The increased demand for high quality products in export markets, coupled with Pacific Island Countries (PICs) national desire to protect the environment, biodiversity and family farming structures, lead to assume that organic agriculture could offer good prospects for PICs development. Besides market opportunities, organic agriculture could increase PICs food self-reliance and thus, contribute to reducing the alarming trend of dependency on food imports, as well as improving nutrition.
This is the report for the Reefs at Risk Revisited analysis. Reefs at Risk Revisited is a high-resolution update of the original global analysis, Reefs at Risk: A Map-Based Indicator of Threats to the World’s Coral Reefs. Reefs at Risk Revisited uses a global map of coral reefs at 500-m resolution, which is 64 times more detailed than the 4-km resolution map used in the 1998 analysis, and benefits from improvements in many global data sets used to evaluate threats to reefs (most threat data are at 1 km resolution, which is 16 times more detailed than those used in the 1998 analysis).
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.
This study is also available for the Cook Islands, the FederatedStates of Micronesia, the Republic of Fiji, Kiribati, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Nauru, Niue, the Republic of Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, the Kingdom of Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu and the Republic of Vanuatu
The review includes an assessment of institutional capacities, synergies and inter-linkages with the objective of delivering an efficient and sustainable waste management service
This document represents a concise report on the state of the environment for Kiribati published in 1994.
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.
