Integrated Water Resources Management
(IWRM)
•
•
Pacific Island countries have uniquely
fragile water resources due to their
small size, lack of natural storage,
competing land use and vulnerability to
natural hazards and climate change
impacts. In many Pacific countries, even
small variations in water supply can
have a significant impact on health,
quality of life and economic
development.
IWRM builds the capacity of Pacific
Island countries to manage water
resources. 14 demonstration projects
will be run in 13 Pacific countries to
show the practical benefits of
integrated sustainable water resources
and wastewater management.
Integrated Water Resources Management
(IWRM)
•
Activities:
– Watershed management projects, which will take place in the Federated States of Micronesia,
Palau, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Samoa and Vanuatu
– Wastewater management and sanitation projects, to be run in the Marshall Islands, Nauru and
Tuvalu
– Water resources assessment and protection projects in the Cook Islands, Fiji and Niue
– Water efficiency and safety projects, which will be run in the Solomon Islands and Tonga
•
The projects will be executed regionally by the Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission
(SOPAC), with UNDP and UNEP being the implementing agencies.
Sustainable Economic Development through Renewable Energy Applications
(SEDREA)
•
•
•
•
The Government of Palau aims at reducing fossil fuel consumption in power
generation through promotion of Renewable Energy Technologies that can help to
meet household electricity needs and provide rural energy services in the
country’s outer islands.
One of the key activities of the project is to establish a Renewable Energy Fund
Window (REFW) at the National Development Bank of Palau (NDBP). An
assessment of renewable energy technologies appropriate for REFW finance and
assessment of the market for those technologies in Palau has been carried out.
Currently the design and operating procedures of the Renewable Energy Fund is
underway. Shortly the preparation of a marketing plan and identification of
bankable renewable energy projects for support by the REFW will be undertaken.
The REFW is expected to be officially launched by mid-2010.
By the end of November 2009 a tariff review of the Palau Utility Corporation
(PPUC) was initiated. Among others this tariff review will enable an increased
understanding of pricing issues associated with renewable energy based power
generation to make it competitive with petroleum based generation.
Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC)
•
•
•
•
Nearly US$60 million in resources (of which USD 13m from GEF)
Supporting 13 Pacific islands countries
To build resilience to climate change
Key focus of PACC is on food production/ food security, coastal
management and water resource management
– diversify agricultural practices
– upgrade irrigation systems to handle longer dry periods and stronger
rainfall
– demonstrate improved rainwater harvesting to counter the effects of
increasing salinity in coastal freshwater resources
– increase access to climate risk and early warning information for
vulnerable communities
– Lessons learned are feeding back into national policy processes,
ensure that climate risk considerations are explicitly addressed in
national strategies for agriculture, water, coastal zone management
Some Reflections
