The Pacific Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement through Renewable Energy Project (PIGGAREP) was one of several key activities highlighted at Saturday's Renewable Energy Forum in Apia. This event was organised by the Governments of Samoa and New Zealand, and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) as part of the official pre-conference programme for the third United Nations Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
Attending the Forum were around 300 SIDS leaders, development partners and stakeholders from around the globe, all gathered together with the explicit task of identifying the elements needed to transform island energy sectors and to discuss how renewable energy is helping many SIDS to achieve sustainable economic development.
