The importance of coastal and marine environments to every aspect of the lives of Pacific Islanders cannot be overstated. Pacific Island Countries (PICs) maintain resource rights and management responsibilities for over 30million square kilometres of ocean, equivalent to the total land area of Canada, China and the USA. The total population of coastal pacific islanders is only 2.6 million. There are 11 square kilometres of ocean for each Pacific Islander. Jurisdictionally, the ocean is 200 times more significant to the average Pacific Islander than it is to the average global citizen.

Tuvalu Energy Corporation

The Government of Tuvalu and the European Union are working in partnership to improve access to reliable and environmentally sound energy services to three remote outer islands of Tuvalu. This partnership between the Government of Tuvalu and the European Union is also being supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) of New Zealand, the Government of Finland and PIGGAREP the Pacific Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement through Renewable Energy Project. PIGGAREP is funded through the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Samoa, and executed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). In February 2015, PIGGAREP sent a small team to the remote islands of Tuvalu to find out about how access to 24 hour solar power looks set to change peoples lives. This publication, and a companion film, document some of the discussions between the PIGGAREP team and local communities about the many benefits that will come about as a result of powering up remote Tuvalu by solar.

PacWaste (Pacific Hazardous Waste) is a four year (2013-2017), 7.85 million, project funded by the European Union and implemented by Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to improve regional hazardous waste management in 14 Pacific island countries plus Timor Leste, in the priority areas of healthcare waste, asbestos, E-waste and integrated atoll solid waste management. Asbestos-containing wastes and materials are a major issue for many Pacific Island countries with a history of use of asbestos-containing building materials in construction. All forms of asbestos are carcinogenic to humans and inhalation of asbestos fibres that have become airborne can cause serious lung disease or cancer.

PacWaste is working across 14 Pacific island countries and TimorLeste to improve the management of healthcare waste. Healthcare waste is hazardous because it has the potential to be infectious or harmful to humans and the environment. In Tuvalu, PacWaste conducted a healthcare waste management baseline survey in July 2014, through which information was collected on current waste management processes. The audit was conducted at Princess Margaret Hospital on Funafuti.
