Enabling activities for the preparation of Nauru's second national communication to the UNFCCC

Abstract

Similar to the remaining Pacific Island Countries (PICs), Nauru is very much aware and concerned about environmental degradation and global warming and their detrimental effects. Nauru is one of the world's smallest independent nations and is located approximately 50km south of the equator at the geographical coordinates 0°31’S and 166°56’E. It is a raised atoll comprising a single island with a maximum elevation of 71m, approximately 6 km long (NE-SW) by 4 km wide (NW-SE).
