This publication summarizes the current status of urban sanitation in Papua New Guinea (PNG), highlighting the condition in informal settlements in Port Moresby and peri-urban communities in selected provincial towns. It discusses opportunities to make sanitation more inclusive through the introduction of an operational fecal sludge management (FSM) framework and offers lessons and practical recommendations for PNG government’s action and sector stakeholders’ support.

In 2019, the CTI-CFF technical and governance working groups and cross cutting initiatives implemented most of the activities identified in their approved work plans. Its mission if to preserve and manage the vast marine, coastal and small islands ecosystems and the unique biodiversity of the Coral Triangle region of the Indo Pacific, which provide invaluable livelihood and food security

The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming 1.5ºC–2ºC above preindustrial temperatures. Current international climate responses will not meet these targets. Thus, urgent and widespread action is indispensable. recent Intergovernmental Panelon Climate change reports showed significant difference in degree of impact between 1.5ºC–2ºC of warming. Indeed, the 1.5ºCgoal is the safest for most of Asia and the Pacific. And then the covid19 pandemic entered the equation, shutting down economies and claiming almost 1,163,459 lives by 28 Oct 2020. Its devastating impacts leave the world struggling toe rebuild. After the covid19., the world must choose the path toward a safer, inclusive, dignifies and resilient future.

Forests harbour most of Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity. The conservation of the world’s biodiversity is thus utterly dependent on the way in which we interact with and use the world’s forests. Forests provide habitats for 80 percent of amphibian species, 75 percent of bird species and 68 percent of mammal species. About 60 percent of all vascular plants are found in tropical forests. Mangroves provide breeding grounds and nurseries for numerous species of fish and shellfish and help trap sediments that might otherwise adversely affect seagrass beds and coral reefs, which are habitats for many more marine species.

The data presented in this report speak for themselves: Ambitious climate action will bring significant demand for minerals. Limiting global warming to at or below 1.5°C–2°C, to realize a low-carbon future, requires a large scale transition to clean energy.

This book provides a unique perspective on the multidimensional aspects of the health impacts of climate change and air pollution, which include the science, impacts, solution and advocacy of the solutions. The book is intended to add a new approach to climate change by focusing on its health impacts from a multidisciplinary understanding that can be used for academic, political, faith, community and activism purposes.

Solid waste management is a local issue with global implications. As the world’s population continues to grow, so does the amount of waste being produced. In 2015, the world generated 2 billion metric tons of solid waste. This number is expected to grow to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050. In low-income countries, the amount of waste is expected to increase by more than three times by 2050
