Niue
The following activities are being supported under the European Union funded GCCA: PSIS project in Niue.
Climate change adaptation project
The ‘Augmentation of rainwater capture and storage in Niue’ project is supplying rainwater tanks to 45% of the island’s population. It is being delivered in combination with the PACC and PACC+ projects. Together, these three projects will cover the entire resident population of Niue. A polyethylene water tank manufacturing plant has been established in Niue to facilitate the installation of domestic rainwater capture and storage systems. Training in water catchment monitoring and maintenance is also being provided. The storage tanks will increase community resilience to climate variability and change, including periodic drought, and provide access to safe drinking water when the central supply is disrupted by extreme weather conditions and other events.
