This Master Plan outlines the way forward to generate electricity from renewable energy and to develop an energy efficiency programme in Tuvalu.
The 2012 Population and Housing census of Tuvalu is the third census conducted by the Central Statistics Division since Tuvalu gained political independence in 1978. This document is the analytical report that provides the population and housing information.
This report presents the preliminary results of the Tuvalu Population and Housing Mini-Census 2017. The Census provides a snapshot of the country at the specified night of 12th November, 2017. It is the first census to be held in Tuvalu within a 5 year period at most followed a 10 year time-frame since the country’s independence in 1978, it is called a ‘Mini-Census’ as it does not cover all of the usual process requiring of the censuses proceedings.

This report describes the objectives, activities and results of the Tuvalu Fisheries Department within the Ministry of Natural Resources during 2018.
Tuvalu faces real challenges in relation to the management of its human wastes (fekau o tino). This is despite decades of promotion of the use of water sealed flush toilets and septic tank systems as the most hygienic and safe way to dispose of human wastes. These systems were promoted as an alternative to the use of the beach for human waste disposal.

This Tuna Fishery Report Card provides high-level advice on the current status of Pacific tuna fisheries in relation to the goals, indicators and strategies adopted by Forum Leaders in 2015 in the Regional Roadmap for Sustainable Pacific Fisheries. The report card takes account of the work of the Taskforce on Increasing Economic Returns from Fisheries, which was established by the Forum Leaders to develop a programme that will deliver real results within 5 years. Economic indicators reflect Taskforce-agreed targets.
The increasing presence of plastic marine debris in the South Pacific Ocean is focusing attention on strengthening recycling policies and systems in the region. Unique challenges associated with shipping commodities of low value over long distances to recycling markets, however, reduce the economic viability to do so. This country profile includes the current technologies, material flow, logistics, public policies, institutional framework, financial mechanisms, and initiatives that are being designed or have been implemented to strengthen recycling systems in Tuvalu.

The train-the-trainers programme on “Good practices in refrigeration” is part of a comprehensive approach to reduce the ODS consumption in the refrigeration servicing sector in the Pacific region. Training programmes in “Good practices in refrigeration” were approved for the eight core countries involved in the “Regional Strategy to Comply with the Montreal Protocol (The RS) in Pacific Island Countries”. The eight countries in the Regional Strategy are the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Palau, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Our study focused specifically on nearshore fisheries of Tuvalu. We investigated the extent to which communities on two atolls, one urban and one rural, were dependent on these fisheries for both food and income. With the results we compare
current catch and consumption rates with previously published data. We also consider our results in the light of available information on the size of available standing stocks. This leads to a discussion of whether current fishing efforts are
sustainable, and what management approaches may be required.
Following the string of high intensity tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin in 2017 and the devastating impacts on small island developing states (SIDS), a number of questions have been raised about linkages between these cyclones and climate change. This briefing provides clarity on scientifically-supported connections between existing tropical cyclones and climate change. The briefing also summarises how climate change may affect tropical cyclones at increased
