A direct internet link to access data relating to Tuvalu's forest cover hosts on the Mongabay website.
Mongabay is the world's most popular site for rainforest information and a well-known source of environmental news reporting and analysis.
The energy policy was published in 2009 to set out the planning and management of the energy sector over the next 15 years.
The review offers a brief overview of environmental legislation in force in Tuvalu identified and is current as of January 2018.
This guideline, developed as part of the PACC demonstration project, detail the process undertaken to design and build a community-managed water cistern in Lofeagai community, in the north of Funafuti Atoll
This dataset hosts the national reports by Tuvalu to the Convention on Biological Diversity.
This academic paper investigates the vulnerability of households to climatic disasters in the low-lying atoll nation of Tuvalu. Using the most recent household surveys available, the authors constructed poverty and hardship profiles for households on the different islands of Tuvalu, and combine these with geographic and topographic information to assess the exposure differentials among different groups using spatial econometric models.
The map is a fundamental tool for local resident and island management. It was constructed by latest and high-resolution satellite images and the measured results of field investigation by Foram Sand Project, J-PACE and SOPAC.
Tuvalu's shallow marine environments are dominantly fringing and patch reefs. Five of the islands are true coral atolls, with a continuous eroded reef platform surrounding a central lagoon, three islands are comprised of a single islet made up of sand and coral materials (McLean & Hosking, 1991). This article documents the status of corals reefs of Tuvalu, including threats to coral reef biodiversity.
The Funafuti Conservation Area project has been relatively successful, therefore this report documents the lessons learned as well as providing a useful model for similar marine conservation projects at other sites within the country and around the region.
The Global Nutrition Reports capture the status of nutrition at the country, regional and global level.
This country profile for Tuvalu aggregate the very latest data on child, adolescent and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, as well as intervention coverage, food supply, nutrition spending and demography. Interesting environmental data relating to water and sanitation are also briefly presented.
This report describes the high-resolution bathymetric mapping survey carried out in 2004. The survey achieved good coverage of the seafloor from approximately 10 m depth in the nearshore reef slope area, to an average offshore depth of some 2000 m, at an average slope angle of 2. The objective was to investigate the seabed and provide information about water depths around the islands using a multibeam echosounder (MBES).
