Abstract
This 2050 Climate Strategy is a nationwide sectoral document aiming at representing a framework for progressing towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The purpose of the Strategy – which is RMI’s long-term low greenhouse gas emission climate-resilient development strategy under the Paris Agreement - is to outline a long-term pathway for RMI to achieve its objectives for net zero emissions and 100% renewable energy, as well as to facilitate adaptation and climate resilience in a way that ensures the future protection and prosperity of the country and its women, men and youth.
To achieve its objectives, RMI's government shall implement, among others, the following (i) submit by 2020 a new Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) - that embodies efforts by the country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change, as for the Paris Agreement - including timing to reduce GHG emissions, development of a National Adaptation Plan, and a gender-responsive and human rights-based approach; (ii) focus on electricity sector to implement GHG reductions; (iii) reduce the waste problem by minimizing organic material in collected waste and consider possibilities to generate energy from waste; (iv) encourage the use of public transport and the increased uptake of electric vehicles; (v) establish a long-term finance strategy to implement this Strategy.
To enable more inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems, the Strategy, with regards to the electricity sector development, focuses on the possibilities given by the renewable energy, such as biomass (coconut oil). 50% of the current coconut oil crop can be used to generate electricity while the remaining 50% would be sold on the open market, either domestically or for export. Furthermore, the document highlights how women, men, and youth should be included and engaged as valuable stakeholders in identifying and addressing the climate change concerns of their communities and to share knowledge for responses to ensure their strengthened resilience.
As for the Governance, the involved institutions will have to intervene for (i) prioritize capacity building in all areas relevant for the implementation; (ii) mainstream gender and human rights, and commission further analysis with a view to putting in place a strategy to improve related data collection, monitoring and evaluation; (iii) review and update, as necessary, this 2050 Strategy as a minimum every five years; and (iv) establish a domestic process to oversee reviews and updates to this 2050 Strategy, as well as to monitor its implementation.
