The Legislative Assembly of Tonga will be hosting an Inter-Generational Summit and faciltate an important dialogue between Pacific and Tongan Youth with the United Nations Secretary General, His Excellency Mr. Antonio Guterres on 26 August, 2024 at the Legislative Assembly in Nuku’alofa.

Addressing Food Security and Cyber-Security

The second day of the conference began with a focused examination of the Pacific Islands' food security challenges. Panelists discussed the dual pressures of internal factors such as climate change—which exacerbates soil degradation and erratic weather patterns—and external factors including global market volatility and reliance on imported food. These issues combine to create a precarious situation for local food systems.
