Nauru

Nauru’s Updated NDC is aligned with national efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and is fully integrated with the National Sustainable Development Strategy. The updated NDC lists qualitative mitigation and adaptation co-benefits around seven sustainable development priorities—productive land, healthy and productive people, water security, food security, energy security, healthy environment, and good governance—in addition to loss and damage. It also includes indicative actions to achieve grid stability, 50% renewable energy capacity, and 30% energy efficiency, which can be achieved with international support. The Government of Nauru sent a request for support letter to the NDC Partnership in December 2020. The Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), through the Pacific Regional NDC Hub responded positively to the request and is now supporting the Government in conducting a feasibility study for a national recycling system.
