A guiding presentation on a series of regional dialogue seminars and field visits held in order to raise awareness, capacity and identify opportunities for effective policy coherence, implementation and mainstreaming of nature-based solutions at the national level.
Workflow showing the different steps from data collection, processing, validation to upload to the data portal. Links to indicator development, reporting, communication products and informed decision making are made. You are free to use this workflow to help explain and support data management and sharing.
This Practical Guide is the compilation of good practices identified and developed by experts in the region through J-PRISM Phase I. This covers all solid waste management (SWM) issues from the technical ones, such as waste generation survey and landfill improvement, to the managerial ones, such as contract management and user pays system. These good practices have high applicability to other Pacific islands, although modification and adaptation are always necessary.

A report on the regional inception of the second phase of the Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management (BIOPAMA) programme, for the Pacific that was held at the Tanoa Tusitala Hotel, Apia, Samoa from 11th to 15th June 2018.
This guidebook is an unprecedented effort by NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication (CEC) and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas-Marine (WCPA) to inspire a
new view on communication.
This report card provides an easy-to-read, scientifically robust summary of what we know about marine and coastal climate change impacts in the Pacific.
The Pacific region is already having to address loss and damage, where climate change impacts exceed the limits of adaptation. In a 1.5˚C scenario these losses will be greater than today, however with planning and investment it will be possible for many Pacific island societies to adapt to the impacts of climate change in order to minimize these losses and to develop more resilient societies.
Effects of climate change on corals
Effects of climate change on sea levels and inundation in the Pacific region
The assessment is based on long-term observation series of the large scale features that influence the climate and weather of Pacific CMSs.
The objectives of this monitoring program are:
■ To detect and quantify major changes through time in the community structure and health of mangroves in the Pacific Island Region using biological and physical parameters.
■ To develop a centralised database system for mangrove monitoring for use by all
This policy applies to SPREP’s own data as well as data held by SPREP on behalf of government agencies and partners within the Pacific.
The purpose of this policy is to:
• encourage the free exchange of data with other government agencies and partners within the Pacific and with the public in the Pacific and beyond
• promote the benefits of data sharing, and its links to good governance, accountability, public participation and the rule of law
