EU - PACTVET Project: Fiji Training Needs Analysis Report

The European Union Pacific Technical and Vocational Education and Training on Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Adaptation (PacTVET) project falls under component three within the broader Adapting to Climate Change and Sustainable Energy (ACSE) programme. The project is being implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) in partnership with the University of the South Pacific (USP) over a period of 53 months and is being funded by the European Union. The importance of setting the training needs/gaps must be upheld since it sets the baseline for the development

Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) - Samoa

Samoa is targeting the energy sector with a focus on the electricity sub-sector. 26% of electricity was generated from renewable energy sources in 2014. Samoa commits to generating 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025. This is conditional on Samoa attaining this target in 2017 and receiving external assistance to maintain the contribution of renewable sources at 100% through to 2025. 

Samoa submitted their Intended nationally determined contributions (INDC) to the UNFCCC Secretariat on the 23rd of November 2015.

Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) - Papua New Guinea (PNG)

The main mitigation contribution for PNG would be in terms of an indicative replacement of fossil fuelled electricity generation with renewable energy sources. PNG will opt for a national target in the electricity sector in terms of becoming carbon free by a 2030 target date. Other mitigation options are energy efficiency, oil & gas sector, transport and forestry/land use.

PNG submitted their Intended nationally determined contributions (INDC) to the UNFCCC Secretariat on the 30th of September 2015.
