Fact Sheet - Pacific tourism depends on healthy marine ecosystems for aesthetic appeal and for the ecosystem services that support human occupation. This fact sheet links it to SDGs and brief background info on how the Pacific island countries face challenges in planning for sustainable development of infrastructure as well as sea and land uses related to tourism
SCP is a key component of climate change mitigation. SCP practices can increase the resilience of environments and
human communities.
SPREP has now partnered with the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) to produce these EIA guidelines for
coastal tourism development, which is defined as any physical tourism development that occurs in the area from the
upland forest out to the reef edge. Based on this definition, entire islands may be in the coastal zone, especially if they
are small low-lying islands and atolls.
Pacific environments require global commitments to sustainable consumption and production because waste and pollution produced elsewhere is transported into and impacts the Pacific region. This factsheet highlights briefly the consumption and production practices that affect Pacific environments and species directly and indirectly
This dataset hosts all MDG reports in the Pacific
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a tool that is used to assess and manage individual development projects, with an aim of maximising positive benefits and minimising negative impacts for local communities and their environment. When used effectively, EIA can help to support the achievement of green growth targets, climate change resilience, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
