The uPOPs Action Plan was developed under the Pacific POPs Release Reduction Project, funded through the
Global Environment Facility –Pacific Alliance for Sustainability (GEF-PAS). It is a review and update the NIP to include the additional POPs.
The preparation of this National Strategic Action Plan for Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (NSAP) was coordinated by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), the Pacific Applied Geoscience and Technology Division (SOPAC) of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through relevant national climate change related projects.

In this study, sea level data from the Australian project was focused on despite the fact that the length of data is not sufficiently long. The AusAID funded South Pacific Sea Level and climate monitoring project was set up in response to concerns raised by Pacific island countries over the potential impacts of an enhanced greenhouse effect on climate and sea levels in the South Pacific for 20 years.
The policy supports Tuvalu’s key planning document, Te Kakeega II (National Strategy for Sustainable development), as well as key regional frameworks such as the Millennium Development Goals, the Pacific Plan, and the Pacific Regional Action Plan on Sustainable Water Management.
The calendar also include a local map, a table of highest and lowest predicted tides of the year, phases of the moon, indicators of highest and lowest tides of the month, and fact sheets about tidal variability and extreme high tides (also known as King Tides in the region), with additional fact-sheets on Traditional Knowledge and Tides and Sea Level for Coastal Development and Sea Navigation.
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.

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:
