The State of the Environment in the South Pacific - UNEP Regional Seas Reports and Studies No. 31

The South Pacific Regional Environment Programme has collected enough information through country reports and topic reviews to make a summary overview of the state of the environment in the South Pacific region. It is thus possible to examine the shared heritage of land, sea and living things that is common to all South Pacific peoples, as well as the environmental problems that are becoming widespread in the region. This overview can provide the basis for shared approaches to environmental management and problem-solving.
