Road designers have always designed resilient infrastructure. However what is now different is that assets must be designed to be resilient to future climate conditions, whereas previously designers would base designs on reliable historic climate data

The Pacific Resilience Partnership was established by Pacific Island Forum Leaders in September 2017 to support the implementation of the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific: An Integrated Approach to Address Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management 2017–2030 (FRDP).

The impact of waste and pollution is taking its toll on the health of communities, degrading natural ecosystems, threatening food security, impeding resilience to climate change, and adversely impacting social and economic development of countries in the region.

This guide introduces environmental indicators and provides an overview of SPREP’S core indicators for Pacific island countries. This document explains the development and use of environmental indicators in Part 1 and provides a summary of each of the 34 ‘core’ indicators in Part 2.
