This week at APLN, Tanvi Kulkarni and Elaine Natalie present six key insights from APLN’s project on nuclear disarmament and the Pacific Islands, and we share a reminder about our upcoming webinar on the climate-nuclear-geopolitical nexus in the Pacific. 

As always, we bring you recent activities from our network, including analysis on India’s elections, China’s nuclear thinking, and diplomacy and dialogue as statecraft.

In this project report, Tanvi Kulkarni and Elaine Natalie share insights from APLN’s project, Voices from Pacific Island Countries. Based on publications, events, and research commissioned during the project period, Kulkarni and Natalie identify six key themes of the project:

• The looming threat of the climate-nuclear-security nexus on Pacific Island communities
• The impact of US-China rivalry on Pacific solidarity and foreign policy
• The need for greater representation of Pacific perspectives
• The importance of nuclear justice and how it should be pursued
• How to build trust and engagement across the region
• The crucial role of women in fighting for a nuclear-free Pacific
