Ocean Connecting the Dots Plastic Pollution and the Planetary Emergency

Waste Management and Pollution Control

Available Online

The toxic pollution resulting form rampant overproduction of virgin plastics and their lifestyles is irreversible, directly undermines our health, drive biodiversity loss, exacerbates climate change and risks generating large-scale harmful environmental changes. With emissions into the ocean alone to triple by 2040 in line with production, it threatens human civilisation and the planet's basic ability to maintain a habitable environment.

Ornithological Society of Polynesia

The 'Ōmāma'o or Tahiti Monarch is one of the most threatened birds of the planet. At the start of the conservation program, in 1998, only 12 adults were known in the entire world. Present only in Tahiti, this bird has to face ten invasive species, all ranked among the 100 most invasive species on the planet, which includes Black rat, Indian Myna, Red-Vented Bulbul, etc. Later, the Little Fire Ant (LFA) was found on a surface of 70 ha near the entrance of the Tahiti Monarch habitat, located in three valleys (Hopa, Maruapo and Papehue).

The global increase in biological invasions is placing growing pressure on the management of ecological and economic systems. However, the effectiveness of current management expenditure is difficult to assess due to a lack of standardised measurement across spatial, taxonomic and temporal scales. Furthermore, there is no quantification of the spending difference between pre-invasion (e.g. prevention) and post-invasion (e.g. control) stages, although preventative measures are considered to be the most cost-effective. Here, we use a comprehensive database of invasive alien species economic costs (InvaCost) to synthesise and model the global management costs of biological invasions, in order to provide a better understanding of the stage at which these expenditures occur.

SPREP Publications, Waste Management and Pollution Control

Available Online

The impact of waste and pollution is taking its toll on the health communities, degrading natural ecosystems, threatening food security, impending resilience to climate change, and adversely impacting social and economic development of countries in the region. The PacWastePlus programme will generate improved economic, social, health and environmental benefits by enhancing existing activities and building capacity and sustainability into waste management practices for all participating countries. The overall objective of PacWastePlus is to 'generate improved economic, social, health and environmental benefits arising form stronger regional economic integration and the sustainable management of natural resources and the environment.
