PacWaste is a project funded by the European Union and implemented by SPREP to improve regional hazardous waste management across the Pacific in the priority areas of healthcare waste, asbestos
waste, E-waste and integrated atoll waste management.
This fact-sheet outlines a brief information about Kiribati, with activities taking place in the project domains of healthcare waste, e-waste and asbestos.
These Regulations may be cited as the Domestic Fishing Zone Limit Regulations 2015 and shall come into force on the date of its publication by notice at the Office of the Beretitenti.
The purpose of these regulations are to;
* establish a shark sanctuary in Kiribati water to ensure conservation of sharks
* protect the balance of the marine ecosystem include commercially important fish species and the health of marine habitats such as coral reefs
* help sustain and develop the economy of Kiribati from shark and marine-related ecotourism
his NBSAP 2016 – 2020 was developed with the main purpose to identify the Kiribati Biodiversity priority action plans from 2017 - 2020. It is also a means to meet Kiribati’s obligation under the Convention on Biological Diversity which Kiribati is party to, to achieve the Aichi Targets set by the Convention for parties to work towards until 2020.
This document was developed with a vision statement, “The people of Kiribati continue to enjoy their natural biodiversity that is resilient to the impacts of climate change and supports the socio- economic livelihoods.
The first chapter establishes the energy balance of the island group, looking at the energy flow at various stages of production and imports, transformation and consumption by end users. The subsequent chapters focus on the sources of net energy supplies for the group (petroleum, renewable energy and power) and in-depth analysis of end use consumption sectors (transport, commercial, industrial, government, fisheries, residential, community and social services).
This report identifies sites for PA management and PA network expansion. It also clearly highlights threatened species present in Kiribati and their locations as well as linking to the implementation of the NBSAP objectives.
This Kiribati Joint Implementation Plan on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (KJIP) has been
developed to reduce the vulnerabilities to the impacts of climate change and disaster risks and to coordinate
priorities so that every single dollar spent will derive maximum value.
The people of Abaiang face many challenges in daily life. Human habitation on the atoll is only possible due to the presence of an underground freshwater lens. This report describes adaptive and coping capacity of Abaiang and the sensitivity of livelihood-based resources to climate change and disaster risks.

Global warming and associated sea-level rise are undoubtedly significant challenges for SIDS, including atoll nations such as Kiribati. Nevertheless, securing small island state futures also requires a renewed commitment to addressing the obvious and immediate threats of urbanisation, pollution and sanitation which is the subject of this paper.
The Strategy covers the period from 2008 until 2011 with biennial reviews to ensure all emerging issues are included and addressed.
Documenting the development trends and implications on biodiversity within the Republic of Kiribati
This Strategy was developed through a number of consultations including interviews with representatives of line ministries, development partners and supporting agencies, NGOs and the general public.
This Kiribati V&A Assessment Methodology (KVAAM) is prepared as a tool to assess studies and assessment reports that have already been prepared. It will also assist in determining whether, from much of the information already available in reports on the vulnerability of Kiribati to climate change, additional information is needed.
