This profile examines how climate change has been mainstreamed in national and sector policies, plans and strategies in Niue. It explores the extent to which climate change objectives have been achieved, linkages between policies and climate change financing, and the extent to which policies are supported by institutional arrangements and financial and budget processes. It is based on publicly available reports and information that was availed by both regional and country representatives.

The 6th National Report was completed with guidance and leadership of the Department of Environment (DoE)

Each of the contributions to the Special Issue sheds light on a different aspect of the UNFCCC, international human rights law and/or the inter-relationship between these frameworks.

This report incorporates material from different disciplines and covers a diversity of approaches to data collection and project reporting drawn from the literature. Whilst the compendium of projects and case studies does not claim to provide an exhaustive list of ongoing activities related to climate change and Indigenous Peoples, it does contain a representative and illustrative survey of current effects and adaptive responses.

The article draws on semi-structured interviews and an analysis of social media sites to examine the use of social media in Pacific climate change campaigns.

These guidelines detail the process, timeline, and steps taken to complete a State of Environment Report.

This policy applies to SPREP’s own data as well as data held by SPREP on behalf of government agencies and partners within the Pacific.
The purpose of this policy is to:
• encourage the free exchange of data with other government agencies and partners within the Pacific and with the public in the Pacific and beyond
• promote the benefits of data sharing, and its links to good governance, accountability, public participation and the rule of law

The assessment is based on long-term observation series of the large scale features that influence the climate and weather of Pacific CMSs.

The Pacific region is already having to address loss and damage, where climate change impacts exceed the limits of adaptation. In a 1.5˚C scenario these losses will be greater than today, however with planning and investment it will be possible for many Pacific island societies to adapt to the impacts of climate change in order to minimize these losses and to develop more resilient societies.
