Plastics Alternatives and Substitutes 101 - Factsheet

SPREP Publications, Waste Management and Pollution Control

Many INC-2 delegated indicated that the scope of the treaty should include plastics alternative and substitutes. However there are no internationally agreed definitions of plastics alternatives nor plastics substitutes. Sound definitions will support fully informed treaty negotiations.

What Green Climate Fund do we want for the Pacific? Practical Recommendations for Reform and Capacity Support

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Global climate funds have faced much criticism for failing to deliver fast and flexibility enough to match the urgency of the climate crisis, especially for the world's most climate vulnerable countries. In the Pacific region, access to climate finance is a clear priority of leaders and the need for easier access and greater quantities of funds flowing to the region has consistently been raised at both regional and international fora.

Sea Turtle Monitoring Manual: A Guide to Selecting Appropriate Tools for Basic Sea Turtle Research and Monitoring

SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Pilcher, Dr. Nicolas, J.

This manual is not a summary of all that is known about sea turtles. There are already very good books and resources that do that. It is also not exhaustive about research and monitoring. Nor it is the global synthesis of all turtle research options. Advanced research into breathing rates and blood plasma and stable isotopes and hearing and endocrinology are a bit out of our scope. Here, we will deal with the basics that inform conservation and management. And by the basics I mean how many nesting turtles do we have; where are they; what threats do they face; and why this knowledge is useful.
