Papua New Guinea: News, Culture and Practical Updates

Papua New Guinea sits at the edge of the Pacific and surprises most people: more than 800 languages, rich traditions and fast-changing politics and industry. If you want clear, useful updates — not just headlines — this tag page pulls together the stories that matter for people watching PNG from near and far.

Expect reporting on the issues that shape daily life: government moves in Port Moresby, resource projects and their local impact, regional diplomacy in the Pacific, and how climate change is shifting coastal communities. We focus on facts you can use — what changed, who it affects, and what comes next.

What we cover

Politics and governance: plain explanations of key decisions, elections, and regional talks. We break down policy and how it affects services, local leaders, and national debates. No jargon — just the essentials.

Economy and resources: PNG’s economy leans on mining, oil and gas, fisheries and agriculture (coffee, cocoa). Our pieces explain big projects, local jobs, and disputes over land and royalties so you understand both the headlines and the community side.

Environment and climate: rising seas, coastal erosion and logging are real issues for PNG’s islands and mainland villages. We report on how communities adapt, where aid and policy matter, and which areas are at risk.

Culture and society: you’ll find features on music, art, festivals and daily life — from traditional practices to modern youth culture and sports. These stories show the human side beyond politics and projects.

Travelers and researchers: quick tips you’ll actually need. Port Moresby can be lively but you should plan security, local guides and transport ahead. The currency is the kina (PGK).
