Tuvalu workshop launches BOLD climate loss and damage project
Tuvalu begins a new regional project to assess climate‑related economic and non‑economic losses and damages, supporting future adaptation and policy decisions.
In early March 2026, Tuvalu hosted an inception workshop in Funafuti for the Building Our Pacific Loss and Damage (BOLD) Response Project, led by the Tuvalu Department of Climate Change with support from SPREP and Climate Analytics. The event brings together key environment stakeholders to design a framework for measuring both economic and non‑economic climate losses, such as saltwater intrusion into pulaka pits and impacts on culture and livelihoods. Projections show that by 2050 half of Funafuti could face regular tidal flooding, and by 2100 more than 90 percent of the landmass could be underwater. The project aims to generate evidence that can inform national and regional policy and funding for loss and damage, strengthening Tuvalu’s resilience to climate change while sharing lessons with other Pacific island nations.
