Marshall islands reports on the Implementation of the United Nations Convention Combating Desertification (Land degradation) (UNCCD)

Abstract

Under a signed Letter of Agreement between SPREP and Environmental Protection Authority (RMI-EPA), the Government of the Marshall Islands agreed to submit a National Report on implementing the UNCCD to the Secretariat by April 2002. However, it was not until September 20, 2002, that the Chief Secretary nominated RMI- EPA as the official Operation Focal Point. The report gives the overall picture of the activities that the RMI Government had already initiated under the UNCCD and its future activities as well.
