Proposed Project Objective: Enhanced use of data for decision making in the environment sector throughout the Pacific region. Building on the tools and momentum the Inform project established, this scaled up project will expand the user base and fill significant gaps including in situ monitoring, increased partnerships between the environment ministries and other ministries, increase use of spatial tools, and the establishment of standardise environmental standards and key indicators for key resources.

This publication ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment – Guidelines for Pacific Island Countries and
Territories’ has been prepared to provide guidance on the application of SEA as a tool to support
environmental planning, policy and informed decision making. It provides background on the use and
benefits of SEA as well as providing tips and guiding steps on the process, including case studies, toolkits
and checklists for conducting an SEA in the Appendices.

This dataset has all icons for Multilateral Environment Agreements such as SDGs and Aichi

This guide introduces environmental indicators and provides an overview of SPREP’S core indicators for Pacific island countries. In 2012, the SPREP members approved the development of a set of standardised indicators for use by member countries at the SPREP meeting. Through the Inform project, SPREP programmes then developed a set of 34 indicators that was endorsed by members at the 2018 SPREP meeting. This document explains the development and use of environmental indicators in Part 1 and provides a summary of each of the 34 ‘core’ indicators in Part 2.

Inform Plus proposed 5 pillars

• Component 1: Environmental Governance
• Component 2: Monitoring and field data collection for environmental standards and standardised environmental indicators
• Component 3: Data management utilising the Pacific Island Network Portal (PEP). Production of information products for decision makers based on existing data sets.
• Component 4: Enhance and expand GIS use for data collection, analysis and presentation to inform decision makers

In the 30th SPREP meeting held in September this year, the meeting supported the scaling up of environment data management in the Pacific and directed the Secretariat to initiate a process for developing a full-sized project proposal to support the scaling up environmental data management work in the region.

Later in October,  the Inform Project participating countries collectively agree on the need to scale up and extend the Inform Project services beyond 2022.

In this Fourth SOE Report, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment adopted the DriversPressures-State-Indicator-Response (DPSIR) Framework to assess the four main Thematic Areas namely the Natural Environment, Built Environment, Atmosphere & Climate Change and Environment Governance. Each theme comprises of several indicators that are assessed accordingly based on the tool used.

This flyer outlines the status of solid waste management in Samoa and recommends key points for action to address challenges facing the country related to solid waste management.

Land degradation as it affects Samoa became an issue that had most recently surfaced as a consequence of land
cover change resulting to the loss of soil productivity and vegetative cover induced mainly by unsustainable practices and the inappropriate uses of land resources. This report is a thematic assessment that was conducted in 2006 to address the issue and for the UNCCD.

This dataset hosts all published national reports submitted by Samoa to the UNCCD

Since the adoption of Agenda 21 following the United Nations Conference on Environment and development in 1992, this report constitutes the first opportunity for Samoa to assess its situation with regard to sustainable development in the past decade
