The Pacific Network for Environmental Assessment (PNEA) Portal is an initiative of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to support government officials from Pacific Island countries and territories who work with environmental impact assessment (EIA), strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as well as Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESS). 

The portal complements SPREP’s current capacity building program for EIA and SEA - including the recently launched Regional EIA Guidelines, the Coastal Tourism EIA guidelines, and SEA guidelines.

The environmental needs of small island developing countries were given special attention at the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 as was the need to determine "how the new global framework for sustainable development can be put into action in island countries" (Miles, 1993, p. 34). The environment is a vital resource for all island developing states. Its special

The paramount policy objective of the Niuean Government is to work for the maintenance of a 'living community'. The promotion of economic development in Niue is essential to the maintenance of a living community because it provides a sense of purpose which can no longer be derived from traditional subsistence activities, or even from Public Service employment, unless there is a wider community to serve. This sense of purpose becomes

Until recently, pollution of the environment was considered a
serious problem only in the highly industralised and heavily
populated areas of the world. However, with the steady
increase in population, urban migration and an increase in
industrial development, the need to reduce pollution of the
air, water resources (both fresh and estuarine) and in some
cases of land in developing countries is becoming quite
critical. This, is particularly important in the South Pacific
in view of the geographical isolation and the ecological

The Strategy and Work Programme states that there is little information available on the level of shipping activities operating through, into, and within the region, and on the types of cargoes involved. Accordingly, the document proposes that a study of shipping activities in the region be carried out. Recent information suggests that the study may be funded through SPKEP in the foreseeable future.

The fifteen Cook Islands are distinguished by being vastly separated from
each other and varying greatly in terms of their population numbers and
resource endowments. The necessity therefore arises in this Country Report
to make a distinction, geographically, between environmental concerns on
the larger, more densely and more technologically developed Rarotonga;
the other southern Cook high islands with their mixed volcanic and limestone
soils, balanced populations and reasonably harmonious development? and

This Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for
International Waters of the Pacific Islands Region was
initiated and developed by the thirteen Pacific
island states participating in the work of the Global
Environment Facility (GEF). It represents a
pioneering effort by our group of small island
developing states (SIDS) to integrate our national
and regional sustainable development priorities
with shared global environmental concerns for
protecting International Waters.

Ecotourism demonstrates the potential for direct economic gain inherent in the non-extractive use
of the natural environment based on its aesthetic and educational value. It requires for the natural
environment to be intact and relatively pristine in state. Properly managed, ecotourism and nature
conservation will complement and reinforce each other. But there are challenges in translating the
ideal of ecotourism into an economically and ecologically viable venture for operators and owners
of local sites and resources.
