Emission estimation methodologies 

The methodology used is derived from that applied at the national level by CITEPA as part of the work of SNIEPA and in particular the national inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions carried out under the UNFCCC. 

The GWP used are those of 1995 according to the decisions taken to date by the Conference of the Parties (inventory 

GHG CN for 2008). 

The update of the inventory will take into account, in particular, the new methodologies defined in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines

Planning process 

The actions dedicated to the fight against climate change were initiated in 2009, by carrying out an inventory of the challenges posed by climate change which made it possible to report on the need to conduct an adaptation and mitigation policy.  

In 2012, French Polynesia launched the development of its Strategic Climate Plan (PCS). The aim was to create a sustainable development plan taking into account the challenges of climate change as well as two specific objectives: the mitigation of the immediate impacts of climate change and the adaptation of the territory to their constraints. This initial work made it possible to establish a diagnosis of the territory's climatic vulnerabilities as well as the level of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. They resulted in the proposal of 138 guidelines. 

In this continuity, the Assembly of French Polynesia adopted a text of law of the country n ° 2012-26LP / APF of December 6, 2012 relating to the guiding principles of the energy policy of French Polynesia, promulgated as law of the country n ° 2013-27 of December 23, 2013. This text sets a minimum target of 50% of electricity production from the exploitation of renewable energies by 2020 throughout French Polynesia. 

In September 2015, the government defined a Climate Energy Plan (ECP) pursuing two complementary objectives (mitigation and adaptation to climate change) and based on 7 axes. 

intervention and 15 operational orientations. Thus, the federation of the various actors of French Polynesia has allowed, through the establishment of the PCE, a coherence of public actions in the different fields of intervention such as research, the environment, social, culture, economy, transport, education, construction and development.  In addition, in November 2015, the government launched an Energy Transition Plan (ETP) 2015-2030 which confirms the objective of 50% renewable energy for electricity production in 2020 and raises it to 75% in 2030. 

The targeted energy transition will take the form of a shift from a centralised model of fossil fuels to an interconnected model of small units based on renewable energies. 

Fair and ambitious contribution 

The target represents a major challenge for French Polynesia, a developing island community particularly vulnerable to climate change, consisting of 118 islands scattered over an ocean area of 5 million km². 

The 15% reduction target is fair and ambitious in view of the geomorphological (fragmentation and dispersion of land, including 2/3 of atolls), economic (dependence of the main economic sectors on petroleum products: tourism, transport, fisheries) and social (unemployment and great inequalities in a changing society) fragilities of French Polynesia. This objective is in line with the latest recommendations of the IPCC. 

Moreover, it should be taken into account that major ocean countries consider the protection of the oceans (which produce half of the oxygen and are recognized as carbon sinks absorbing a quarter of the world'sCO2emissions) as a major contribution to the effort undertaken by the international community to mitigate the effects of climate change. As such, French Polynesia intends to ensure the integrity of its ocean space by classifying its entire EEZ of 5 million km² as a Managed Marine Area with the aim of strengthening and optimizing existing management measures, particularly in terms of sustainable fishing, the preservation of emblematic marine species and the protection of marine ecosystems.

French Polynesia's contribution is all the more meritorious as it is voluntary (as an overseas collectivity under Article 74 of the Constitution, it is not covered by France's commitments through the European Union) and is not currently accompanied by any additional national, European or international funding.

Planning process 

By deliberation(s) of the Territorial Council before 2020 

Fair and ambitious contribution 

Reduction of emissions in absolute terms for a territory in strong economic and demographic growth and with significant geographical constraints that limit renewable solutions (scarce land, rugged terrain, absence of water, no geothermal energy).  

In addition, the tourist activity requires to take even more into consideration than elsewhere the landscape and aesthetic aspect of the solutions (wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, solar water heaters). 

At the same time, very dynamic economic activity and population growth are leading to a much greater trend increase in energy needs than in territories in decline or economic/demographic stagnation. 

Thus, electricity production, which currently represents 75% of the island's territorial greenhouse gas emissions, is expected to increase sharply according to EDF-SEI forecasts. The challenge will therefore be to produce more while emitting fewer greenhouse gases. 

Under these conditions, the commitment to reduce in absolute terms is a strong commitment that implies a reversal of the trend in greenhouse gas emissions.

Sectors / Sources 

All sectors except "Agriculture, forestry and other land uses". 

