Fiji Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) 2018-2050
Overall Summary: 
The Fiji Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) 2018-2050 aims to define pathways to achieve low emission development in Fiji until 2050. As the central goal of this LEDS, Fiji aims to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050 across all sectors of its economy through pathways defined in this LEDS.
Efficiency
EE lighting and mechanical system standards: 
Tourism and Commerce: • Support for low carbon Tourism. There will be capacity building initiatives for micro, small, and medium scale tourism businesses for implementing the LEDS through beach and reef protection, renewable energy, improved waste and water management, and energy efficiency.
EE public awareness/promotional programmes: 
Electricity Generation: • Energy Efficiency Public Awareness. A nationwide public awareness programme will be developed to increase awareness about the existence and the benefits of energy efficient building design, appliances, and savings. • Energy Efficiency Training. Training will be provided to key stakeholders (i.e., institutions in charge of boarder control of appliances FRCS, dealers of appliances, staff of coordinating entities, architects, builders, and building inspectors) for implementation of energy efficient appliance standards and minimum energy performance standards for buildings. [...]
Renewable Energy
RE public awareness/promotional programmes: 
Electricity Generation: [...] • O&M of Renewable Energy Systems. Skilled and highly-skilled domestic labour will be further developed and sustained to operate and maintain various renewable energy power plants in Fiji (e.g., biomass, solar PV, wind, geothermal, biogas, and energy storage).
Technology
Clean energy technology priorities: 
Energy: • Technical Skills. To meet the human resource needs of the future electricity sector, the government will support education for civil, electrical, mechanical, and hydrological engineers and other required skill needs of the sector, including for renewable energy technologies introduced or scaled-up under the LEDS, and for energy efficiency improvements in the building sector and industry.
