In 2013, the Pacific leaders reaffirmed their commitment to
a sustainable future through the adoption of national renewable energy and
energy efficiency targets as outlined in the Majuro Declaration on Climate
Leadership.
While these commitments are encouraging, for countries to
succeed in achieving them, much rests on collaborative efforts made today.
Achieving renewable energy targets, for instance, requires immense capital and
resources: a challenge to most of the Pacific Islands. Access to
up-to-date, accurate and appropriate data is also of critical importance.