The main emission sectors of Saint-Barthélemy are electricity production, road transport, waste-to-energy and building air conditioning. 

The constraints of the island (rare land, rugged terrain, lack of water, no geothermal energy) limit the possibilities of development of renewable energies. In addition, the tourist activity requires to take even more into consideration than elsewhere the landscape and aesthetic aspect of the solutions (wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, solar water heaters). 

The main levers will be: 

-the replacement of the current engines of the power plant by more efficient and less polluting engines;  

-the development of electric mobility; 

-energy savings by better insulation of 

more efficient buildings and equipment; 

-the development of photovoltaic solutions. 

The renewal of the engines of the power plant has been initiated and must continue by 2025. In terms of electric mobility, local regulations have exempted these vehicles from any tax for a year now. 

Further actions will be defined and implemented by 2020.

nationally determined goal 

Part 

France - Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon

Type of contribution 

The actors of the archipelago, which are also directly exposed to the effects of climate change, are fully concerned and invested in the fight against climate change. 

The State, which is responsible for the environment, and the territorial council have conducted a twofold reflection on the matter. 

On the one hand, as part of the elaboration of the 2010-2030 strategic development plan, the Territorial Collectivity and the State have committed themselves with the partners in the elaboration of a multiannual energy programming.  

On the other hand, the question of energy choices is also fully integrated into the reflection of the territorial plan of development and urbanism, whose competence lies with the Collectivity. 

Therefore, and in view of the local context, the State, the Territorial Council and the municipalities that will be fully involved in the reflection, will jointly propose by April 30, 2017, a commitment from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon for a quantified objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 

The time for reflection and programming is not, however, an obstacle to the launch of major operations on the scale of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, contributing to this future objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The best illustration of this is the launch of the construction site for the installation of the Saint-Pierre heating network, an operation to improve the energy efficiency of the territory which should, on its own, allow a reduction in total emissions estimated at 5%.  

Nationally Determined Contribution 

Part 

France - Wallis-and-Futuna

Type of contribution 

Ordinance No. 2016-572 of 12 May 2016 extending and adapting to the Wallis and Futuna Islands various provisions of the Energy Code sets the objectives, outlines the framework and puts in place the necessary tools for the construction of a new energy model that is more diversified, more balanced, more secure and more participatory and aims to engage the territory in the path of green growth that creates wealth,  sustainable jobs and progress. The challenge for the territory will be to control its demand for electricity, while developing renewable energies. 

In this context, the Multiannual Energy Programming (EPP), a founding element of the energy transition, will constitute a unique document in terms of energy strategy for Wallis and Futuna, specifying its energy policy objectives, identifying the challenges and risks in this area, and guiding the work of public actors. It will cover 2 periods, from 2016 to 2018 and from 2019 to 2023. 

The development of the PPE, mainly aims in the first period the electricity component with in particular the commitment of the territory on the development of renewable energies to reach a target of 50% in 2030 and energy autonomy in 2050. The theme of mobility will be addressed in the second period. 

By 2023, the development of renewable energies will consist of:   

-       For Wallis, at 500 kW exploiting biomass, 100 kW of biogas (recovery of green waste, slurry and septic tank emptying, 3 MW of photovoltaics);   

-       For Futuna, the development of 125 kW of hydroelectricity, 500 kW of photovoltaics and 1 MW of wind power.  

This programming will make it possible to obtain a penetration rate of renewable energies of 32% in 2023 in the event of a high scenario of evolution of consumption (multiplied by 2.2). With consumption in 2023 identical to that of 2015, the penetration rate of renewable energies would be 70% and 50% with a low scenario. 

In order to ensure greater efficiency in the energy transition targeted, the challenge of controlling consumption is essential. Real means of action are envisaged within the framework of an agreement with the Environment and Energy Management Agency (Ademe), to support Wallis and Futuna, and in particular on the whole theme of controlling energy demand. In this perspective, Ademe has already started an energy pre-diagnosis campaign in companies and administrations. 

Wallis et Futuna already wishes to promote the orientations that have just been described and which demonstrate its commitment to responsibility and exemplarity. 

As a follow-up to the validation of the final document of the EPP scheduled for the end of 2016, the Territory wishes to express its commitment to quickly define its greenhouse gas emission reduction objectives for the 1st quarter of 2017, which may be the direct translation of the renewable energy development objectives and energy efficiency actions provided for in the agreement with Ademe.
