Part 1 Introduction -- Fiji’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Implementation Roadmap -- Mitigating through renewable energy – an overview of the requirements and the challenges -- Part 2 Mitigation Actions -- Contributions from hydropower – large and small -- Power from biomass- the importance of efficiency and fuel supply logistics -- Bagasse-fired thermal power generation in Fiji -- Waste to Energy from municipal solid wastes – incineration and biogas-based power generation -- Wind power possibilities -- Potential for large-scale solar farms – contribution to avoided emissions -- Biofuels for transportation – a GIS-based resource assessment -- Coconut oil for biodiesel production – a full life cycle analysis of emissions reduction -- Biodiesel production – dealing with the economic challenge -- Biodiesel production – dealing with the economic challenge -- Electricity generation now and later – energy modelling and forecasting -- Part 3 Efficacy of the Roadmap -- Taking stock – an overall assessment of the NDC Implementation Roadmap.

This book provides an insight into how a country contributes to the GHG emissions reductions required to keep global warming within the limits set by the Paris Agreement arrived at COP21 in 2015. It shows what actions are needed for the implementation plan that Fiji will use to satisfy its quota (i.e. its Nationally Determined Contribution or NDC) of the total GHG emissions reductions. It is a primary resource material for those who wish to obtain an understanding of the science behind climate change mitigation. It reveals the behind-the-scenes action that takes place to convert the rhetoric of climate change into the action on the ground that actually reduces the GHG emissions and global warming. The book also presents a critique of methods adopted by nations in meeting their NDCs to emissions reductions as agreed at the Paris Agreement, and suggests improvements.
