dc.description.abstractThis flyer outlines the status of solid waste management in Tuvalu and recommends key points for action to address challenges facing the country related to solid waste management. As a small, low-lying country, consisting of nine atolls, Tuvalu is characterized by extreme environmental fragility. Around 57% of the country’s population of 10,837 resides on the main island of Funafuti, a narrow strip of land with an area of just 2.4 square kilometers. The country’s per capita gross domestic product was estimated at A$3,419 (around $3,074) in 2012.
