Climate Action Pathways for Island Transport
About the Project
The Climate Action Pathways for Island Transport (CAP-IT) project is part of a Japan-funded more than US $37 million Green Transformation initiative, which is also supporting Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and Vanuatu to help accelerate their transition to a green and low-carbon future. US$15.3 million of these funds have been allocated to Samoa. The project aims to jump-start Samoa’s green transformation to achieve a clean energy future and increase resilience to climate impacts.
Key Planned Objectives
- To promote urgent and inclusive transformation of the land and maritime transport sectors towards decarbonization by accelerating the uptake of electric vehicles and outboard motors
- To support the achievement of Samoa’s enhanced NDCs for the energy and transport sector by 2030
- To create an enabling environment through strengthened and gender-sensitive institutional governance, financial and technical capacities and accelerating the decarbonization of land and maritime transport systems
