Transitioning Small Island Developing States towards Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
GSEII OBJECTIVES
Towards energy independence, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and socio-economic development
• Assist SIDS to develop and implement national Sustainable Energy Plans
• Build local capacity for, and reduce obstacles of, clean energy and energy efficiency projects
• Increase international awareness of SIDS to influence global climate change mitigation
The Global Sustainable Energy Islands Initiative was founded in 2000 to support those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change: Small Island Developing States. The consortium of international NGO’s and multi-lateral institutions now works in 9 islands across the world on diverse projects.
GSEII sees opportunity in these islands threatened by rising sea levels and extreme weather conditions. GSEII’s work to increase renewable energy and energy efficiency facilitates the transition away from fossil fuels and benefits the islands’ economies and the environment. more |
