With many Pacific economies and societies heavily reliant upon management of their natural resource endowments, attention to environmental concerns is critical to achieving sustainable development in the region. ADB has become an increasingly active partner of the region in fostering improved environmental management capacity and performance at the local, sector, national, and regional levels.

The Pacific Region Environmental Strategy (PRES) is the result of a regional technical assistance covering

1. a review of key environmental issues and main response strategies in the Pacific
2. an assessment of past environment-related assistance provided by ADB and other development partners in the region to draw relevant lessons
3. an identification of priority areas for intervention mapping out future directions for ADB’s environmental assistance to the region

This volume presents a series of case studies, carried out to add important field-level context to the overall PRES analysis and organized under the theme “mainstreaming environment in development planning and management”. The case study volume accompanies and complements the main PRES report, which presents the principal findings and lays out ADB’s new environmental assistance strategy for the Pacific. The PRES analysis and its recommendations are part of a broader strategic planning exercise covering ADB’s overall assistance to the region for the period 2005-2009.
