This quarterly newsletter is an initiative to share information on Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), a pragmatic and sustainable option for securing resilience in social and ecological systems impacted by climate change.

The Pacific POPs Release Reduction Project, funded through the Global Environment Facility – Pacific Alliance for Sustainability (GEF-PAS), aims to reduce Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the Pacific region through the improved management of solid and hazardous waste. The project is co-funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD). It is executed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). POPs are toxic chemicals that can travel long distances through air and water, and accumulate in the fatty tissues of humans and other animals. They do not degrade quickly over time, and, as a consequence, potentially expose people to serious health issues including cancer, birth defects and immune system impairments.
