Tiny nation targets climate investors to become citizens and help it change the world

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — “We will not wait for the waves to wash away our homes and infrastructure”, was the declaration by the leader of the world’s smallest republic, just after the nation had used COP29 as a launchpad for the world’s most innovative climate resilience project.

“While the world debates climate action, we must take proactive steps to secure our nation’s future,” continued President of Nauru David Adeang.

A member of the Climate Vulnerable Forum made up of developing nations on the front line of climate change, Nauru’s government is challenging investors from across the world to be a part of a bold solution not just for the nation, but globally.

The country is embarking on a project that will reform their nation in the face of climate change, which as well as dealing with issues like food and water security, includes the “Higher Ground Initiative” – relocating almost their entire population from the coast to higher ground.

This project is huge. Some may call it audacious. And it’s expensive.

Yet the man leading the charge to raise a large portion of the funds through a unique citizenship program targeting climate investors and entrepreneurs says there is already significant interest from around the world from those wanting to become ‘climate citizens’.

New Zealander Edward Clark has an extensive background in international banking, financial crime and compliance, which is exactly why the Government of Nauru appointed him as CEO of the Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program.

Mr Clark said unlike some citizenship by investment programs that have been the subject of controversy, the tightly managed Nauru program was about “flipping the narrative for climate vulnerable countries.”

“We want those who are passionate about the global future to become citizens because our goal is to transform Nauru from being a passive recipient of climate funding into an incubator for climate innovation.”

By that he means Nauru can become a model for how truly sustainable communities and their underlying infrastructure can be developed.

“Climate entrepreneurs can partner with Nauru to develop new solutions,” he said.

“Ecopreneurs can benefit from the necessary seed funding to develop new technologies and solutions, and Nauru will benefit from being a testing ground for new and cost–effective solutions.”

Mr Clark said while the citizenship program is new, he’s elated at the interest.

“The citizenship applications we have received are from those across the world who want to invest in climate resilience and be part of a higher purpose,” he said.

Jetoptera Demonstra FETT for FTC-250 no Paris Air Show 2025

PARIS, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Após o lançamento da Jetoptera no Paris Air Show 2025, temos o orgulho de anunciar o sucesso do primeiro teste do motor que alimentará o J–500, o sistema de aeronaves não tripuladas de carga VTOL de 500 libras que a Jetoptera está desenvolvendo em colaboração com Eanan Al Samma, para o mercado dos Emirados Árabes Unidos (EAU). 

O Primeiro Motor a Ser Testado (FETT) foi avaliado nas instalações da VAN DER LEE Turbo Systems em Zaandam, Holanda. O turbocompressor de 250 kW, o centro do Fluidic Propulsive System™, é um motor de dois eixos que usa uma turbina livre mecanicamente acoplada a um compressor axial de dois estágios projetado para produzir as taxas de fluxo e as razões de pressão apropriadas exigidas pelo FPS™. “O FETT demonstrou uma inicialização e operabilidade muito suaves quando operado no modo turbofan. O motor foi instrumentado nesta configuração para monitorar a pressão e a temperatura, bem como o empuxo produzido. A próxima etapa inclui o mapeamento do desempenho do turbocompressor, seguido pela integração com o FPS™ na fuselagem do J–500”, disse o Dr. Andrei Evulet, CEO/CTO da Jetoptera, Inc. 

O protótipo J–500 foi desenvolvido especificamente para o mercado dos Emirados Árabes Unidos e MENA e será habilitado exclusivamente pelo FPS™ para missões de carga não tripulada com VTOL, e velocidade, baixo ruído e confiabilidade inigualáveis, graças ao sistema de propulsão patenteado. A modularidade do sistema FTC–250 viabiliza que seus componentes operem nos modos turbojato, turbofan e FPS™. 

Jetoptera e Eanan Al Samma agradecem à Parametric Solutions, Inc. e à VAN DER LEE Turbo Systems pelo seu apoio essencial ao projeto e a fabricação da arquitetura exclusiva do FTC–250 em tempo recorde.
