The objective of the study is to build institutional capacity and knowledge to enable Tuvalu to better plan and manage the impacts of climate change on migration. Specifically, through developing migration indicators, providing information on labour migration and gathering data on community attitudes to climate change-related migration.
Tuvalu is one of 15 countries participating in PacWaste project, with activities taking place in the project domains of healthcare waste and asbestos.

This review was prepared jointly by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP) and the Environmental Defenders Office Ltd (EDO NSW), updates and builds on the reviews conducted in the early 2000s under the International Waters Project.
This report is an output of the Tuvalu PACC Project. It was written by Louis Bouchet.
This Fifth Tuvalu National Report (5th Report) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) summarizes the nature, cultural importance, conservation status and threats changes to Tuvalu’s Biodiversity and actions taken or that need to be taken to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity since the submission of the fourth national report in 2010.
The development of this NCAP is important in determining the level of ODS consumption in the country. More specifically the NCAP:

The review attempts to identify gaps and then make recommendations for relevant legislation to improve and/or clarify existing ones and improve protection/management of marine turtles.
To help with the identification of legislation gaps, a team at SPREP constructed a matrix of legislation from existing legislation in the region dealing with turtles as well as creating new ones based on available information.
Sea temperatures in many tropical regions have increased by almost 1°C over the past 100 years and are currently increasing at 1 ~ 2°C per century. Satellite and compiled in situ observations of sea surface temperatures have greatly increased the ability to detect anomalous and persistent warm water and are being widely used to predict climate change, coral bleaching and mortality.
During participation in part of the Fairbridge Expedition
to New Guinea, February to May, 1969, I had opportunity to visit 17 islands and cays east of the New Guinea mainland for sufficient time to assemble reasonably complete collections oi their terrestrial reptilian fauna. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of that survey. Fairbridge (1971 ) has previously published a brief report on the expedition and. a more detailed one is in preparation.
