The report was commissioned at the end of May 2008 with delivery of the final product by end June 2008. As such, it has been researched and written over a very compressed timeline. Considerable shortcomings and inconsistencies in data needed to be tackled in this period, and so a rapid desk assessment approach was used with limited opportunity for peer review and feedback.

This process of assessing the individual, systemic and institutional levels to capture the gaps and constraints that exist within the different sectors, organisations and institutions in the country' especially those that have direct influence over the environmental sector in the country' was carried out over the 2005-2008 period. With the assessments as baseline, this Action Plan Document, the 'National Environmental & Capacity Development Action Plan' [NECDAP] of Solomon Islands was drawn up.

Environment The Solomon Islands is part to various treaties and conventions related to environmental protection, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol. A communication to UNFCCC, including greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerability to climate change, is expected to be submitted during 2004.
