Framework for Energy Security and Resilience in the Pacific (FESRIP) 2021–2030. Volume 1, The Framework

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

The context in which PICTs import, produce, use and manage energy in the 2020s and beyond will differ from 2010 when the previous 10 year framework began. The region faces even more serious challenges, including: severe climate change and impacts on energy infrastructure; continued heavy dependence on petroleum fuel during a period of expected of global energy market transformation and potential dislocation; continued uncertainties and negative social and economic impacts due to COVID-19 and potentially, further pandemics, and the extension of affordable clean energy services to communities currently poorly served

High Mercury Accumulation in Deep-Ocean Hadal Sediments

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Sanei, Hamed

Ocean sediments are the largest sink for mercury (Hg) sequestration and hence an important part of the global Hg cycle1. Yet accepted global average Hg flux data for deep-ocean sediments (> 200 m depth) are not based on measurements on sediments but are inferred from sinking particulates2. Mercury fluxes have never been reported from the deepest zone, the hadal (> 6 km depth). Here we report the first measurements of Hg fluxes from two hadal trenches (Atacama and Kermadec) and adjacent abyssal areas (2–6 km). Mercury concentrations of up to 400 ng.

Samoa's Second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) - Submission under the Paris Agreement July 2021

Environmental Governance, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Samoa is an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, that is made up to nine volcanic islands - two pf which are Savai'i and Upolu. Upolu is the most populated where the capital city Apia is located and Savai'i is the largest of the nine. Samoa is extremely vulnerable to climate change due to its geographic location, status as a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) in the Pacific, and the importance of the natural resources to its main economic sectors of fisheries, agriculture and tourism. Samoa is only responsible for an insignificant proportion of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Despite this, Samoa is keen to play its part in global climate change mitigation efforts.

Solomon Islands 2021 - Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)

Environmental Governance, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

In its first NDC, Solomon Islands has committed to reduce emissions by 12% below 2015 level by 2025 and 30% below 2015 level by 2030 compared to a business-as-usual projection (BaU). However with international assistance Solomon Islands can further reduce its emissions by 27% by 2025; and 45% by 2030. This would make the overall reduction by Solomon Islands more than 50% by 2050.

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is currently at La Niña ALERT. Most in-ternational climate models surveyed by the Bureau indicate weak La Niña condi-tions are likely for the coming months. The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is currently weak or indiscernible. Most models indicate the MJO is likely to remain weak over the coming week to fort-night.
