Climate change, combined with recent geopolitical developments, has sent shockwaves throughout the global economy, magnifying concerns around energy security, food security and weather-related disasters. Small island developing states (SIDS), which are amongst the lowest emitters worldwide, are most at risk from these potential threats. However, they are increasingly employing ambitious plans to deploy renewable energy in order to secure its multiple benefits. This technical paper presents a quantification of SIDS’ renewable energy targets, both in their national energy plans and in their NDCs, comparing commitments made within their national policies and plans with those that extend to the Paris Agreement...
The Government of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas accepts the findings of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and of other expert scientific bodies, that global temperatures are increasing due to the release of so-called “greenhouse gases” (GHGs) into the atmosphere as a result of the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities. Government further accepts the scientific predictions that this trend of global warming is likely to continue for several decades, even if the causative activities were to cease immediately.

This report presents the proposed Draft for the Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) for Antigua & Barbuda (A&B). The SEAP delineates achievable target quotas for the NEP’s five goals (energy cost reduction, diversification of energy sources, electricity reliability improvement, environmental protection and stimulate new economic opportunities) as well as four strategies (general cross-cutting strategy, energy conservation and energy efficiency, renewable energy development and education and awareness) for achieving these goals. For each of the four strategies outlined, goals and objectives, specific actions to be implemented, responsible agency per each action, appropriate indicators to measure its outputs, level of priority (short,...
