State of the environment report (SOE) : Samoa 2006

Abstract

How clean are Samoa's natural resources, including its air, rainforests, potable water supplies, coral lagoons and farming lands? How healthy are its people and its ecosystems? And how can we better measure the success of our national environmental and development policies and programmes which are being designed to better protect both the health and the environment of all licing things, especially with people as the central focus? Also how important is climate health to us all in the context of growing climate change impacts on Samoa, and especially with rising global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the highest being recorded in 2006?
