Overview

*Excerpt from 'Federated States of Micronesia Strategic Development Plan 2004-2023'

 

The FSM's environment has been steadily degraded as a result of:

• population growth and migration;

• over-harvest of fish and wildlife resources brought on by increasing economic expectations amongst the island populace;

• human activities such as land clearing, logging, dredging, mining, agriculture, uncontrolled disposal of wastes, burning, reclamation, and coastal/near-shore degradation;

• natural hazards such as those associated with extreme weather events, climate change, high tides and sea-level rise; and,

• competition with or predation by introduced alien species.

This degradation has had serious impacts on both the natural environment as well as health and economic prosperity of the FSM's inhabitants and the nation as a whole.

These threats are further magnified in the FSM due to the following factors:

• inadequate technical capacity of National, State and local governments, NGOs, and communities;

• inadequate financial resources, both from internal and external sources, dedicated to the sector;

• inadequate monitoring programs and other feedback to decision-makers; and,

• outdated National, State, and local laws and policies and insufficient enforcement.

Current indicators suggest that the current government environmental agencies, partnerships, and policies are failing to adequately address these environmental challenges. It is anticipated that focusing on the nine strategic areas will bring about change in the sector as measured by the identified outcomes and output measures.

The nine strategic goals that have been identified to improve the environment of FSM are:

• mainstream environmental considerations, including climate change, in national policy and planning as well as in all economic development activities;

• improve and enhance the human environment (improve waste management and pollution control);

• reduce energy use and convert to renewable energy sources/minimize emission of greenhouse gases;

• make FSM's genetic resources accessible for utilization and ensure benefits derived are equitably shared amongst stakeholders;

• manage and protect natural resources/protect, conserve, and sustainably manage a full [functional] representation of the FSM's marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems;

• improve environmental awareness and education and increase involvement of citizenry of the FSM in conserving their country's natural resources;

• establish effective biosecurity (border control, quarantine and eradication) programs to effectively protect the FSM's biodiversity from impacts of alien invasive species;

• create sustainable financing mechanisms for environmental and sustainable resource initiatives; and,

• enhance and employ in-country technical capacity to support environmental programs.

United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED: Brazil, 1992)

The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED, 1992) and the Rio Declaration highlighted the need for sustainable development-socially responsible economic development that protects the resource base and the environment for the benefit of future generations. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which was one of the outcome instruments of the UNCED process, also highlights the need for conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources.

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification is an agreement to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought through national action programs that incorporate long-term strategies supported by international cooperation and partnership arrangements.

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

(i) National Communications and In-depth Reviews
Federated States of Micronesia (1997; 199kb)

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC,1992) is concerned with global warming and the consequent rise in sea levels that may result in the flooding of coastal areas, and submerging islands, which could adversely affect coastal communities. The treaty aims at reducing emissions of greenhouse gas in order to combat global warming. Although the treaty as originally framed set no mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions for individual nations and contained no enforcement provisions; it did include provisions for updates (called "protocols") that would set mandatory emission limits. The principal update is the Kyoto Protocol.

see also: Synthesis Report for Asia and the Pacific (2001; 1.22mb)

The WSSD Plan of Implementation calls for the management of the natural resources base in a sustainable and integrated manner. In this regard, to reverse the current trend in natural resource degradation as soon as possible, it is necessary to implement strategies which should include targets adopted at the national and, where appropriate, regional levels to protect ecosystems and to achieve integrated management of land, water and living resources, while strengthening regional, national and local capacities. The Johannesburg Declaration and the Plan of Implementation arising from the World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD, 2002) reconfirmed the commitment of States to advance and strengthen the interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars of sustainable development-economic development, social development and environmental protection-at the local, national, regional and global levels.

"The Conservation Society of Pohnpei was founded in 1999 by a group of local individuals concerned with the need to preserve Pohnpei’s natural heritage while encouraging sustainable development. Over the past eight years we have grown to become one of the region’s premier conservation groups, leading the way in Pohnpei’s environmental movement through our myriad of partnership work with local communities, government agencies and organizations. We strive to mobilize community participation in resource management, promote conservation policies and laws, and develop successful alternatives to resource exploitation."Website iIncludes information about projects plus access to marine and terrestrial factsheets and results from Rapid Ecological Surveys.
