Hybrid electricity system for Tuvalu
Tuvalu is the fourth smallest country in the world and is aiming to have 100% generation of electricity through renewable sources by 2020. IUCN, with assistance from the Governments of Austria and Italy, helped to achieve this vision. This video highlights a hybrid solar power system installed on Vaitupu, the largest island in Tuvalu and home to the only government secondary school. Due to its success, the government is looking to replicate the project on six other outer islands of Tuvalu.

Powering up remote Tuvalu through solar
This short documentary film, created through the Pacific Islands Greenhouse Gas Abatement through Renewable Energy Project (PIGGAREP), documents the life-changing potential of 24 hour solar power for communities living in the remote islands of Tuvalu.
Earlier this year, PIGGAREP sent a small team to remote Tuvalu to capture the community response to new solar photovoltaic (PV) installations being constructed on the islands of Nukufetau, Nukulaelae and Nui. These installations will ensure that, for the first time ever, electricity will be available 24 hours a day to the communities in these remote locations.
The solar project has been made possible through a partnership between the Government of Tuvalu and the European Union, with additional support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

Tuvalu and Northern Cook Island Change to Solar Electricity
PowerSmart Solar works with the New Zealand Aid Programme to complete a $35 Million Renewable Energy Project in Tuvalu and the Northern Cooks. The project consists of installing 12 off-grid solar power stations on 10 remote south pacific atolls in 2015. The project won best solar installation with storage at the 2015 SEANZ awards.

Te Lafiga o Tuvalu - Tuvalu's Long Term Adaptation Plan (2022)
As a small, low-lying atoll nation, Tuvalu faces extraordinary challenges due to sea level rise. By 2050, it is estimated that half the land area of the capital will become flooded by tidal waters. By 2100, 95% of land will be flooded by routine high tides. Climate change also poses extreme risk to drinking water, food security, and energy supply.
Based on the best available science today, Tuvalu's new Long-Term Adaptation Plan (L-TAP), 'Te Lafiga o Tuvalu' (Tuvalu’s Refuge), presents a new approach to adaptation, designed to provide comprehensive solutions beyond 2100. The vision: 3.6 square kilometres of raised, safe land with staged relocation of people and infrastructure over time; a sustainable water supply; greater food and energy security; and space for expanding civic and commerc...

Rising sea levels: Is there any hope for the inhabitants of Tuvalu? | DW News
"We are staring at the existential threats of climate change. We are grappling with the questions of statelessness, sovereignty, the risk of losing our way of life", Ambassador Samuelu Laloniu, Special Envoy of the Government of Tuvalu, told DW's Leonie von Hammerstein. "I think there's a need for people to understand the human aspects, the human face of the climate crisis", he added.
The low-lying Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, especially sea level rise. "Our priority now is to build resilience and enhance our capacity to adapt."
Along with a senior delegation from his country, Mr. Laloniu has visited Geneva, Copenhagen, Paris and Berlin, to meet with senior government officials, UN representatives and civil soci...

Floating cities as an innovative response to climate change | DW Documentary
Sea levels are rising due to climate change. Many coastal cities are at growing risk of flooding. Architects are trying to react to this development with new ideas, such as floating cities. But this concept is not without its problems.
Architect Koen Olthuis is constructing a floating city in the Maldives, sustainably cooled with sea water. In the Netherlands, Sacha and Jan live in a waterborne section of the Steigereiland neighborhood. It's based on a complicated feat of engineering - but also depends on cooperation and solidarity. If one home is too heavy, it raises the one next door. Yet Sacha and Jan like its collaborative nature. The residents of the floating neighborhood all love living by the water, not far from the heart of Amsterdam.

Along with a senior delegation from his country, Mr. Laloniu has visited Geneva, Copenhagen, Paris and Berlin, to meet with senior government officials, UN representatives and civil society, and discuss the urgent need for climate action.
"If we are serious about sea level rise, we have to address the problem at the source. And, you know, fossil fuel is the greatest source of the climate crisis and sea level rise", he told DW.

SUMMARY
=======
Renewable energy in Tuvalu is a growing sector of the country's energy supply. Tuvalu has committed to becoming the first country to get 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020. This is considered possible because of the small size of the population of Tuvalu and its abundant solar energy resources due to its tropical location. It is somewhat complicated because Tuvalu consists of nine inhabited islands. The Tuvalu National Energy Policy (TNEP) was formulated in 2009, and the Energy Strategic Action Plan defines and directs current and future energy developments so that Tuvalu can achieve the ambitious target of 100% renewable energy for power generation by 2020. The program is expected to cost 20 million US dollars and is supported by the e8, a group of 10 electric companies from G8 countries. The Government of Tuvalu worked with the e8 group to develop the Tuvalu Solar Power Project, which is a 40 kW grid-connected solar system that is intended to provide about 5% of Funafuti’s peak demand, and 3% of the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation's annual household consumption.Tuvalu participates in the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), which is a coalition of small island and low-lying coastal countries that have concerns about their vulnerability to the adverse effects of global climate change. Under the Majuro Declaration, which was signed on 5 September 2013, Tuvalu has commitment to implement power generation of 100% renewable energy (between 2013 and 2020), which is proposed to be implemented using Solar PV (95% of demand) and biodiesel (5% of demand). The feasibility of wind power generation will be considered. In November 2015 Tuvalu committed to reduction of emissions of green-house gases from the electricity generation (power) sector to almost zero emissions by 2025.

Sea levels are rising due to climate change. Many coastal cities are at growing risk of flooding. Architects are trying to react to this development with new ideas, such as floating cities. But this concept is not without its problems.
Architect Koen Olthuis is constructing a floating city in the Maldives, sustainably cooled with sea water. In the Netherlands, Sacha and Jan live in a waterborne section of the Steigereiland neighborhood. It's based on a complicated feat of engineering - but also depends on cooperation and solidarity. If one home is too heavy, it raises the one next door. Yet Sacha and Jan like its collaborative nature. The residents of the floating neighborhood all love living by the water, not far from the heart of Amsterdam.
In Germany, a University of Kiel project goes even further. Biologist Martina Mühl is researching the possibility of implementing aquaculture very close to home, so residents can tap their own fresh local supply of fish and seafood.
Hamburg and Bremen have been responding to rising tides by constructing ever higher levees. But soon even this will no longer be enough to cope with the growing impact of climate change. This documentary shows possible alternatives to levees and how we might be able to cope with the rising sea levels in the future.
