Supported by IRENA through the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative, Papua New Guinea’s National Energy Authority is convening an in-person workshop to present a draft Energy Transition Assessment, refine priority actions, and build stakeholder consensus to drive a resilient, inclusive renewable-energy transition.
The SEforALL Global Forum will focus on the imperative for just and equitable energy transitions that deliver ambitious climate progress while forging development opportunities for climate-vulnerable countries, particularly Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
The National Energy Authority and the International Energy Renewable Energy Agency through the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative will host the National Expert Workshop to discuss the issues constraining the energy transition efforts with renewable energy deployment and identify opportunities to address these issues and put forward action plans for implementation and addressing cross cutting issues such as capacity and investment.
The event sought to identify innovative financing mechanisms, facilitate technology transfer, and outline capacity-building initiatives crucial for SIDS to achieve their renewable energy commitments.
The webinar featured presentations of key findings from each report, as well as insight from multi-actors experts on the progress, challenges, mechanisms, and potential benefits of the above two SIDS energy transition contexts accelerating renewable energy scale up.
The virtual forum shone a light on climate actions in small islands, showcasing various tailored solutions and technology options to address the distinctive challenges and opportunities of SIDS.
The AIS Regional Consultative Workshop aimed to present draft progress indicators and impact measures developed by IRENA.
The workshop aimed to achieve consensus on the importance of participating in and reporting on the progress of SIDS LHI implementation.
The Solomon Islands Renewable Readiness Assessment (RRA) report launch event was held from 6th to 8th February 2024 in Honiara, Solomon Islands.
The workshop contributed in enhancing the capacities of local stakeholders in SIDS in structuring renewable energy project financing deals, and eventually increase the number of projects that are financed in SIDS.
The high-level event focused on the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) just energy transition.
The session covered presentations on methodology for developing the IRENA’s SolarCity simulator with a demonstration.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), with support from UNDP organised a validation workshop to present findings from the country assessment.
The primary objective of the inaugural regional consultation workshop in the Pacific region was to introduce and solicit feedback on the draft progress indicators and impact measures developed for the implementation of the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative (LHI).
The event aims to showcase SIDS’ NDC implementation achievements, identify and prioritize energy transition actions and gaps across mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, and contribute to preparations for COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates 2023.
