Annual consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS). ODS consumption is measured units of ODS tonnes, which is the amount of ODS consumed, multiplied by their respective ozone depleting potential value.

The National Meteorology Service was established back in May 2015, under the Ministry of National Emergency Services (NES). Since the establishment we still have one substantive officer responsible for the NMHS. The one man officer is due to the fact that the NMHS centre is still not built. There is no sense to increase employment under NMHS at this time.
Nauru’s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) hinges on its National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) 2005-2025. The Nauru Energy Road Map 2014-2020, The Second National Communication (SNC) to the UNFCCC (submitted in 2015), and The Republic of Nauru Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management Framework (RONAdapt). In addition, relevant data and information have been used from the Nauru Bureau of Statistics and other, various government departments, private and civil society organizations.
The Nauru Energy Road Map (NERM) 2014 - 20201 was developed during 2013 and built upon the energy sector development agenda outlined in the:
The Allen Coral Atlas is a global-scale coral reef habitat mapping project that uses Planet Dove 3.7 m resolution daily satellite imagery (in combination with wave models and ecological data) to create consistent and high-detail global habitat maps to support reef-related science and conservation.
Global Benthic Habitat Maps characterize different coral reef bottom types. These bottom types include communities of living organisms attached to the reef (benthos), as well as sediments and underlying substrate.
The six Allen Coral Atlas Global Benthic Habitat Map classes described below were developed by Roelfsema et al 2013* with input from other coral reef benthic classifications.
The twelve Global Geomorphic Zones mapped by the Allen Coral Atlas are listed below, in logical order from external seaward-facing through to internal coral reef structural features. These zones are known to be fairly consistent across different biogeographic regions, and often associated with regionally distinct ecological assemblages of benthic animals and plants. Moreover, geomorphic classes like these have been shown to be reliable predictors of biological habitat richness and diversity.
