The Tuvalu State of Environment Report presents an overview across four thematic areas: Environmental Governance, Coastal and Marine, Atmosphere and Climate, and Built Environment. The report uses the ‘Drivers, Pressures,State, Impact and Response’ model to describe the environment. As far as possible the report is based on quantitative data relating to the state of the environment, supplemented by stakeholder input to describe causal relation-
ships and environmental effects. The report presents:

The booklet serves as:
• a guideline for implementers on project design and strategy development;
• a catalogue of vetted water security interventions to be considered for GoT and partner government funding.

The preparation of this National Strategic Action Plan for Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (NSAP) was coordinated by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), the Pacific Applied Geoscience and Technology Division (SOPAC) of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through relevant national climate change related projects.

FAO data providing an overview of Palau's profile in relation to fishery and aquaculture indicators.
In this study, sea level data from the Australian project was focused on despite the fact that the length of data is not sufficiently long. The AusAID funded South Pacific Sea Level and climate monitoring project was set up in response to concerns raised by Pacific island countries over the potential impacts of an enhanced greenhouse effect on climate and sea levels in the South Pacific for 20 years.
The policy supports Tuvalu’s key planning document, Te Kakeega II (National Strategy for Sustainable development), as well as key regional frameworks such as the Millennium Development Goals, the Pacific Plan, and the Pacific Regional Action Plan on Sustainable Water Management.
The calendar also include a local map, a table of highest and lowest predicted tides of the year, phases of the moon, indicators of highest and lowest tides of the month, and fact sheets about tidal variability and extreme high tides (also known as King Tides in the region), with additional fact-sheets on Traditional Knowledge and Tides and Sea Level for Coastal Development and Sea Navigation.
Biodiversity is part and parcel of Tuvalu's development framework. This NBSAP is the first formal consolidated attempt to address biodiversity issues and constraints in Tuvalu in a comprehensive manner.
Tuvalu is among the most vulnerable to climate change impacts. This dataset hosts the national communications to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
State of Environment Report 1993 & State of Environment Report 2022
