Oxfam – Rich countries exaggerating "true value" of climate finance by around $100 billion

Source: Oxfam Aotearoa

Rich countries have again inflated the “true value” of the climate finance they provide to low- and middle-income countries, overstating it by around $100 billion in 2024, according to new analysis by Oxfam. This exceeds the $88 billion by which climate finance was overstated in 2022.
Governments reported mobilizing nearly $137 billion in climate finance in 2024 to help Global South countries cut emissions and cope with the worsening impacts of climate breakdown. While $106 billion of the reported amount was provided as public finance, $69 billion (65 percent) was delivered as loans. Many of these loans are provided on market terms, requiring little or no financial effort from rich countries while increasing the debt burdens of countries in the Global South.
Oxfam estimates that the “true value” of the climate finance provided by rich countries in 2024 is between $33 billion and $45 billion, equivalent to no more than one-third of the amount reported. Only $15 billion to $18 billion was allocated to adaptation.
The findings come just weeks after the Bonn climate talks, where rich governments refused to strengthen the commitment they made at COP30 in Brazil to triple adaptation finance by 2035. Oxfam estimates that even tripling adaptation finance would meet only one-third of poorer countries’ adaptation needs.
Oxfam calculated the “true value” of climate finance by estimating the grant equivalents of climate-related loans and other non-grant instruments, rather than at their face value, in order to gauge rich countries’ real financial effort. Oxfam accounts for the difference between loans at market rate and those at preferential terms, while also considering the overly generous claims about the climate-related significance of these funds.
“New Zealand is outperforming other richer countries by giving all our climate funding as grants, not loans,” said Oxfam Aotearoa Policy and Advocacy Lead Nick Henry. “New Zealand’s climate grants are an essential lifeline for our Pacific neighbours and we need to keep our promise to increase the funding over time.”
“Once again, the richest and most polluting countries are inflating the value of the climate finance they provide, creating the illusion of solidarity while delivering far less than they claim,” said Oxfam Climate Policy Lead Mariana Paoli. “Instead of helping poorer countries withstand a crisis they did little to cause, rich countries are pushing them deeper into debt through loans, many offered on profitable commercial terms. It is a cruel irony: those most responsible pay less -and even make a profit- while those least responsible pay more.”
“What is needed is public, grant-based climate finance at the scale the climate crisis demands -not accounting tricks, not loans that worsen debt, and not empty promises. Grants are lifelines that enable countries to adapt to a changing climate, cut emissions, protect lives, and respond to devastating loss and damage. At COP31, rich countries need to drastically increase grant-based climate finance and finally deliver on the commitments they have made.”
Notes
Download Oxfam’s methodology note. Calculations are based on original research by INKA Consult and Steve Cutts using the latest OECD climate-related development finance datasets for 2023 and 2024. Figures are rounded to the nearest 0.5 billion.
According to the OECD, rich countries say they mobilized $136.7 billion in climate finance for Global South countries in 2024.
According to the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2025, the estimated adaptation finance needs of low- and middle-income countries range from $310 billion to $365 billion per year by 2035.
At the Bonn climate talks last month, rich governments refused to strengthen the commitment they made six months ago at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, to triple adaptation finance, which Oxfam estimates would still provide only one-third of the finance needed to meet the needs of poorer countries.

