Overall Summary: 
After addressing the national circumstances, it provides for Fiji's INDCs, that are stated to be focussed on the energy sector. Finally, it describes "Key challenges and Proposed Way Forward, Action and Time bound Indicators to achieve Fiji’s Emission Reduction Target", Mitigation and Adaptation.
Efficiency
EE action plans: 
[A]n indicative reduction of 10% CO2 emissions for energy efficiency improvements economy wide will be sought.
EE building standards: 
Short Term (up to 2 years)• Review the National Building Code by end of 2016.---Medium Term (3 to 5 years) • Provide incentives to support compliance with new building standards by 2017.
EE financial incentives: 
Medium Term (3 to 5 years) • Provide incentives to support compliance with new building standards by 2017.
Renewable Energy
RE targets: 
The target is for the renewable energy share in electricity generation to approach 100% by 2030 from around 60% in 2013.---Renewable energy share in electricity to be around 99% by 2030 from the 61% in 2013.
Environment
Energy environmental priorities: 
Fiji will continue to contribute to the implementation of the Post 2015 SAMOA Pathway ( through the implementation of the National Climate change Policy.
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
[A]n indicative reduction of 10% CO2 emissions for energy efficiency improvements economy wide will be sought. These measures will reduce CO2 emissions in the energy sector by around 30% from BAU by 2030.
Carbon markets: 
In order to achieve rapid and cost efficient mitigation, a combination of robust global market based mechanisms and direct aid transfers will be essential. Achieving our conditional goal will require substantial funding including fully functional bilateral, regional and international market mechanisms such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
Green finance:

Achieving our conditional goal will require substantial funding including fully functional bilateral, regional and international market mechanisms such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
Trade
Energy trade priorities: 
A reduction in the cost of imported fuels equivalent to around 200 million litres of diesel and or heavy fuel oil by the year 2030 over BAU imports.
Investment
Energy sector investment priorities: 
Short Term (up to 2 years): Investment into more renewable energy projects which are feasible in Fiji such as solar (stand alone, solar farm, photovoltaic grid connected), biofuel, wind, micro hydro projects and biogas power generation (agricultural wastes).
Governance
Energy management principles: 
Improved energy security and reduction on the dependence on imported fuel as a source of energy for electricity generation.
Technology
Clean energy technology priorities: 
Investment into more renewable energy projects which are feasible in Fiji such as solar (stand alone, solar farm, photovoltaic grid connected), biofuel, wind, micro hydro projects and biogas power generation (agricultural wastes).---Long Term (over 5 years) Continue research and development for energy from possible hydro carbon resources and hydrogen fuel cells.
Clean energy technology deployment: 
Medium Term (3 to 5 years) Promote and improve guidelines and technical standards for renewable energy technologies.
R&D renewable energy: 
Short Term (up to 2 years): Continued research and development in the area of new renewable energy technologies, including further exploration of ocean energy, geothermal energy, wave energy and generation of energy from waste.
