Securing Safe Drinking Water in Nauru

Securing Safe Drinking Water in Nauru is one of nine country-specific videos in the series ‘Climate Change Adaptation - the Pacific Way’, produced by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community through the €11.4 million European Union funded Global Climate Change Alliance: Small Island States (GCCA: PSIS) project.

Nauru needs to secure fresh water. Fresh water is more valuable than oil. Water is gold. Trust me all life needs water.

Honorable Members of Parliament, I stand before you today to talk about the environment of the beautiful island nation of Nauru. As a small country located in the Pacific Ocean, Nauru faces unique challenges when it comes to preserving its natural resources and protecting the environment. Despite its small size, Nauru has a diverse range of flora and fauna. The island is home to many endemic species of plants and animals, which means that they can only be found on Nauru and nowhere else in the world. However, the environment of Nauru has been greatly impacted by human activities, such as mining and deforestation. Mining has been a major part of Nauru's economy since the early 20th century. Phosphate mining, in particular, has been a significant source of income for the country. However, the mining process has resulted in extensive environmental damage. Large areas of the island have been stripped of their vegetation and soil, leaving behind a barren landscape that is prone to erosion and flooding. The mining activities have also resulted in pollution and contamination of the island's soil and water resources. This has had a devastating impact on the health of the local population and has made it difficult to sustain agriculture and other forms of livelihood. Deforestation is another major environmental issue facing Nauru. The island's forests have been cleared for timber and other resources, resulting in the loss of habitat for many native species and the destruction of important ecological functions, such as carbon sequestration and soil conservation. Despite these challenges, Nauru has taken steps to address environmental issues and promote sustainability. The government has implemented policies and programs aimed at preserving the island's natural resources and protecting the environment. The country has established a number of protected areas, such as the Buada Lagoon Conservation Area and the Moqua Well Conservation Area, which are home to many endemic species of plants and animals. Nauru has also adopted sustainable practices, such as using solar energy to power the country's electricity needs and promoting the use of bicycles as an alternative to cars. The government has also worked to educate the public about the importance of environmental protection and has encouraged community involvement in conservation efforts. In conclusion, the environment of Nauru is a crucial issue that requires our attention and action. As leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure that Nauru's natural resources are preserved and protected for future generations. Let us work together to find sustainable solutions and build a more resilient and prosperous future for Nauru and its people. Thank you.

I really love the intro song... can I please know the name of the song...

[@oscarsacasesplanas8941]

Hello, I am interested in knowing the title of the entrance song of the report

Container handling looks so precarious.. Really hairy with unbalanced loads. I don't see how they can afford all they need for sustained existence. Some international help restoring & securing the land would be very timely. It needn't be all one-way. Nauru won't have a problem fertilising reclaimed soil. That seems key to diversifying their economy and improving their quality of life.

Hagan una lagunas artificial de agua lluvia recojan toda la lluvia a través de contaners en cada casa y depositan en la laguna por medio de tratamientos de potabilizacion filtrado y oxigenación. Se debería hacer una buena recolección de aguas residuales y lluvias y hacer una buena planta de tratamientos de aguas residuales

[@adolforodriguez7224]

Porque no hacen una laguna artificial con toda el agua recogida de la lluvia y aguas residuales de la población y reciclar filtrar y usar

i so sad that my country will dissappear

[@denkedeligekanal9059]

are you a nauruan? do you speak nauruan?

[@matlanyon336]

The rise in sea level will prove cataclysmic to Nauru, the Marshall's,Tuvalu and Kiribati.Within 5 decades,we will be no more .Our histories though will be well preserved in textbooks and science journals.

[@explainingthoughts7423]

​@@denkedeligekanal9059 I'm not Nauruan neither do I speak Nauruan, but I'm interested in learning, are you by any chance interested in learning Nauruan as well ?

overexploitation of natural resorces led to this countries downfall.

[@matlanyon336]

Exploitation by the early Europeons, not the Nauruans and Kiribatians!
