Kiribati Sustainable Energy Transition Capacity Building Week
This week includes three events;
1. Launch of the SDG 7 Road Map for Kiribati; 17 June 2024
The Road Map will be officially launched jointly by MISE and ESCAP on 17 June 2024. The objectives of this launching event are as follows:
- Officially launch the SDG 7 roadmap for Kiribati.
- Disseminate the key results and policy recommendations to responsible representatives from various agencies such as government bodies, private sectors, and academic and research institutions; and
- Encourage partnerships and collaborations to support the implementation of the SDG 7 Road Map.
2. Training on developing SDG 7 Road Map using the NEXSTEP framework; 17 – 18 June 2024
The two-day capacity building programme is a fully hands-on training targeted for energy planners and experts who will provide inputs to future updating of the SDG 7 Road Map as well as contribute to the development or updating of national energy strategies (e.g. Kiribati Energy Road Map). This hands-on training will use Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) tool, which has also been used to develop the SDG 7 Road Map, and cover energy demand and supply modelling, emissions modelling and economic analysis.
3. Capacity building on Minimum Energy Performance Standards and Labelling (MEPSL); 19 – 21 June 2024
The training on MEPSL needs to be designed to suit the local context and be appropriate to the regional guidelines for electrical appliance registration, e.g. by sharing lessons and learnings from the Pacific countries where MEPSL mechanism has been developed and implemented. This training will bring together policymakers, regulators, customs officers, importers and retailers to discuss a range of topics that are important to develop, implement and maintain the MPESL mechanism in Kiribati.
