  • Kiribati Country Report to the Conference of Parties (COP) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)

    Kiribati Country Report to the Conference of Parties (COP) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)

    REPUBLIC OF KIRIBATI Kiribati Country Report to The Conference of Parties (COP) of The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 2007 Prepared by Environment and Conservation Division Ministry of Environment, Lands and Agricultural Development Foreword By the Minister of Environment, Lands and Agricultural Development It is with considerable pleasure that I forward this document to the Conference of the Parties and the United Nations Development Programme. The document represents an important step in the desire of the Republic of Kiribati to protect the biodiversity and promote the sustainable utilization of the marine and terrestrial resources of Kiribati. I feel this is an appropriate approach to take towards biodiversity conservation in Kiribati. Conservation of biological diversity and the environment has been part of the life of the I-Kiribati ever since the first settlement of the Kiribati atolls. The new international concept of biodiversity conservation has highlighted the increasing degree of human influence on nature. Most of the damage is caused by the increasing demand for consumed goods and energy which is exacerbated by Kiribati’s rapid increase in population. Conservation is for the people and should be implemented by the people. Community consultations and participatory efforts of local communities have provided invaluable contributions to the formulation of this document. The multi-sectoral composition of the members of the Steering Committee and Planning team, and the collaborative efforts between stakeholders, both public and private, indicates a widespread belief of responsibility towards the conservation of biodiversity. The involvement of other Government departments and ministries, together with other environmental programs such as the National Biosafety Framework (NBF), Persistant Organic Pollutants (POPs), International Waters Project Kiribati (IWPK) and National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA) have enriched the scope of the project in all directions.

Volcanic rocks were recoveredin 21 dredge hauls and fossiliferoussedimentary rocks were recoveredin 19 dredge hauls. Volcanic rocks from the Line Islands are alkalic basalts and hawaiites. In addition, a tholeiitic basalt and a phonolite have been recoveredfrom the central part of the Line chain. Microprobe analysesof groundmassaugite in the alkalic basaltsindicate that they contain high TiO2 (1.0-4.0 wt %) and A1203 (3.4-9.1 wt %) and are of alkaline to peralkaline affinities.Major element compositionsof the Line Islandsvolcanic rocks are very comparableto Hawaiian volcanicrocks. Trace elementand rare earth elementanalyses also indicatethat the rocksare typical of oceanicisland alkalic lavas' the Line Islands lavas are very much unlike typical mid-oceanridge or fracturezone basalts.Dating of theserocks by '•øAr-39Ar,K-Ar, and paleontologicalmethods, combined with DeepSea Drilling Projectdata from sites 165, 315, and 316 and previouslydated dredgedrocks, provide ages of volcanic eventsat 20 localities along the chain from 18øN to 9øS,a distanceof almost4000 km. All of thesedates define mid-Cretaceous to late Eoceneedifice or ridge-buildingvolcanic events.

    Mainstreaming Environmental Considerations in Economic and Development Planning Processes in Selected Pacific Developing Member Countries (Financed by TASF)

    May Technical Assistance Consultant’s Report Project Number: 38031 December 2006 Regional: Mainstreaming Environmental Considerations in Economic and Development Planning Processes in Selected Pacific Developing Member Countries (Financed by TASF) Prepared by: John E. Hay and Komeri Onorio For ADB This consultant’s report does not necessarily reflect the views of ADB or the Government concerned, and ADB and the Government cannot be held liable for its contents. ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK TA: 6204-REG Kiribati COUNTRY ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Mainstreaming Environmental Considerations in Economic and Development Planning Processes FINAL REPORT Prepared by: John E. Hay and Komeri Onorio December 2006 i SUMMARY FOR POLICY AND DECISION MAKERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS 1. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) uses the country environmental analysis (CEA) as the tool to assist with early incorporation of environmental considerations into the country strategy and program (CSP) for its developing member countries. The CEA provides the targeted information necessary for informed decision making on environmental constraints, needs, and opportunities, including those that impinge upon poverty partnership agreements, as appropriate. The focus is on adding value to planned and ongoing development initiatives by reducing environmental constraints and exploiting environment-related opportunities. 2. This CEA for Kiribati describes the environmental issues that are most important to Kiribati’s development strategy, as well as ADB’s current and possible roles to help remove the environmental constraints on sustained development and to help take advantage of opportunities offered by the environment and natural resources of Kiribati. The CEA is directed in part at the policy, programme, and sector levels, but the principal focus is on identifying how opportunities and constraints presented by the environment and natural resources of Kiribati can be addressed by way of environmentally sensitive projects in the assistance pipeline.
