PNG’s Climate-Compatible Development Strategy
Strategic framework Economic Development▪ Achieve GDP per capita of USD 3,000 by
2030 as set out in our Vision 2050
Mitigation
▪ Reduce emissions of greenhouse gases
by at least 50% by 2030, driven mainly by
abatement measures in land use, land-use changes and forestry
▪ Become carbon-neutral by 2050 investing
in low-carbon infrastructures today
Adaptation
▪ Reduce vulnerability to climate change-
associated risks
– Gradual hazards (e.g., vector-bornedisease)
– Event-driven hazards (e.g., landslides,
flooding)

Clear mitigation and adaptation priorities have been identified.
Pilots and programs
▪ Review of agriculture leases
▪ Locate palm plantations on
non-forest lands
▪ Afforestation/reforestation
programs
▪ Secondary forest management
▪ Reduced impact logging
REDD+
▪ Mangrove planting to protectcoastal villages
▪ Coastal early flood warning
system
▪ Coastal engineering/infra-
structure
▪ Inland flood warning
Adapta-
tion
Review agricultural leases
▪ Review policy process and legal
status of agricultural leases
▪ Develop sustainable alternative
land-use models in order to
revoke existing leases
Coastal early warning system
▪ Alert affected communitiesdirectly via SMS
so they have time
to avoid danger.
▪ Automate detection of sea level
changes that cause flooding
Examples

▪ Renewable energy for Port
Moresby, the national capital
▪ Rural electrification via
rehabilitation of existing and
new micro hydro plants
▪ Energy efficiency measures

Energy: Renewable energies offer a tremendous opportunity both for
grid connected areas and off-grid rural electrification
PNG has access to abundant renewableenergy sources
▪ Grid connected power: Significant
power shortages in all 3 major grid
areas requiring large diesel
generator backup capacity.
Hydro: Tropical weather with high
precipitation levels provide
continuous hydro power supply in
the mountains mainland.
Geothermal: PNG is located on the‘ring of fire’. Many active volcanoes
on the mainland and the islands.
One already used by Lihir gold mine
Biomass: Forests and agriculture
provide ample biomass supply. Palm
oil mills are developing first CDM
projects for methane-to-electricity.
Solar: Coast lines, islands and
remote areas with high solar
radiation provide ideal opportunities
for stand-alone photovoltaic
systems.
▪ Rural electrification:
Majority of population
does not have access
to electricity.
▪ Electricity Market Policy: New electricity
policy to be approved by Cabinet soon to
provide policy framework for privatesector investments into generation
and off-grid rural mini-grids.

Issues and Challenges• Effective mainstreaming of Climate Change Response
through capacity building and training
• Private sector participation through incentive creation
• Commission research and establish an informationdata centre for climate change
• Strengthen reporting mechanism and systems through
legislations
• Mainstreaming into budgetary and planning process
• Funding constraints / Coordination of funding• Climate Change Act
END – Thank you
