This report highlights key actions taken to help Small Island Developing States (SIDS) implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. These actions include promoting a diverse mix of renewable energy sources, extending the energy transition to sectors such as agriculture, health, and water, and fostering bankable projects with increased private sector involvement.
The report also details progress in building institutional capacity, improving energy efficiency and creating stronger links between renewable energy and other key sectors.
It emphasizes the importance of strengthening partnerships, using data to drive decision-making, and achieving socio-economic benefits such as job creation and gender equality. These efforts are essential for ensuring that SIDS’ energy transitions also support sustainable development goals and build climate resilience.
