DEFINITION : % of households connected to central sewerage system

PURPOSE : Tracks progress in managing sewage in a way that minimises the risk of water contamination. Untreated sewage and leaking septic systems are a major source of ground and surface water contamination

DESIRED OUTCOME : Positive trend in % of households connected to central sewerage system

In this report, a set of recommendations is provided for each indicator to support the next best steps for management action that will advance progress towards the target outcome and support Pacific people and biodiversity.

The results of this academic study stated that the sea level rise rate in Tuvalu as at September 2008 was 5.9 mm year−1, based upon the 15½ years of sea level data. This was about four times higher than the global average of 1-2 mm year−1.

Sea level in Tuvalu area had risen approximately 9.14 cm since the inception of the project 15½ years ago. However, it was to be noted that the land is quite stable and the rate of land sinking is -0.06 mM year−1 only.

The Annual Tide Predictions Calendars are a popular product of the Australian-funded Climate and Ocean Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac). The Pacific Community (SPC) has been designing and producing the tide prediction calendars over the past 3 years in partnership with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

The new predictions for Vaitupu were calculated using tide gauge data collected by SPC in 2015 under the European Union-funded Climate and Abstraction Impact Assessment (CAIA) project.

This report presents the results of the first nationally representative empirical study of relationships between household vulnerability, human mobility and climate change in the Pacific. Findings are based upon quantitative and qualitative fieldwork carried out in Tuvalu during the early part of 2015 by researchers from the United Nations University (UNU), the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) and the University of the South Pacific (USP)

This report summarises a review of the degree to which climate change has so far been mainstreamed in national strategic plans, policies and budgets of Tuvalu, and in a sectoral case study - and the extent to which mainstreaming has translated to implementation.

This NEMS 2015-2020 follows a two year consultation process with government, private sector, non-government organisations (NGOs), and Kaupule planners. It was led by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The consultation process proved to be a challenge due to the geographical layout of our islands, broad coverage of the environment sector, and the wide range of stakeholders who were consulted.

This SNC provides an update on the activities undertaken domestically since the Initial National Communication in 1999. It covers the period from 1999 to 2015 and it also provides information on the progress made by Tuvalu in implementing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including the national inventory of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases (GHG) not controlled by the Montreal Protocol.

Tuvalu submitted this initial communication in 1999 to UNFCCC describing the context of the islands for consideration of the impacts of climate change provided by both natural and human system in the country.

This first SOE was prepared as a major component of the NEMs project. It summarises the state of marine resources, cultural and archaeological resources, socio-economic environment, and outline environmental challenges facing Tuvalu at the time.
