Abstract
This Cook Island's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) is a multi-sectoral policy document for the period of 2015-2030. The INDC indicates that the country is on track to meet its 2020 target of 100% electricity sourced from renewable sources, leading to a 38% reduction in emissions from the electricity sector relative to 2006. The INDC presents a conditional target of an additional 43% reduction to be achieved by 2030 through additional grid storage, improved energy efficiency and new technologies, technology transfer, and strengthened capacities for overall sustainability and co-benefits.
The INDC further includes unconditional measures and policies for adaption: 1. Designating EEZ 1.8 million square kilometres as a marine park for building resilience of marine ecosystems 2. Establishing the frameworks and robust systems to support climate change mitigation and adaption measures. In addition, the country also plan to strengthen resilience in the areas of coastal protection, water security, agriculture, forestry, marine conservation, waste, tourism and land management, with international support.
