Factsheet on the Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change project

This review of environmental law is part of the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) National Environmental Management Strategy (NEMS) project to strengthen environmental management capabilities in Pacific developing countries. The NEMS project currently encompasses seven Pacific countries, including Kiribati. One component of the NEMS regional programme is to provide an inventory and an assessment of environmental laws and provisions which exist within a country's legal system to enable governments to assess the adequacy of "environmental" legislation and to set the pace for appropriate reforms. This review follows a similar format to those undertaken in other Pacific countries under both the NEMS project and the SPREP Regional Environment Technical Assistance (RETA) Programme.
