An act to build an effective Climate Change Response and ensure Long-Term, just transition to a Climate Resilient and Lower Carbon Economy and Society and Related Matters.
Managing Water Scarcity through Strengthened Water Resource Management Project in Tuvalu is the second phase of the previous Strengthening Water Security in the Vulnerable Island States that aim to improve the water resource storage system to enhance resilience in communities. This regional project covers 5 Islands which are Cook Island, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Tokelau, and Tuvalu. The project's long-term goal is for communities to be less susceptible to water scarcity.
Tuvalu’s remoteness, susceptibility to extreme weather events and limited natural resources
contribute to its vulnerability to external health and economic shocks. Its population is reliant on
imports and open connections that are being impacted by COVID-19. Should a COVID-19 outbreak
occur, impacts could be severe due to Tuvalu’s isolation, health system constraints and high rates of
non-communicable diseases and co-morbidities. Recognizing this risk, the Government of Tuvalu
declared a national emergency on 20 March and locked down its borders.
The Government of Tuvalu developed its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC)
and submitted it to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
in 2015 and ratified the Paris Agreement on 22 April 2016. When the Paris Agreement came
into force on 04 November 2016, Tuvalu’s INDC submitted in 2015 automatically became
Tuvalu’s First NDC.
Climate change is a fundamental cross-cutting issue that undermines Tuvalu socio-economic development efforts. Tuvalu’s climate change priorities are articulated in the recently approved Te Kete Sustainable Development Strategy 2021-2030, national climate change policy, sectoral policies as well as in legislation such as the Tuvalu Climate Change and Disaster Survival Fund Act and Regulations. As indicated in the NDC, Tuvalu commits to a reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases from electricity by 100% by 2025.
