Republic of Nauru's Framework for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction
Overall Summary: 
The Republic of Nauru Framework for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction (RONAdapt) aims to tackle the country's vulnerabilities and increase its resilience to the impacts of climate change and natural disasters. The Framework will also assist the population of Mauru to address many of the sustainable development challenges they face relating to Nauru's geographical isolation, limited land mass, environmental degradation, lack of financial resources and capacity constraints.                 
Efficiency
EE priorities: 
Strategy: Reduce transport fuel use while ensuring mobility. Activity: Design and introduce incentives to increase the use of bicycles and motorcycles for personal transport, as well as car-pooling and other behavioral changes to encourage energy efficiency. Strategy: Improve local capacity for managing and maintaining a sustainable energy sector. Activity: Facilitate development of appropriate local skill base to meet future demand in the energy sector through various forms of training in energy efficiency and renewable energy. [...]
Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
Strategy: Expand renewable energy capacity. Activity: First tranche of solar energy capacity expansion. Initially to be progressed through: Preparation of a Solar Feasibility Study and technical standards for all phases of solar installations; Identification of potential sites for solar, including survey of roofs of government owned buildings, power poles, parking lots for PV and locating land on Topside for potential large scale solar plants; and Tendering for, and installation of, the first 600 to 1000 kWp of grid-connected solar without storage. --- Strategy: Reduce transport fuel use while ensuring mobility. Activity: Design and introduce incentives to increase the use of bicycles and motorcycles for personal transport, as well as car-pooling and other behavioral changes to encourage energy efficiency. Strategy: Improve local capacity for managing and maintaining a sustainable energy sector. Activity: Facilitate development of appropriate local skill base to meet future demand in the energy sector through various forms of training in energy efficiency and renewable energy. Includes building capacity to install, operate and maintain solar PV systems.
Environment
Energy-water nexus: 
Strategy: Reduce electricity demand for water. Activity: Identify opportunities for electricity savings from water pumping and RO units, and by reducing leakages in the reticulation, delivery and storage systems/tanks.
