Les pays et territoires insulaires du Pacifique offrent des écosystèmes riches mais menacés par la croissance démographique et l’urbanisation, ainsi que par l’évolution des modes de consommation menant à une production accrue de déchets.

Les pays et territoires insulaires du Pacifique offrent de riches écosystèmes menacés par la croissance démographique et urbaine, ainsi que par l’évolution des modes de consommation, qui entraînent une augmentation de la production de déchets.

Pacific island countries and territories offer rich ecosystems threatened by population and urbanisation growth and changing consumption patterns, leading to increased waste generation. Healthy Pacific ecosystems are essential for economic development of communities in the Pacific island countries and territories however due to their economic and ecological features, these Pacific islands face their own challenges.

The purpose of the SWAP2 Project is to help achieve the strategic goals of the Pacific Regional Waste and Pollution Management Strategy (Cleaner Pacific Strategy) by improving waste infrastructure, building capacity, and fostering regional collaboration of several Pacific Island Countries and French Territories.

In this video, we take you through the impactful beach cleanup and waste audit activities happening in Vanuatu as part of the SWAP (Sustainable Waste Actions in the Pacific) project. This collaborative effort, funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and led by the Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation (DEPC), Vanuatu, brings together local communities, local authorities, schools, and youth to tackle marine litter and its harmful effects on our environment.

The Circular Approach to Waste Management is a sustainable model of production and consumption that emphasises sharing, learning, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible.
