In 2019, UNEP contracted Asia Pacific Waste Consultants (APWC) to conduct a waste audit in Palau. Baseline data was obtained in November 2019 relating to current waste management, generation and characterisation through waste audits conducted on households, commercial premises and landfills in Palau.
The overall aim of this handbook is to offer a guide that brings together important information about disaster management and response for Palau in an effort to provide a basic understanding for the reader.
Soil properties that affect land use are described in this soil survey. Broad areas of soils are shown on the general soil map. The location of each soil is shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the survey area is described. Information on specific uses is given for each soil.

The Mauritius Strategy for Implementation (MSI) was adopted during the second global conference on the sustainable development of the small island developing states (SIDs). It is broad‐based. Its 20 chapters address a wide range of issues that have unique ramifications in the context of small islands. Cross-cutting issues include planning for sustainability, climate change, sea level rise, energy, transportation, communications, and information. Environmental issues include biodiversity, water and land resources, and waste management.
The Disaster Management Reference Handbook Series is intended to provide decision makers, planners, responders and disaster management practitioners with an overview of the disaster management structure, policies, laws, and plans for Tuvalu covered in the series. Natural and man-made threats most likely to affect the country are discussed. The handbooks also provide basic country background information, including cultural, demographic, geographic, infrastructure and other relevant data
This soil survey contains information that affects land use planning in different survey areas of Palau. It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land uses. The survey also highlights soil limitations, improvements needed to overcome the limitations, and the impact of selected land uses on the environment. This survey is designed for many different users.
