Fiji Low Emission Development Strategy 2018-2050

Organisation: 
Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI)
Country: 
Fiji
Fiji is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its position as a Small Developing State (SIDS), which leaves the country exposed to sea-level rise, cyclones of increasing intensity, and flooding, among other potential consequences. It is therefore imperative to take ambitious and rapid action to address climate change through GHG emission reductions. The Fiji Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS) 2018-2050 is a living document compiled in 201 to define pathways to achieve low emission development in Fiji until 2050.

Whole-System Zero-Emissions Demonstration: China’s Vision on Future Green Urbanization

This report introduces a new concept — Whole-System Zero-Emissions Demonstration (WS-ZED). The WS-ZED concept goes one step further than net-zero carbon and proposes a broader concept to reveal the added value of synergy among net-zero carbon, net-zero waste, and net-zero pollution. This new concept aims to resolve these growth challenges by adopting a holistic approach to put in place urban management policies to combat both climate change and environmental degradation.

Is the COVID-19 crisis spurring a transition to net-zero emissions in the oil and gas sector?

By Andrew Prag and Guy Halpern, OECD Environment Directorate Almost all economic sectors have suffered due to the evolving COVID-19 crisis. For the oil and gas industry, already battered on one side by low prices due to an oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia, and on the other by the push to decarbonise the global economy, the crisis hit at an especially challenging time.

Zero Poverty, Zero Emissions: Eradicating extreme poverty in the climate crisis

Overseas Development Institute (ODI)

The eradication of extreme poverty is the minimum ethical floor of the global development agenda. With projections suggesting eradication is possible by 2030, the goal of ‘zero extreme poverty by 2030’ is a compelling objective.

Going beyond investments in single-point solutions

Kirsten Dunlop

We are working to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon economy by using systems innovation to effect change in whole places and value chains.

Climate change is not a distant possibility. The capacity of the Earth’s system to absorb greenhouse gas emissions is already exhausted.
