The inventory indicates that Samoa’s GHG emissions in 1994 are: CO2 = 20.22 Gg, CH4 = 3.30 Gg, N2O = 1.26 Gg, NOx = 0.97, CO = 7.42 and NMVOC = 1.58 Gg. By world standards, this is quite insignificant.
This report was produced with the assistance of many people and organisations in Samoa, including government agencies, non-government organisations, and individuals.
This report was prepared and published by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment with financial assistance from the Global Environment Facility through UNDP
This paper highlighted that the ability and knowledge of the Samoans to forecast the onset of extreme weather and climate events, relying predominantly on local environmental changes are vital tools that should be incorporated in the formulation of human induced climate change adaptation strategies.
This fourth (4th) national report to the CBD documents the achievements, issues, lessons and future needs for Samoa in biological diversity conservation, consistent with the CBD reporting guidelines and building on previous national reports.
Samoa’s fifth national report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) examines trends and changes in the country’s biodiversity and the status of NBSAP implementation since the fourth national report was submitted in 2008.
Collectively, this research illuminated a viable foundation for positive adaptation and comprehensive mitigation of climate change in Samoa.
