L’Étude d’impact environnemental (ÉIE) est un processus utilisé
pour évaluer et gérer des projets de développement particuliers.
Elle a pour objectif de maximiser les retombées positives et de
minimiser les impacts négatifs pour les communautés locales et
leur environnement. La mobilisation des parties prenantes et les
connaissances locales sont essentielles à la réalisation d’une
bonne ÉIE. Correctement mise en oeuvre, l’ÉIE peut contribuer
à la réalisation des objectifs de croissance verte, de résilience

Conservation can best be achieved when conservation values are part of the mainstream
of society, when they become part of everyones decisions including government, private
enterprise and the community as a whole. This was recognized by the more than 320
participants from Pacific island governments, Pacific and international organizations and
community groups when they met in Rarotonga, Cook Islands in July 2002 for the 7th
Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas

Mangrove ecosystems are under pressure due to anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise. The resilience of mangroves will depend on the rate of accretion of sediments compared to the rate of sea level rise and their capability to colonise higher elevation areas or buffer zones. This will also be affected by the measures to protect the existing mangroves against anthropogenic pressures.

Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) can be defined as the extent to which management is protecting values and achieving goals and objectives. The report also reviews attempts to develop headline indicators that would provide essential PAME information for a site, given the challenge of balancing the number of questions and indicators needed for a full assessment with the limited capacity.

The Pacific Islands Regional Marine Species Programme (2022-2026) is a regional strategy for the cooperative conservation and management of dugongs, marine turtles, whales and dolphins, sharks and rays, and seabirds. The Programme is meant to be a guiding strategy to help Members (and Partners) to identify priorities for action to protect marine species. This webinar was hosted by SPREP’s Threatened and Migratory Species Team about a year after the Programme was launched to assist with socialisation of the Programme and encourage collaboration

The Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change Plus/Phase 2 (PEBACC+) Project seeks to
strengthen the resilience of ecosystems, economies, and communities to the impacts of climate change in Fiji, New Caledonia, Wallis-and-Futuna, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. The factsheet provides an overview of how the project will develop, sustain, and institutionalise ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change in these five countries and territories.
