AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Plastics Policy Push: The Cook Islands’ National Environment Services is developing a National Action Plan on plastic pollution, backed by the Australia-funded Pacific Ocean Litter Project, with a focus on practical alternatives to single-use plastics and behaviour change led by government, business and communities. Water Governance: Former Cook Islands PM Henry Puna has been appointed chair of Rarotonga’s water authority, To Tatou Vai, replacing Brian Mason, as the utility targets safe, reliable and sustainable water services. Offshore Finance Demand: Wealth Web says demand for Cook Islands trusts and offshore asset protection is rising, citing higher litigation risk and greater public visibility of wealth; Cook Islands Finance data shows 1,023 registrations and renewals in the latest quarter. Maritime Security: NZDF supported Cook Islands Police with fisheries patrols and air reconnaissance in May, backing Operation Tui Moana and Operation Kiwa to deter illegal activity and serious organised crime. Deep-Sea Minerals Science: NOAA will lead a 28-day expedition mapping deep waters around the Cook Islands in July–August, with data and samples shared publicly and with local stewardship efforts. Regional Cybercrime: Fiji hosted Pacific legal experts to finalise a regional handbook to strengthen cybercrime laws, including support for the Cook Islands’ participation.
