NZ doubles aid to Kiribati New Zealand’s increased aid to Kiribati will target areas of urban and economic development, workforce skills development and capacity building, the NZ High Commission in Tarawa reveals. First Secretary, Michael Upton says the current financial year of NZ’s aid to Kiribati for 2010-2011 has expended

around NZ$10million, and estimates for the next financial year 20112012 will spend at least NZ$25million but possibly up to NZ$29million. “Priority sectors to which NZ support is being directed are; urban and economic development which includes Cassidy airport alongside efforts to

improve water, sanitation and solid waster management and provision for new housing plots; workforce skills development includes the Marine Training Centre and the Fisheries Training Centre as well as scholarships, plus some focused support to strengthen government capacity,” he added.

AOSIS Applauds Momentum on Kyoto Protocol Bonn, Germany—As the second week of climate talks begins here on Monday, the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) welcomes the momentum building around support for a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (KP) in Durban. On behalf of AOSIS, Ambassador Antonio Lima, Permanent Representative of Cape Verde to the United Nations and Vice Chair of AOSIS, released the following statement: “The first week of negotiations in Bonn has breathed new life into the Kyoto Protocol. A critical mass of countries is prepared to take the Kyoto Protocol forward and avoid a gap between commitment periods. We applaud South Africa for accepting this challenge when they host the annual climate summit in Durban at the end of the year. It is a goal and a duty that gives hope and provides renewed confidence, especially to the most vulnerable.” On Saturday, during negotiations on the KP, countries unanimously agreed to a proposal to resolve outstanding political and technical issues in parallel. With this agreement in hand, the stage has been set for progress on the KP in the context of a legally binding regime. The Kyoto Protocol is widely regarded as an essential component of the international response to climate change, containing a robust accounting framework and accountability provisions needed to ensure that countries are meeting their emissions reduction commitments. This important development should inspire all countries to redouble efforts to do what is necessary to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
