Time series data on the consumption of HCFCs and methal bromid in Kiribati submitted to Ozone Secretariat.
time series data on the consumption of CFC 12 & CFC 115 in Tuvalu in the past and submitted to Ozone Secretariat. This data was reported in the National Compliance Action Strategy to implement the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in Tuvalu
Community consultations have taken place on four islands to collect relevant information on island biodiversity, so as to incorporate this into the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. The perceived threats are shown in this excel sheet.
The data presents the volume and value of estimates annual fisheries catches and aqua cultural harvest in Tuvalu in 2014.
Data extracted from the Fisheries in PIC's economies' report, 2016.
The apparent changes in production for the three years sometimes represents real change in production, but it can also reflect a change in the methodology for how the production is measured (hopefully an improvement). In table above, the production levels for coastal commercial, coastal subsistence, and freshwater change significantly between the years, but some of that change is due to the way in which the production was estimated. For example, for the 2014 estimate of coastal fisheries production, the results of
the 2010 HIES were available.
Long form dataset containing data from APWC high level waste sorts and detailed container sort. See the "Pivot Table" sheet for a summary of the data contained here.
Note that average values will not work for the pivot table, as each category has a number of subcategories which messes up the calculation of averages.
he total economic value of the effects caused by Tropical Cyclone Pam was estimated to be approximately VT 48.6 billion (US$449.4 million). Of this, VT 29.3 billion (US$270.9 million) is attributable to damage, and VT 19.3 billion (US$178.5 million) is attributable to loss. This is equivalent to 64.1% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in Vanuatu, giving an indication of the scale of impact. Because of data limitations, however, it is likely that these figures underestimate the total impact.

This table provides a summary of the estimated costs for recovery and reconstruction. Total recovery and reconstruction is estimated at VT 34.1 billion (US$316 million). Of this amount VT 10.3 billion (US$95 million) is focused over the short-term (12 months to four years).

For the purpose of this PDNA, the agricultural sector is defined to include the crops, livestock, fishery, and forestry subsectors
Commerce and industry comprises close to 40% of GDP and is therefore a key sector for Vanuatu. Tropical Cyclone Pam damaged the sector’s buildings and inputs for production, and it continued to affect the sector through increased costs of inputs and reduced activity in the economy. It is important to note that the figures reported are likely to be underestimated due to the amount of data available for inclusion within this PDNA, which was prepared in a short time frame.
Vanuatu has obligations under these international conventions and agreements
The classification groups for the deepwater biological regions were driven by 30 environmental datasets including depth,
salinity and sea surface temperature.

The TC Outlook is based on statistical analyses of historical tropical cyclones data that occurred dating back to the 1970’s in similar ENSO-Neutral conditions, the same methodology developed by regional centers, with national Tropical Cyclone Outlooks utilizing national datasets.
For Samoa, (7) analogue (mapped) seasons are identical to the current ENSO conditions. Analogue Seasons (1986/87; 1990/91; 2003/04; 2004/05; 2006/07; 2009/10; 2014/15)

Average water consumption for SWA customers is in the range of 140 to 180 litres per person per day (L/c.d) which is comparable to international norm of between 150 and 200L/c.d. The SWA aims to further reduce per capita water through demand management practices to encourage wise water usage to preserve and conserve water resources.
