The National Environment Strategy 2017-2022 is a commitment by the Republic of the Marshall Islands to conserve and improve its environment for current and future generations. In the RMI State of Environment Report (SoE) 2016 (SPREP), the Office of Environment Protection and Policy Coordination (OEPPC) worked with other sectors and partners to identify its shortfalls. A strategy to address these shortfalls was developed through the National Environment Management Strategy (NEMS) 2017-2022. The NEMS 2017-2022 promotes sustainable development and integrates environment conservation and the proper governance of development efforts

This CMEP report provides a summary of climate change impacts on coasts and seas in the Pacific island region, and how Pacific islands can respond.

The Cook Islands State of the Environment (SOE) Report provides us with the chart to make informed decisions to accurately report on key environmental issues. Develop and implement policies and programmes to improve environmental conditions in the Cook Islands. Understand financial implications for which Cook Islands Government and other agencies can identify areas that require financial input. Work together to update the SOE every five years
