Samoa, a small island nation in the Pacific, maintains relatively good environmental quality with stable air quality and high forest coverage of around 60%, but faces acute climate change threats including accelerated sea level rise averaging 6-8 mm/year and more intense cyclones. With 98% access to safely managed drinking water, water quality is strong, though natural disaster risks from tropical cyclones, tsunamis, and flooding are high and exacerbated by global warming. The country pursues sustainability through 100% renewable energy targets by 2030 and extensive marine protected areas covering 19% of its EEZ.
