Tuvalu is the world’s second lowest-lying country; the highest elevation being less than 5 meters above sea level. Sea level rise due to frequent and intensified storms, king tides and floods is a serious threat to this Small Island Developing State (SIDS) and Least Developed Country (LDC). Similar to its first NDC, this updated NDC focuses only on mitigation. The update includes: (i) reduction of GHG emissions from electricity (power) sector to almost zero emissions by 2030, (ii) 30% increase in energy efficiency in Funafuti Atoll island, (iii) reduction of GHG emissions in the entire energy sector to 60% below 2020 levels by 2030, and (iv) zero carbon development pathway by 2050.
This updated NDC was developed taking into consideration Tuvalu’s National Climate Change Policy 2021-2030 and National Climate Change Policy 2012-2021, the National Strategic Plan (NSAP) 2012-2016, the Recovery and Vulnerability Reduction Plan 2015, the Infrastructure Strategy and Investment Plan (TISIP) 2016-2025, the National Strategy for Sustainable Development 2021-2030, and the Second National Communication.
There is no mention of monitoring and evaluation in this NDC. A NDC Implementation Roadmap has been developed, however, no description of this roadmap is provided in this updated NDC.
Similar to its first NDC, this updated NDC has no gender reference.
