Nauru's Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP)

Description:
Nauru’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan is an integral component of its National Environment and Development Management Strategies—its response to its own, Nauru Vision for the Future and to the world wide call from the Earth Summit of 1992 for nations to re-examine their developments and make changes that are necessary to turn the tide of environmental degradation and ensure sustainability in human development. The Strategy outlines the state of Nauru’s biological resources and actions to control their degradation and achieve sustainable development. It is Nauru’s foremost expression of commitment to the Convention on Biological Diversity which it ratified in 1992. This NBSAP was formulated through a multi-sectoral consultative process involving representatives of various in-country governmental and non-governmental organisations as well as national and international experts. In particular, advisory services were given by representatives of Environmental Consultants Kiribati, the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme and United Nations Development Programme (Suva Office). From the collection of a broad range of information and views, the stakeholders have extended the exercise to the allocation of responsibilities and assignments to groups of organisations. These groups, which form the stakeholders’ consultation group, have achieved the compilation of currently available base line information that has provided a comprehensive background to the Strategy. Funding for the work has been generously provided by the United Nations Development Programme as the Implementing Agency for the Global Environmental Facility – Enabling Activities. Leading this important project is the Division of Environment and Conservation of the Ministry of Commerce, Industries and Environment with the continuous and strong support of the NBSAP Steering Committee and the National Environmental Coordinating Committee.
