It is therefore proper that we take time in this issue to reflect on the outcome of the meeting. Visionary The ministers demonstrated true leadership qualities in the meeting by providing a vision for what they would like the energy sector of the region to be. Certainly, they would like to phase out the region’s reliance on fossil fuel by whatever means possible. They therefore declared a vision of 100% renewable energy. They re-emphasised their commitment to the Paris Agreement and its related processes and therefore automatically apply ‘ambition’ and ‘urgency’ to the vision they have set for the region. It simply means that the two major fossil fuel consumption sectors in the region (power and transport) would have to undergo transformation from being fossil fuel-based to being fuelled by renewable energy sources. Consistency The ministers were consistent in their firm stand for a cleaner and healthier environment and did not want any language that would dilute their undisputed belief that a mitigation pathway of 1.5oC is what the world should work towards in order to save our planet. Actions speak louder The ministers acknowledged and praised the achievements made since the last meeting in 2014. Increases in the number and capacity of renewable energy installations in the region were noted. The adoption of renewable energy efficiency legislation was highlighted. The new approach the region has taken to build capacity in sustainable energy and climate change adaptation was adopted as a model to be upscaled, and the increasing attention to energy efficiency in the transport sector was given the go-ahead. Acceleration The tone of the ministers’ meeting outcomeswas one of doing things differently and quickly. It called for reforms and for these reforms to be carried out urgently. Reforms are mostly effective when supported by the political weight of legislation. The region needs to look at energy as a sector by itself, deserving its own umbrella management and coordination legislation supported by subsidiary legislation, including the role of the regulator in this sector. To support the acceleration in the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies in the region, the ministers launched the Pacific Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, with its focus on the private sector, value adding in productive sectors, and sustainable energy entrepreneurship. Results and impacts The ministers want to see and hear about results and impacts. In this respect, they wanted the meeting partners to consider holding the meeting on a biannual basis, rather than every three years. Thank you Finally, Energiser readers, this 24th issue of the newsletter is my last in the capacity of Deputy Director (Energy) in the Economic Development Division of SPC. Seven years ago, I took on the challenge of heading the Regional Energy Programme hosted by SPC, including starting this publication. I am glad that you stood by it 24 times. There are ongoing reforms at SPC to better serve its members and partners. The leadership of the Energy Programme will change and the future of Pacific Energiser will be revisited too. I wish the new management of the Energy Programme all the best and thank you most sincerely for all your support.

  • April 07 1. Executive Summary. Representatives from the SWPHC
    SWPHC8-6 Report on CBC Technical Visit Samoa : April 07 1. Executive Summary. Representatives from the SWPHC and the IHB were pleased to attend the 11th PacMA and 1st Meeting of Ministers for Maritime Transport in Samoa. These meetings deliberated on the application of a range of IMO based policies, programmes, standards and procedures for the Pacific. The hydrographic presentation was well received and a paper was submitted to PacMA with the recommendation adopted by the Ministers of Transport. A number of opportunities were found to improve capacity building in the Pacific. Improving communication on hydrography is relatively straight forward and easily achieved. Linking local hydrographers with other maritime administrators and the sharing of in-country resources such as vessels has considerable merit. Further technical visits to specific countries with operational National Maritime Coordination Committees are recommended. Longer term value is likely to be gained from assessing the most critical capacity building needs and matching them against internal resources, training opportunities, the availability of local vessels and equipment and the services major Hydrographic Authorities are able to supply. Training opportunities described in IHO S-47 are not well known at this prevents countries from seeking access to teaching institutes through either scholarships or aid funding. 2. Background The 2nd meeting of the Capacity Building Committee, held in Fiji in November 2004, determined that support, in the form of a technical visit, was to be provided to the small Island States in the SWPHC. The original intent was to schedule a separate visit for each country however this proved to be logistically difficult.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives of the recovery plan are accomplished, and funds made available, subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities with the same funds. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than our own. They represent our official position only after signed by the Director or Regional Director. Draft recovery plans are reviewed by the public and may be subject to additional peer review before the Service adopts them as final. Recovery objectives may be attained and funds expended contingent upon appropriations, priorities, and other budgetary constraints.

  • Polynesian Oral Traditions RAWIRI TAONUI1
    Polynesian Oral Traditions RAWIRI TAONUI1 CREATION Creation traditions explain the origins of all things, including the universe, heavens and earth, the gods of nature, all things animate and inanimate in the phenomenological world, male and female forms, and life and death. These mythologies reflect deep-seated philosophical, religious, cultural and social beliefs about the nature of reality and the unknown, being and non- being and the relationship between all things; hence they are regarded as the most sacred of all traditions. MAORI SPEECHMAKING New Zealand Maori celebrated Rangi (Skyfather) and Papa (Earthmother) in whakatauki (aphorisms), waiata (songs) and whaikorero(formal speechmaking) as the following example shows: E mihi atu ki Te Matua, ki a Ranginui, ki a Rangiroa, Greetings to the Skyfather, the Great Heavens, Tawhirirangi, Te Hauwhakaora, the Expansive Heavens Te Hau e pangia nga kiri o te tangata. The Heavenly Winds, the Life Giving Winds, E mihi atu ki a Papatuanuku, ki a Papatuarangi the Winds that caress the skin of all people. Te Papa i takatakahia e nga matua tupuna, Greetings to the Earthmother, Te Papa i waihotia e ratou ma extending beyond the visible land, Te Papa e maroro ki te itinga, e maroro ki te opunga extending beyond the visible heavens Te Papaawhi, e awhi ana i a tatou, o tena, o tena, The Earthmother trampled by our ancestors, o tena o nga whakatupuranga e tupu ake nei the Earthmother left in heritage by them Te Ukaipo, Te Ukaiao mo tatou katoa. The Earthmother that stretches unto the sunrise, that stretches unto the sunset The Embracing Earthmother that embraces each of us from all generations She that sustains us in the night, that sustains us in the day.2 Skyfather And Earthmother The ancestors of the Polynesians transported and relocated their oral traditions as they migrated across the Pacific Ocean.

PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Independent State of Samoa, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a basic design study on the Project for Construction of Inter-Island Ferry and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Samoa a study team from November 13 to December 1, 2007. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Samoa, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Samoa in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the Independent State of Samoa for their close cooperation extended to the teams.
