The objective of the Rural Electrification Policy (1993) is to provide 24 hour continuous electricity to all potential consumers in Fiji. The Rural Electrification Unit is the organisation created to implement the policy.

This Act aims to make arrangements for the rational utilization, conservation, management and development of the water resources that are available in the Nepal in the form of surface water, underground water or in whatsoever form. According to this Act, the use of water for hydroelectricity purposes should be given the fourth place under priority order. Hydroelectricity use should follow Drinking water and domestic users; Irrigation; Agricultural uses such as animal husbandry and fisheries.

The Nepali irrigation Strategy aims to build an effective irrigation system. Indeed, there is need to focus on making optimal use of available physical and institutional infrastructures for the expansion of irrigated area round the year. This calls for coordinated and concrete efforts of all the stakeholders in the process of planning of the utilization of water resources with due priority to the multi purpose projects in the irrigation sector. The policy encourages the uses of water reservoirs and other irrigation systems for electricity generation purposes.

The Nepal Water Resources Strategy (WRS) targets the reconciliation of a range of problems and constraints to sustainable water resource development, including those related to government policies, financial and human resources, institutions and actions. The goal of the Strategy is to meet the country's water supply needs and achieving long-term sustainability. In order to achieve this goal, the Strategy will provide a systematic framework for water resources development and identify action plans to avoid and resolve conflicts, and achieve Nepal’s water-related development objectives. The Strategy is divided into three phases: Short-term (5-year) Purpose: Implementation of the comprehensive Water Resources Strategy. Medium-term (15-year) Purpose: The Water Resources Strategy is operationalized to provide substantial benefits to people for basic needs fulfillment as well as other increased benefits related to sustainable water use. Long-term (25-year) Purpose: Benefits from water resources are maximized in Nepal in a sustainable manner.

The Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS) started formulating National Water Plan (NWP) in 2002, which was approved by HMGN in September 2005. The Plan serves to implement the activities identified by the Water Resources Strategy. The NWP recognizes the broad objectives of the WRS and lays down short-, medium- and long-term action plans for the water resources sector, including investments and human resource development. Through this Plan, the Government aims to address environmental concerns reflected by the incorporation of the Environmental Management Plan in the document. This Environmental Management Plan will contribute to maximizing positive impact and minimizing or mitigating adverse impact in line with the environment sustainability concerns.

This Masterplan aims to develop Ulaanbataar as the capital city of Mongolia in order to allow it to develop while taking into consideration social and environmental concerns.

Ulaanbaatar city strives to become a well-developed capital city, but as of today more than 60 percent of UB population still lives in peri-urban informal settlements, ger areas, which lack modern infrastructure services, including heating and electricity. This report provides an analytical framework to assess the viability of various future development scenarios of the city. It offers costs and benefit analyses of the choices and tradeoffs relating to housing and urban services.

The implementation of the NAPCC to 2021 is aimed to help Mongolia create the capacity to adapt to climate change and establish a foundation for green economic growth and development. The goals of the program include to ensure environmental sustainability, to develop socioeconomic sectors adapted to climate change, to reduce of vulnerabilities and risks, and to mitigate GHG emissions as well as to promote economic effectiveness and efficiency and implementation of ‘green growth’ policies. The National Action Program on Climate Change will be implemented in two phases over the period from 2011 to 2021. In the first phase (2011-2016), national mitigation and adaptation capacity will be strengthened; legal environment, structure, institutional and management system will be set-up; and community and public awareness and participation in climate change activities will be improved. In the second phase (2017-2021), climate change adaptation measures will be implemented and GHG mitigation actions will commence.
