Solomon Islands 2021: Nationally determined contribution

This revised Nationally Determined Contribution highlights the Solomon Islands' greater ambitions for emissions reduction and adaptation. Mitigation and adaptation are inseparable for a low emitting, highly vulnerable and small island developing country. The Solomon Islands takes adaptation as a matter of survival. Short to medium term adaptation priorities are set out in the country’s National Adaptation Programme of Action and long-term adaptation plans will be captured in its new National Adaptation Plan.

The main achievement on adaptation is that the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology is able to ensure that all projects funded by external sources support the implementation of NAPA, community adaptation programmes and mitigation measures. The report also details actions that have not yet been implemented.
