PROJECTS
Pacific Aid Australia supports and promotes projects that underpin the type of development that ensures the livelihood of future generations.
Recyclable Waste Management
Globalisation has resulted in islands importing the majority of their consumer goods that need end use disposal. Islands are small and can't afford to be burying waste in landfill. We help islands with appropriate technology, capacity building and know how to collect, process and export recyclable wastes such as plastic and scrap metal.

Organic Waste
Organic waste is a valuable source of fertilsier for islands that are poor in topsoil. Composting organic waste in the home, and at a commercial and industrial level, can create jobs, enrich soils, save on landfill, and help meet the demands of sustainable agriculture.

Climate Change
Climate Change is without a doubt the single greatest threat facing Pacific Islands today. We are working with Pacific Islanders to help those Islands that can adapt to inevitable climate change issues in planning. We are also lobby on the climate change front to reduce emissions and increase awareness of the plight of Pacific Islands. In addition we promote programs that reduce carbon and methane emissions such as diversion of waste from landfill and energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

Hazardous Waste Management
To manage the challenges facing by growing populations, environmental hazards etc, we support Pacific Islanders with capacity building. This involves training on island, in Australia or between islands. PAA is a member of the UNEPs South South Exchange Mechanism

Zero Waste Agriculture
We believe that zero waste agriculture is an essential tool of ecologically sustainable development. This means that any by product of the value chain in production should be re-used in the production of something else.

Water Sanitation and Supply
Access to fresh clean drinking water is a basic human right. In minimising waste to landfill, islanders can help protect their fresh water lenses. Rising sea levels caused by global warming threatens to salinate fresh water lenses on islands, while other island's water is becoming polluted by waste, or there is a lack of it because of drought.

Capacity Building
To manage the challenges faced by growing populations, environmental hazards and unintended consequences of globalisation, we help Pacific Islanders build capacity. This involves training on island, in Australia, or between Islands. PAA is a member of the United Nations South South Exchange mechanism which promotes the exchange of experience in dealing with Southern development issues.

Culture
Pacific Islanders have a unique culture and way of life that is dependent on small ocean and lagoon locked land masses and centred around the sea.
