Provides principles to support nature conservation in pacific islands
Data collected through Chamber of Commerce surveys in the outer islands
A Pacific information brief from the Pacific Invasives Partnership (a working group of the Roundtable for Nature Conservation in the Pacific Islands)
This report synthesizes the emerging evidence of climate impacts at different temperature thresholds for Pacific islands. All evidence points to vast differences in impacts in a 1.5˚C world, compared to the +3˚C world to which our current policies and climate change pledges are leading us. For Pacific islands and marine and coastal ecosystems in the region, these differences cannot be overstated; even a 0.5˚C difference (between 1.5˚C and 2˚C) may mean that critical tipping points are crossed.
The action plan sets out the policy context and key actions to minimize marine litter across the Pacific islands countries and territories.
This report reviews available information on the adverse effects of 14 alien vertebrates considered to be ‘significant invasive species’ on islands of the South Pacific and Hawaii.
A workshop was jointly convened by the Pacificc Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) and SPREP in March 2012 in Fiji
to provide a vision for more effective and streamlined reporting in the Pacific region.

The Action Plan was endorsed by PAWG members at the Annual Meeting and was presented to the 18th Pacific Islands Round Table (PIRT) Annual Meeting held in July 2015.