Funding boost welcomed as complexity of mental health calls continues to rise

Source: Whakarongorau Aotearoa

Every year, more than 30,000 New Zealanders reach out to 1737 in moments of distress – for support with anxiety, depression, loneliness, thoughts of self-harm, or simply not knowing where else to turn.
Whakarongorau Aotearoa has welcomed the Government's additional investment in telehealth services announced today [Telehealth investment to deliver faster access to support | Beehive.govt.nz], saying the funding will help ensure more people can connect with support when they need it.
Acting Chief Executive Brian O'Connell said the announcement reflects a growing reality facing mental health services across New Zealand.
“People aren't just reaching out more often – they're reaching out with more complex needs, higher levels of distress, and increasingly difficult situations to navigate.”
“Every day our counsellors are supporting people through some of the toughest moments of their lives. This investment recognises both the changing demand for support and the incredible work our teams do to meet it.”
The additional funding will enable Whakarongorau to recruit more counsellors, increasing frontline staffing for 1737.
Alongside additional counsellors, Whakarongorau is continuing to invest in digital tools designed to improve access to support. Around 5,000 people access the 1737 Digital Hub each month, and new initiatives include an AI-powered Welcome Service and a Mental Health Navigation Platform to help people find the support that's right for them.
“This investment is about much more than funding,” said Mr O'Connell. “It's about making sure that when someone reaches out for help, there's someone there to answer.”
“For someone sitting alone at and taking the brave step of reaching out, being able to connect with a counsellor sooner can make all the difference.”
While demand for 1737 is changing, it is the changing nature of those conversations that is placing the greatest pressure on the service. Four in ten callers are already known to secondary mental health services and the average length of a call has increased by around 50 percent since the service was established.
“Our counsellors are spending more time with people because the issues they're dealing with are more complex. That's not a failure of the system – it's a reflection of the pressure many New Zealanders are under.”
Despite that growing complexity, more than 75 percent of people who contact 1737 have their needs met within that initial interaction, without needing referral elsewhere. Research has also shown the service saves lives and prevents more than 150 suicide attempts each year.
“1737 is often the front door to support. For many people it's the first conversation they have about how they're feeling.”
“It's immediate, it's free, it's available 24 hours a day.

Save the Children – "They’re flinching at the slightest noise" – Children’s mental wellbeing at stake two weeks on from devastating Venezuela earthquakes

Source: Save the Children

Children are showing signs of mental distress in the wake of last month’s devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, with parents and psychologists reporting children flinching at the slightest noise, finding it difficult to sleep, and showing more signs of irritability and aggression.
  Children who have undergone such stressful experiences will often show their stress through behaviour changes and need support to recover, said Save the Children.
  Save the Children has established safe spaces for children within the earthquake zone where families can bring their children to play and regain a sense of normalcy and strengthen their resilience, while also being assessed for more severe psychosocial distress or other protection concerns.
  Counsellors at these spaces have reported some children are showing signs of acute distress including anger, while children as young as seven or eight are saying they are scared of what the future holds. Some parents have told our staff that their children now become anxious when they see the cracks in the ground, while others are struggling to sleep at night and are flinching when they hear loud sounds such as rumbles of thunder.
  Some older children told Save the Children staff that they had to protect and rescue younger family members while they escaped from the earthquake, despite feeling deeply scared themselves, and continue to carry this anxiety with them.
  Around 1.8 million people including about 680,000 children have been impacted by the earthquakes that struck Venezuela two weeks ago, many of whom witnessed their friends and family members die before their eyes, with mental and health and psychosocial support identified by the UN and NGOs as one of the key needs facing affected people.
  Children who have experienced extremely distressing events are at risk of long-lasting impacts for months or even years to come unless they receive mental health and psychosocial support at the onset of the distressful event, said Save the Children.
  Two-year-old Daisy- was with her parents when the earthquake struck their home in Caracas. When Daisy stopped eating after the earthquake, her mother Yusmary-, 24, brought her to Save the Children’s mobile health clinic, run by local partner Paluz. Yusmary said that Daisy will now only breastfeed for comfort and will only eat a few spoonfuls of solid food if she is extremely hungry.
Yusmary said: “Before the earthquake, [Daisy] used to eat normally, just fine. But after the earthquake, she became like this. When she sees cracks on the floor, she starts crying and screaming. Then she calls me and says, “Mom, look at the floor!”
Isabel-,
“In our safe spaces where children come to play and receive support, we are seeing children who are scared about what the future holds. They are telling us things such as ‘my parents worked so hard to have a house, and now we have nothing.’ Children as young as seven or eight are deeply worried about how they're going to rebuild their lives.
“Our safe spaces allow children to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment which is vital since some children are telling our teams that they are reluctant to express their fears at home, as they see their parents and caregivers upset and worried”.
Fatima Andraca, Save the Children’s Country Director in Venezuela said:
“Many children in Venezuela have experienced extremely distressing events that no child should ever have to see. They have witnessed their friends and family members die before their eyes, while others continue to live with the uncertainty of not knowing where their loved ones are. Thousands of children are sheltering in tents in the streets where their daily routines and sense of security have been ripped away.
“Protection and psychosocial support are urgent priorities for children. With so many people dead, injured or missing, and so many families uprooted from their homes, children need both immediate and long-term support to ensure that this devastating disaster does not cause long lasting mental harm. With the right help, most children psychologically impacted by the earthquakes will eventually be able to recover.”
  Save the Children is an independent, impartial child rights organisation, working in Venezuela since 2019. Since the humanitarian crisis started to rapidly deteriorate a few years ago, Save the Children has been scaling up its response through local partners to support the increasing number of children in need.

