More than four years on from one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in history, Tonga is struggling to improve its infrastructure as it pays off a massive Chinese loan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/04/05/tonga-debt-china-eruption/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tonga #china #volcanoes #indopacific #loans #debt

I know nothing about Tonga's #infrastructure , but on reading this article

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/sep/30/tonga-pacific-island-internet-underwater-cables-volcanic-eruption

I wonder: during the 2022 disaster, could #Tonga not have used #radio to communicate between its islands, and with the outer world? The article doesn't even mention the possibility. Surely Tonga must have had some radio infrastructure, at least prior to the #internet ? Has it all withered away?

Top UN court says countries can sue each other over climate change

by Esme Stallard and Georgina Rannard
BBC News Climate and Science
July 24, 2025

"A landmark decision by a top UN court has cleared the way for countries to sue each other over climate change, including over historic emissions of planet-warming gases.

"But the judge at the International Court of Justice in the Hague, Netherlands on Wednesday said that untangling who caused which part of climate change could be difficult.

"The ruling is non-binding but legal experts say it could have wide-ranging consequences.

"It will be seen as a victory for countries that are very vulnerable to climate change, who came to court after feeling frustrated about lack of global progress in tackling the problem.

"The unprecedented case at the International Court of Justice (#ICJ) was the brainchild of a group of young law students from low-lying #PacificIslands on the frontlines of climate change, who came up with the idea in 2019.

"One of those students, #SiosiuaVeikune from #Tonga, was in #TheHague to hear the decision.

" 'I'm lost for words. This is so exciting. There's a ton of emotions rushing through us. This is a win we take proudly back home to our communities,' he told BBC News.

" 'Tonight I'll sleep easier. The ICJ has recognised what we have lived through - our suffering, our resilience and our right to our future,' said Flora Vano, from the Pacific Island #Vanuatu, which is considered the country most vulnerable to #ExtremeWeather globally.

" 'This is a victory not just for us but for every frontline community fighting to be heard.'

"The ICJ is considered the world's highest court and it has global jurisdiction. Lawyers have told BBC News that the opinion could be used as early as next week, including in national courts outside of the ICJ.

"Campaigners and climate lawyers hope the landmark decision will now pave the way for compensation from countries that have historically burned the most fossil fuels and are therefore the most responsible for #GlobalWarming."
