The Decarbonisation Strategy for Samoa transport sector until 2030 (Strategy) promotes low-carbon transportation to contribute to global efforts to reduce the impacts of climate change. It provides Samoa’s leaders with tools to choose practical and affordable ways to reduce GHG emissions and deliver on their climate commitment. The strategy sets out a pathway to a 13 % to 18 % reduction in GHG emissions from the transport sector by 2030 compared to 2022, with continued reductions in GHG emissions thereafter.

The UNDP Climate Action Pathways for Island Transport (CAP-IT) project supports Samoa’s goals by promoting a low-emission transport system that is inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. This involves building strong gender-sensitive governance and improving technical and financial capability to achieve Samoa’s second NDCs and speed up the shift to low-emission land and sea transport.
