder: DOH urged residents to cut standing water around homes and workplaces—small containers, planters, rain barrels and even cups can breed mosquitoes—so local transmission risk stays down. Climate Watch for the Pacific: A new report warns the South-West Pacific is getting hotter and more acidic, with 2025 the second warmest year on record and marine heatwaves disrupting fisheries and ecosystems. El Niño Build-Up: Forecasters say El Niño is underway and may intensify to moderate or strong levels this fall, shifting storm patterns and increasing the chance of more extreme weather across the region. Community-Led Conservation: Leaders and youth gathered in Rarotonga for a Pacific learning exchange focused on Indigenous governance, Rāhui-style management, and climate resilience through community-led conservation. Youth Sport Spotlight: Fiji’s women’s U18 handball team is set to debut at the IHF Youth World Championship in Romania, a milestone for women’s sport in Oceania, though funding for travel and medical support remains a challenge.
