Island nation already experiencing the effects of climate change, such as warmer water, sea level rise and coastal erosion
None mentioned
No one implementation mechanism is mentioned. The Solomon Island’s implementation of mitigation and adaptation targets is said to be dependent on financial resources, capacity building support, and control of the transition of COVID-19. Policies that are mentioned that would aid to the NDC’s implementation include the country’s National Development Strategy, the National Forestry Policy of 2020, the Renewable Energy Policy Framework, among others. Moreover, a National Adaptation Plan is to be developed.
Gender is briefly mentioned when discussing mitigation and adaptation. Under mitigation, the National Climate Change Policy 2012-2017, which outlines policy directives and strategies, mentions that the government shall “integrate gender analysis and gender considerations in planning ad implementation of mitigation actions.” Likewise, when discussing financing needs for adaptation, the government is to “undertake gender analysis and integrate gender considerations as part of vulnerability and disaster risk assessments as well as adaptation actions. Inclusive participation of women and youth should be actively encouraged at all levels in order to build the capacity of vulnerable groups.”
