The United Nations Micronesia Nauru National Study 2024/25

This national study for Nauru aims to provide an impartial, collective assessment of the development situation and challenges in Nauru. It is intended to inform the United Nations priorities for supporting the country's sustainable development vision and achievement of the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 

Nauru is the world’s smallest republic, with a population of around 12 000. It faces significant geographic isolation and a heavy reliance on a small number of revenue streams. Key development issues and sustainability constraints include (but are not limited to): declining phosphate mining, the conclusion of hosting Australia's refugee centre, a high dependence on imports, inadequate infrastructure, vulnerability to climate change and health issues arising from non-communicable
diseases (NCDs).
