Nauru

The updated NERM 2018 to 2020 was developed in 2017/18 after a review of the NERM 2014 - 2020, consultations in Nauru on implementation progress to 2017 and is based on the original document. The key changes include renaming the Action Plans, reducing the number of Activities to be implemented, ordering the Activities by Lead Agency and Time Frame, as well as revising wording for some of the Activities and Expected Results.

Executive Summary - This report is part of the Nauru Energy Road Map (NERM) review assignment commissioned by the UNDP. The purpose of this Legislative Gap Analysis report is to:

The RALI Series is a collection of papers developed by the RALI project to share examples of low emission development in practice. The series features case studies, tools, and innovative new approaches in this space, highlighting user benefits and lessons learned.

A household electrical appliances, lights, and end-use survey was undertaken in Nauru in June/July 2015. In total 286 households were surveyed, which constitutes 17% of all households in Nauru.Captured in report are some of the findings as well as a few observations.

The expected outcomes of the household survey are:

This compendium showcases programmes and projects from across the Pacific region that address climate change and disaster risks, through climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk management (DRM) and/or greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

These forty case studies cover different topics across Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) and showcase significant work undertaken by the region to address climate and disaster-related challenges and to build resilience.

This series outlines the status of solid waste management in ADB's Pacific member economies and recommends key points for action to address challenges related to solid waste management.

The Nauru Energy Road Map (NERM) 2014 - 2020 was developed in 2013-14. This report reviews this document and its implementation to 2017 with the aim of facilitating feedback to inform the development of the updated NERM 2018 to 2020.

The study assesses the potential and economic feasibility of LPG, LNG or CNG to meet medium term energy needs in PICTs. It considers the end-use applications of power generation, process heating, maritime transport, land transport, cooking and water heating. The existing fuels considered for substitution include heavy fuel oil (HFO), diesel, gasoline, kerosene and biomass.

International aviation fuel is excluded because gas does not offer a technologically viable alternative to aviation fuel at this stage.

Address from the Team Leader of the European Union Pacific Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project.

Year 2 started on a positive note with the signing of the Finance Agreement between USP and SPC and the full recruitment of all project staff in August, 2015.

In addition, under the Global Project Management component, a total of 6 internships were offered over the course of year 2. The internships comprised 3-month attachments with time shared between USP and SPC.
