This record captures the electrification rate for selected countries in the Pacific Region. This data is also reflected in the SPC National Minimum Development Indicators (NMDI) - (http://www.spc.int/nmdi/energy ) and was last updated in October 2014. This dataset updates the electrification rate given in the FAESP 2009 indicators as it is based on the most recent census referenced to 2014.
For the Ninth Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas December 2013, the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) commissioned an assessment of the status of biodiversity and conservation in Oceania.
This dataset holds all the reports that assesses the overall state of conservation in;
* Guam
* French Polynesia
* Northern Mariana Islands

Climate change has been identified as the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security and well- being of Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs), and presents major challenges to the ability of governments to adapt and respond effectively. Despite doing little to contribute to the cause, the Pacific region is disproportionately affected. Climate change is already having significant impacts on communities, infrastructure, ecosystems, water supply, human health and livelihoods.

The Regional Seas programme of UNEP commenced in 1974 and since that time
considerable advances have been made in the development of regional action plans and
conventions for the protection of the marine and coastal areas of some eleven regions world-
wide. Following these developments UNEP has encouraged inter-regional co-operation in
addressing various issues of environmental concern through the organisation of international
meetings and inter-regional symposia. This volume contains the record of one such symposium,

The area of concern for this Regional Wetlands Action Plan (RWAP) is the Pacific islands region, extending from Palau and the Northern Mariana Islands in the north-west to French
Polynesia and Pitcaim in the south-east, encompassing 22 Pacific island countries and territories including large countries such as Papua New Guinea (PNG). It equates to the region of operation
of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).

Given the unique socio-cultural and ecological conditions of the
Pacific Islands, it is essential that the baseline studies and
monitoring conducted as part of EXA should be undertaken by
specialists from the region itself. This will have the added
advantage of exposing local specialists from a variety of
disciplines to the techniques of EIA, thus building up a regional capability in EIA over the period of the programme.

Latent sea-level rise is defined here as the sea-level rise ultimately likely to occur due to emissions of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere, i.e. if all anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases were to cease at a particular time, various global systems would continue to change in response to
the gases remaining in the atmosphere until equilibrium was reached. Those systems include the atmosphere: the cryosphere, comprising snowfields,tundra soils, glaciers and ice-caps: the biosphere,including both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems:
The Pacific Islands Climate Change Assistance Programme (PICCAP) is a three-year climate change enabling activity involving 10 Pacific Island Countries (PICs): Cook Islands, Federated States
of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. PICCAP is designed to assist PICs in meeting their reporting requirements under
Articles 4 and 12 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the United Nations
