This first state of the environment report for the Pacific region uses regional environment indicators to assess the status, trends, and data quality and availability for the endorsed Pacific environmental priorities. This report also includes an update of the State of Conservation in Oceania report produced in 2013, which was endorsed and published in 2017.

"In this assessment of the state of the Pacific environment and conservation using endorsed regional indicators, we seek to lay the groundwork for sustained monitoring that supports action and measures Pacific success as well as our shortfalls in achieving environmentally sustainable development".
