CHEC Annual Report 2024

The CHEC 2024 Annual Report, published in September 2025, highlights our continued commitment to addressing climate change, with a particular focus on the 32 Small Island States within the Commonwealth. In 2024, CHEC concentrated a significant portion of its project activities in the Pacific region, aligning with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held in Samoa. Within this region, CHEC supported initiatives designed to enhance community resilience to climate-related impacts, promote sustainable resource management, and facilitate collaboration between local organizations and government entities.
Toward the end of 2024, CHEC participated in COP29 in Baku, ensuring that the perspectives and priorities of Commonwealth nations, especially small island states, were prominently represented in international climate negotiations.

2019 was a busy year for CHEC. It was decided that CHEC would produce a journal “Human Ecology 30: Mangroves” in time for the 2020 CHOGM in Kigali, Rwanda, which has now been completed. It will be available for the postponed CHOGM in 2021, if COVID-19 allows.
