This chapter provides a brief description of Tuvalu, its past and present climate as well as projections for the future. The climate observation network and the availability of atmospheric and oceanic data records are outlined. The annual mean climate, seasonal cycles and the influences of large-scale climate features such as the South Pacific Convergence Zone

The train-the-trainers programme on “Good practices in refrigeration” is part of a comprehensive approach to reduce the ODS consumption in the refrigeration servicing sector in the Pacific region. Training programmes in “Good practices in refrigeration” were approved for the eight core countries involved in the “Regional Strategy to Comply with the Montreal Protocol (The RS) in Pacific Island Countries”. The eight countries in the Regional Strategy are the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Palau, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Following the string of high intensity tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin in 2017 and the devastating impacts on small island developing states (SIDS), a number of questions have been raised about linkages between these cyclones and climate change. This briefing provides clarity on scientifically-supported connections between existing tropical cyclones and climate change. The briefing also summarises how climate change may affect tropical cyclones at increased

The global community has had a “blind spot” concerning the extent of the risks posed by human-induced climate change to the well-being, health and physical survival of populations.
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.

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.
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:
