Building Nauru''s climate resilience | Pacific Environment
Climate finance to build Nauru''s resilience against climate change is making an impact. Nauru''s Department of Climate Change and National Resilience and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme launched a two-day joint inception workshop for the Republic of Nauru National Adaptation Planning-Phase One known as the Nauru
Energy system resilience – A review
The specific objectives are to: (1) clarify the meaning of energy system resilience, (2) map out a broad landscape of threats to energy systems from a resilience perspective, (3) map out a more detailed landscape of threats and countermeasures for a specific type of threats with high relevance.
Adapting the theory of resilience to energy systems: a review
Sustainable systems must maintain their function even in the event of disruptions in order to be considered truly sustainable. The theory of resilience concerns the behavior of systems during and aftershocks. Initially, modern understanding of resilience focused on ecological systems; however, the theory was extended to include the ecological aspects

Project to support the achievement of Nauru''s National Energy
Nauru, like most Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Pacific region, has scarce local energy resources limited to solar energy and biomass and imports most of the energy consumed from abroad. To address this, the country has started the Supporting Mainstreamed Achievement of Roadmap Targets on Energy in Nauru project.
A review on resilience assessment of energy systems
2. Resilience definitions and fields of application. First uses of resilience could be traced to materials science as early as the nineteenth century (Tredgold, Citation 1818).However, the word itself comes from Latin resilire
Sustainable and Resilient Energy Systems Graduate Certificate

The effects of not being able to take up this technology will be continued reliance on fossil fuel use for power generation and water production. However, the potential and funding availability of a
Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure for Urban Energy Systems
For example, the official U.S. Federal Energy Management Agency (FEMA) manual on mitigation of urban hazards does not mention energy system resilience. 18 Similarly, a recent World Bank report noted that "the energy sector is under-represented in both peer-reviewed literature on adaptation and in related investments and actions."
Department of Climate Change and National Resilience (DCCNR
Energy Division. The Energy division at the DCCNR is responsible for the formulation, monitoring and review of national level energy policies, strategies, action plans and legislations. Their goal is to provide a reliable, affordable, secure and sustainable energy supply to meet the socio economic development needs of Nauru.
Towards a carbon-neutral community: Integrated renewable energy systems
One promising solution is integrated renewable energy systems (IRES), which offer low-emission energy supply systems and proximity to end consumers. Compared to traditional or single-source energy supply systems, IRES have potential to reduce carbon emissions by 10 % to 50 % and can achieve a substantial 42 % reduction in operating costs.
Integrating sustainable and energy-resilient strategies into
Sustainable and resilient energy systems therefore need to be centred in humanitarian action, particularly in sectors where energy use can drastically change the lifecycle impact of a given project. In addition to the lack of clear responsibility across humanitarian clusters in energy concerns, there is a perception that humanitarian
Designing climate resilient energy systems in complex urban
The combined effects of climate change and urbanization have also emphasized the critical need for sustainable and resilient energy systems. Urbanization is occurring at an unprecedented rate, particularly in developing countries, and has led to an increased demand for energy in urban areas. Urban overheating and the rising standards of living