BANGLADESH: Deadly landslide kills seven more children in Rohingya camps

Source: Save the Children

A landslide triggered by monsoon rains has reportedly killed seven students and a teacher at a school in the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh, with more children being pulled from the rubble in the second deadly incident this week, Save the Children said.
The landslide came after at least eight people – including five children – died in flooding and landslides on 6 July in Cox’s Bazar, the world’s largest refugee settlement, that is home to more than one million Rohingya refugees, most of them women and children.
Several Save the Children learning centres have been damaged by heavy rain and flash floods, forcing their temporary closure. Homes, clean water sources and latrines and washing facilities have also been damaged.
Rohingya refugees mostly live in shacks made of bamboo and plastic sheets that cling to steep, bare hills. Flooding has further worsened their living conditions along with an overall deterioration of conditions inside the camps due to aid cuts in 2025 and donors scaling back funding for the protracted crisis.
Golam Mostofa, Head of the Cox’s Bazar Area Office at Save the Children in Bangladesh, said:
“The deaths of these students are a devastating reminder of the dangers children in the Rohingya camps face when extreme weather strikes. They are living in one of Bangladesh’s most climate-vulnerable regions, where crowded camps cling to landslide-prone hillsides.
“With the monsoon far from over, the risks remain acute. Continued rainfall is threatening to trigger further landslides, disrupting learning, damaging fragile shelters and leaving children exposed to serious health threats, including dengue, cholera and diarrhoea.
“Save the Children is working with partners and government authorities to strengthen disaster preparedness, anticipatory action and early warnings in the Rohingya camps.
“Protecting children from increasingly severe weather must be a priority. Communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis in Bangladesh need stronger infrastructure, safer learning spaces and sustained support to reduce the risks they face year after year.”
Save the Children has been working in Cox's Bazar since 2012 and significantly increased its activities following the 2017 exodus of refugees to Bangladesh, with programs in education, health and nutrition, food, water, shelter, and child protection services.

Dairy Sector – Fonterra revises its 2026/27 forecast Farmgate Milk Price

Source: Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd

Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd has today updated its forecast 2026/27 Farmgate Milk Price off the back of declining prices at recent Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auctions.
 
The revised forecast is $9.25 per kgMS, with a new range of $8.00 – $10.50 per kgMS.
 
This is down from the opening forecast of $9.75 per kgMS announced in May, when the Co-operative started with a wide range of $8.00 – $11.00 per kgMS to reflect the potential for volatility and varied outcomes throughout the season.
 
Fonterra CEO Richard Allen says the change to the 2026/27 forecast reflects softer-than-expected demand at a time of strong global supply.
 
“GDT prices have fallen 11% across the reference products that inform the Farmgate Milk Price since we announced the opening forecast in late May, while milk production from key exporting regions is up on last year. We’re expecting a strong start to the season in New Zealand, noting the potential for the El Niño weather pattern to impact global supply as the season progresses,” says Mr Allen.
 
“It’s very early days in terms of the proportion of our FY27 sales book that has been contracted, so we face significant exposure to changes in commodity prices.”
 
Mr Allen says the Co-operative continues to focus on maximising returns for its farmer shareholders.
 
“As the seasonal supply picks up, our plan will ensure we utilise our flexible operations footprint, strong customer relationships and robust supply chain to shift milk into the products and markets where we can get the best returns for our farmers’ milk.”
 
The 2025/26 forecast Farmgate Milk Price of $9.60 – $9.80 per kgMS, with a mid-point of $9.70, remains unchanged.

Tertiary Education – Cost of tertiary education will be 19% higher than 2 years ago

