Renforcement des Études d'Impact Environnemental: Directives pour les États et Territories insulaires océaniens

Abstract

Since the early 1990s the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) has been promoting the use of environmental planning and assessment processes amongst its member countries and territories. SPREP's approach to environmental planning and assessment has been part of a global programme for improving environmental management and supporting sustainable development. SPREP has been guided by regional and international multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs); the needs of its members; the advice of its collaborators, donors and regional partners; and green economy, climate change adaptation and disaster risk management considerations, with the latter two considerations being amongst the most important sustainable development issues for the Pacific region.
