This operational plan presents the methodology and logistics for executing eradications of Pacific rats (Rattus exulans), Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) and feral cats (Felis catus) in Tokelau. This document stems directly from a feasibility report completed in January 2024. For details on the site, biodiversity values, the target species etc, please refer to the feasibility report. Planning issues and dependencies that must be resolved in the planning stage of the eradication were identified in the feasibility report. Pre-eradication trials were proposed to resolve questions around tools and techniques; the methodology for these trials is developed in Section 1 below. This should be used as a “living document”, the contents of which will inevitably change as planning for the eradication proceeds and as the results of pre-eradication trials are reported.

This Battler Series publication builds understanding about negative impacts of weeds in Pacific island contexts and supports the prioritisation of established, widespread weeds for management. This guide is based on training conducted by PRISMSS NENS Technical Lead Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research (MWLR), New Zealand. Tiffany Straza prepared the guide text; Lynley Hayes, Chris McGrannachan, and Quentin Paynter provided review. This publication is part of a collection of Battler guides on managing weeds in the Pacific region. For an introduction to biocontrol, read the Battler publication Use natural enemies to manage widespread weeds in the Pacific. For weeds present at low abundance, see Manage low-incidence priority weeds to conserve Pacific biodiversity.

This case study describes tropical cyclone impacts on agricultural production in Vanuatu, using a step by step approach.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established as an operating entity of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2010. As the world’s largest fund dedicated to the fight against climate change, the GCF will to continue to channel significant flows of international climate finance to the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) over the coming decades.

The key purpose of the Marshall Islands’ Country Programme (CP) is to enable the Marshallese climate action aspirations to be realised by identifying short-term and long-term projects, programmes and investment priorities. The CP outlines the Marshall Islands’ national priorities and presents opportunities for the preparation of GCF funding proposals leading to transformational impacts.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established in 2010 and is now the world’s largest fund dedicated to the fight against climate change. Finance from the GCF can be used to support the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) to achieve a paradigm shift to low-carbon pathways and climate-resilient development. The GCF aims to achieve this by investing in transformative projects and programmes on climate adaptation and mitigation that contribute to national climate change policies and priorities. The RMI GCF Handbook has been prepared to provide clear, simplified and practical guidance for stakeholders to understand the GCF’s requirements for accessing resources to develop and implement climate change projects.
