Rising Tide is a poetry anthology publication comprising a collection of Pacific poems and artworks about human rights and social justice suitable for students in years 7-13.
The ‘Pacific Principles of Practice’ represents a significant achievement for this region in developing a guiding document for National Mechanisms for Implementation, Reporting and Follow-Ups (NMIRFs) towards the effective implementation of human rights and SDGs– a step forward that is of great global interest and which can be used to inform the establishment of such mechanisms worldwide.This document was officially launched at a virtual side event of the 44th Human Rights Council.
The Pacific Commonwealth Equality Project (PCEP) was a two-year project funded by the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The project aimed to drive inclusive and equitable social change through good governance, respect for human rights, and fairer opportunities for politically, socially, and economically marginalised communities. This ensure that the targeted countries are in a better position to achieve sustainable development outcomes for current and future generations.
Geothermal resources of Fiji Islands, Vanuatu, PNG, Solomon Islands, Western Samoa.
Hybrid power systems and their potential in the Pacific Islands.
Characteristics of projects with the view to sustainability.
Review of Tonga's management and institutional aspects of its solar rural electrification program.
Preliminary results of the monitoring and provides average efficiencies for imported and locally constructed solar hot water systems. Calculations of these efficiencies were based on data collected over the past six to nine months.
Technical report on the monitoring of solar water hot heaters. To measure, compare and substantiate efficiencies of selected solar water heaters installed in domestic premises in the Fiji Islands and the Kingdom of Tonga.
Training in software installation, data logging, data recovery and interpretation was conducted for the Fiji Islands Department of Energy (DOE) and the University of the South Pacific (USP) for monitoring solar hot water system efficiency. The workshop was held in SOPAC headquarters, Mead Road.
Final project report of the grid connected solar pv project in the Fiji Islands.
Training at OCEANOR in Norway on the use of satellite remote sensing data for study of wave climate. This training attachment was part of extended NORAD assistance to SOPAC's Regional Wave Energy Assessment Program. The attachment was carried out from 30 January -17 February 1995. Under the program OCEANOR, an oceanographic company fromNorway, was hired to study the wave climate for the South Pacific. In Fiji the tidal potential of an inlet in Vanua Levu was investigated.
Last edition of the Pacific Energy News for 2000. It is the second issue of a joint effort of the SOPAC Regional Energy Program & PREFACE - SPC.
This paper is the result of the discussions held during the Regional Energy Meeting (REM) 2000 and the SOPAC STAR Energy Working Group 2000 meeting which noted the need to provide technical information on "New Energy Technologies" in particular hydrogen fuel, ocean thermal energy conversion and space solar power generation.
In the present report data from the wave measurement programme, undertaken by Waverider buoys moored off the south coast of the two islands of Savai'i and Upolu, and directional wave measurements to the south east of Upolu are combined with satellite altimetric data and island wind measurements in building up a picture of the climatology of ocean waves off the shores of Western Samoa.
Workshop report; SPC-SOPAC Joint regional energy program design, 20-24 July 1998, Nadi, Fiji Islands
Report is an overview of the outcome from the regional energy program design workshop held in Nadi between 20 - 24 July 1998 so as to provide summary of regional energy sector priorities that can be considered during the 1998 energy program discussions between New Zealand and SOPAC.
