Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme

The Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) is an intergovernmental organisation charged with promoting cooperation, supporting protection and improvement of the Pacific islands environment, and ensuring its sustainable development. Established in 1982.[1] Previously "South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP)", the word "South" was dropped in 2004, in recognition of the Members north of the equator. The Acronym SPREP did however not change; its French equivalent name is PROE, Programme régional océanien de l’environnement.
