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 TNBSAP is truly a product of sustainable development planning where stakeholders were fully consulted right from the inception planning process through to the adoption of agreed biodiversity priority issues, constraints and possible solutions. This TNBSAP is therefore fully owned by the people of Tuvalu.
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.
Triggering actions for accelerating MDG progress is the ultimate objective of this report

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.