Source: Tertiary Education Union

The union for academics and staff working in universities, polytechnics and wānanga say that the proposal to permit tertiary institutions to increase student fees to 6% in a year when fees-free support has been withdrawn is unacceptable and irresponsible.
President Te Tiriti for the Tertiary Education Union (TEU), Ti Lamusse, says the 6% addition proposed by the Government in the Annual Maximum Fee Movement would push fees for New Zealand students to more than 19% above 2024 levels.
“Everyone is suffering from the cost of living crisis. To remove fees free and to push student costs and debt even higher is cruel, short-term thinking by this Government.”
Ti Lamusse says that students are being asked to absorb fee increases at nearly double the rate of general price increases. Inflation currently sits at 3.1%.
“This puts the burden of education on the shoulders of young people and their whānau. We want our young people to enter the workforce armed with skills, energy and great ideas, not weighed down by debt.
“Ultimately TEU believes education is a public good and it should be freely accessible to all. We want to set our young people up for success, not use their education as a profit-making machine.”
Aidan Donoghue, President of Victoria University of Wellington Students’ Association (VUWSA) says students are doing it hard. 
In a recent State of the Student Survey conducted by VUWSA with 1200 students at Victoria University, 38% of respondents said they had skipped a meal in the last fortnight.
“Our everyday living costs and debt have been compounded. Having fees free ripped away from us was an absolute kick in the teeth. I had a student phone me in tears after the annoucement, because they’d budgeted their education under the assumption that their last year would be free.They’ve now left university.
“Students I talk to are wondering why they’d stay in New Zealand. We’re talking about losing the next generation of nurses, teachers, doctors, agricultural workers and engineers – highly skilled people who should be moving into our workforce, but they can’t see why they’d stay with the level of debt and cost and a better lifestyle overseas. There’s a sense that there’s no support for them here in their own country.”
Ti Lamusse says the Annual Maximum Fee Movement has become a mechanism for passing the chronic government underfunding of universities, polytechnics and wānanga onto students.
“The answer to creating a thriving society for our young people is proper government investment, not higher fees.
The Tertiary Education Union submitted on the consultation which closed this morning.
Notes:
  • 19% increase in student fees cost since 2024 is based on: the 6% increases over three years ( link) are compounding. In other words, each year’s 6% increase is calculated on the already-increased fee from the year before (assuming a TEI chooses to go with the maximum). Over 3 years, this works out to be just over 19%.
  • Public investment in tertiary education sits more than 24% below the OECD average ( link).

Election 2026 – EMA calls for fewer policy shocks, more certainty for business in 2026 Election Policy Directives

Source: EMA

A plan for manufacturing, a clear future for energy, and stable settings for the business community are the post-election policy directions for the EMA as November’s general election approaches.
The EMA’s 2026 Election Policy Directives, released today, focus on further improving the business environment for EMA members and the wider business community across the key areas in which the EMA policy team operates, as well as several broader strategic themes.
The directives centre on five key priorities: stability and certainty, infrastructure and consenting, energy supply, employment legislation, and investment and innovation.
Collectively, they have the common goal of improving business productivity.
“In the past few years, we have seen the rapid progression of de-industrialisation across New Zealand,” says the EMA’s Head of Advocacy Alan McDonald.
“The time is right to make a clear call on retaining the critical businesses that underpin our supply chain resilience, and to ensure the policy settings are in place to support them.
“There are always a number of factors behind the closures of these businesses, but a common factor has been the cost and availability of energy supply. We’ve gone from a country that attracted international business because of our energy supply, to having energy costs and availability routinely cited as a reason for closing domestic businesses.
“We need to accelerate new supply, unlock the regulatory constraints faced by our transmission network, and further encourage electrification.
“However, we also need to ensure we have sufficient firming capacity available to back up the electricity system during dry years. It’s a tough mix to get right, but our market regulators are clearly failing.”
McDonald also highlighted the lack of work readiness among those graduating from educational institutions as a major concern that needed further work.
“The number of NEETs (those not in employment, education, or training) in the 18-24 age bracket continues its concerning rise. There is no doubt one of the drivers behind these numbers is a reluctance by employers to hire those new faces. They are simply not ready for the workforce, lacking many basic skills, and struggling with the simple disciplines of turning up, listening and engaging in the workplace.
“We are finally acknowledging that not all school leavers are going to university and that we need residency pathways for skilled workers, not just university grads, in our immigration system.
“But none of the recent changes, which we see as moving in a positive direction for business, will endure if we face another round of political utu and change for its own sake.
“Reforms in areas such as the problematic RMA, infrastructure planning and implementation, education and immigration, fast-tracking energy generation, employment law and gains in Free Trade Agreements need time to settle and stick.
“That’s regardless of who is in Government.”
McDonald says the past decade of constant change and turmoil, both domestically and internationally, has left businesses hardened but cautious, with managing crises becoming a form of BAU (business as usual).
Businesses are also navigating emerging challenges such as AI – particularly the need for strong governance to capture its benefits while supporting workforce adaptation. The EMA has launched Workforce 2030 to help businesses prepare for this shift.
“Some calm would be a welcome respite. That’s why you see these calls for a grand coalition (not going to happen) and bi-partisanship (not that realistic either) popping up.
“If whoever forms the Government can keep the major settings and guardrails in place, and make some adjustments around the edges, that’s about as close to bi-partisanship as we can expect – and that level of stability would be welcome.”
McDonald says that level of domestic certainty, ideally matched by greater global stability, is needed to unlock the underlying strength in the economy, which remains dampened by ongoing uncertainty.
“And could we throw in a four-year electoral term too please.”
The EMA’s 2026 Election Policy Directives, developed from extensive engagement with EMA members, has been shared with political parties and policymakers ahead of the election. The document is available at: EMA_Policy-Directives_2026_A4_07FA-spreads.pdf (ref; https://ema.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/EMA_Policy-Directives_2026_A4_07FA-spreads.pdf )

Advocacy – Did Winston Peters stay silent on explosive UN Commission report so it wouldn’t interfere with his first meeting with the new US ambassador?

Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA)

PSNA is accusing Foreign Minister Winston Peters of staying silent on the explosive UN Independent Commission report on Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian children so it wouldn’t interfere with his first meeting with the new US ambassador – pictured above.

“It’s clear to us the two are linked” says PSNA National spokesperson Rinad Tamimi. “Winston Peters would see this as clever politics but his refusal to condemn Israel’s targeting of Palestinian children has betrayed New Zealand values in favour of obeyance to Israel and the US.”

In the report released by the United Nations Independent Commission late last month, in the leadup to Peters’ first meeting with the ambassador, Israel is accused of deliberately killing Palestinian children in Occupied Gaza and the Occupied West Bank using sniper rifles and quadcopter drones. (ref. https://www.un.org/unispal/document/coi-report-23jun26/ )

Doctors on medical missions in Gaza reported to the commission that it appeared Israeli Defence Force (IDF) soldiers were engaged in a “game” of target practice with “different body parts being targeted on different days”.

The comprehensive report, drawing from multiple sources, details horrendous war crimes against Palestinian children, including the horrific killing of Hind Rajab, and calls on all countries to take immediate action to protect Palestinian children and hold Israel to account.

“This report is sickening and heartbreaking reading” says Ms Tamimi. “New Zealanders know what’s going on and they know our government is complicit”

“Polls repeatedly show New Zealanders favour sanctions against Israel (41% yes, 27% no) but Winston is playing to his NZ First base which is the most opposed to sanctions”

“We are living in a time of great shame for this country. Our people are on the right side but our Foreign Minister is on side with the genocide”

“In light of the latest UN report PSNA is renewing its call for the government to withhold visas from all Israeli military personnel and hold Israel to account for its cruelty and its war crimes.”

As UN Independent Commissioner Chris Sidoti says:

“Anyone who has served in the Israeli Forces in Gaza since October 2023 should be considered a suspect in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide”

“We agree,” says Ms Tamimi.

Employment Disputes – 1,300 PSA members at DIA to strike on Monday

Source: PSA

More than 1,300 PSA members working at the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) will walk off the job for two hours tomorrow (Monday 13 June) in support of their claim for a pay offer that keeps pace with the cost of living.
Rallies will be held from 11.30am to 12.30pm at picket lines in Auckland (corner of 38 Stanley Street), Wellington (corner of Waterloo Quay and Whitmore Street), and Christchurch (Bridge of Remembrance).
“These workers are going on strike as a last resort,” said Duane Leo, National Secretary for the Public Service Association Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi. “After months of bargaining, DIA’s pay offer represents an increase of less than 1% for most members – well below the increase in cost of living.”
“DIA needs to come to the table with a fair offer, and the Government needs to fund public services so they can pay their workers fairly. The Government’s decisions to vilify and underfund public services are hurting these workers.”
The workers going on strike include those who process passports and documents recording our births, deaths, marriages and citizenship, National Library and Archives staff, gambling and anti-money laundering regulators, staff working on digital safety, child exploitation prevention, and violent extremism prevention, as well as community operations and emergency management roles.
What: Picket line rallies for DIA strikes
When: 11.30am-12.30pm, Monday 13 July
Where:
– Corner of 38 Stanley Street (Auckland)
– Corner of Waterloo Quay and Whitmore Street (Wellington)
