Initial Communication under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change RMI 2000
This report on the State of the Climate in South-West Pacific 2020 is the first of its kind for this region and a milestone multi-agency effort to deliver informed climate analysis and climate change trends.
Circular cover letter that was sent out on 1st December 2021
Proposed Project Objective: Enhanced use of data for decision making in the environment sector throughout the Pacific region. Building on the tools and momentum the Inform project established, this scaled up project will expand the user base and fill significant gaps including in situ monitoring, increased partnerships between the environment ministries and other ministries, increase use of spatial tools, and the establishment of standardise environmental standards and key indicators for key resources.
Focusing management efforts on thermal refugia may only be effective in the short-term. Promoting adaptation to higher temperatures and facilitating migration will instead be needed to secure coral reef survival.
This report provides a detailed assessment of the Majuro water sector, and the vulnerability of four critical water infrastructures to projected climate change impacts. This report also provides recommendations for redesigning and retrofitting the existing water infrastructure so as to better prepare for current climate variability and future climate change risks.
Daily temperature (Celsius) and rainfall (mm) for Majuro from 1955-2020.
Daily temperature (Celsius) and rainfall (mm) for Kwajalein from 1946-2020.
The monthly average tide levels (meters) for Kwajalein from 1947-2020. There are 8 tide water mark levels represented: HIGHEST (high tide), MHHW (mean higher high water), MHW (mean high water), MTL (mean tide level), MSL (mean surface level), MLW( mean low water), MLLW (mean lower low water), LOWEST (low tide).
The annual average tide levels (meters) for Kwajalein based on average monthly tide levels from 1947-2020. There are 5 tide water mark levels represented: MHHW (mean higher high water), MLLW (mean lower low water), HIGH (high tide), LOW (low tide), and MTL (mean tide level).

This plan was produced by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands as a supportive document in the mitigation and prevention of risks from disasters that will impact the shores and resources of RMI
Tuna fisheries assessment reports provide current information on the tuna fisheries of the western and
central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) and the fish stocks (mainly tuna) that are impacted by them. The
information provided in this report is summary in nature, but a list of references (mostly accessible via
the internet) is included for those seeking further details. This report is a smart PDF so if you click on a
reference within the document it will take you to the figure/section; to return to the page you were on,
