Background

INTENDED NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTION OF CABO VERDE - INDC

- Contribution to the process of the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UnitedNations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in Paris December 2015;

- Contribution to global efforts to reduce emissions and limit the increase in global averagetemperatures to 2°C above pre-industrial levels;

As a Small Island Development state (SIDS): No contribution to CC but High Impact

Mitigation contributions and Adaptation measures proposed are mainly unconditionalunilateral efforts.

Cabo Verde supports the use of market-based mechanisms to implement and achieve theconditional portion of the contributions mentioned in this document.

Adaptation Contributions

Key strategic axes

- Promoting integrated water resources management, guaranteeing stable and adequatewater supply (for consumption, agriculture, ecosystems and tourism);

- Increasing adaptive capacities of agro-silvo-pastoral production systems in order toensure and improve national food production and promoting Cabo Verde´s ocean-based(“blue”) economy;

- Protecting and preventing degradation of coastal zones and their habitat.

Seek to ensure by 2030:

that every citizen has safe access to a minimum of 40l potable water per day;

that all urban households are connected to the water supply network;

that sewage collection system and proper disposal is extended to cover at least 90% forthe cities of Praia and Mindelo and at least 50% of rural areas;

the construction (or retrofitting/expansion) of at least 4 wastewater treatment plantsand water re-use facilities.

Adaptation Contributions

Proposed Measures

- Seek to build several new desalination and water pumping units. With progressiveincrease of RE penetration in the grid, overall energy costs are expected to reduce,decreasing also potable water supply and irrigation costs. Decentralized renewableenergy solutions and more efficient technologies will also be considered;

- Seek to promote new water storage and distribution techniques and to build at least 5new dams by 2030;

- Seek to increase urban resilience by developing master plans for rainwater drainage,improving and extending drainage infrastructure, and implementing flood managementsystems in vulnerable areas;

- Seek to disseminate more efficient small-scale irrigation techniques and promoting soilconservation schemes for farmers and rural producers;

- Seek to diversify income generating activities in rural areas by promote artisanal fishingactivities (providing training, equipment, micro-credit) in coastal areas;

Adaptation Contributions

Proposed Measures

- Seek to promote Cabo Verde´s ocean-based (“blue”) economy by, among others,supporting new techniques of aquaculture, improving quality of fishery products throughecolabelling, and promoting sustainable coastal and maritime tourism and sports;

- Seek to implement actions for the adaptation of fishing activities and fishingcommunities;

- Seek to strengthen governance, strategy development and capacity building.

The Government of Cabo Verde is dependent on international support in the form oftechnology support, capacity-building, business development, private-sector involvement,and international climate finance

Mitigation

Transport

Seek to develop a NAMA that increases energy efficiency of the transport sector, includingdomestic shipping and domestic air travel, and evaluates options for policies and actionsavailable to reduce the impact of GHG emissions originating from this sector.

This NAMA will consider options for boosting hybrid and electric fleet in the country, inparticular, the feasibility of making government vehicles electrically powered by 2030.

Forestry: Commitment

Cabo Verde makes an unconditional long-term commitment to engage in newafforestation/reforestation (“A/R”) campaigns in the order of 10,000 hectares by 2030.

With international support, Cabo Verde seeks an A/R campaign area of around 20,000hectares (8 000 000 trees) until 2030.

Cabo Verde also aims at eliminating three stone cooking stove (35% of households still usethree-stone stove) through improved low-emissions cookstoves by 2025 at the latest, andthereby substantially removing demand for firewood.

Mitigation

Waste

Seek to provide proper waste management coverage (with waste segregation, recycling,and treatment in sanitary landfills) for at least 50% of the more vulnerable municipalities by2030, including:

implementing educational programs for the separation of basic waste types byhouseholds and waste producers;

planning and building 5 waste collection and recycling facilities and/or general dropoff points by 2025;

planning and building at least 1 landfill equipped with gas-to-energy systems by2025; and

developing stand-alone bio-energy solutions.

Mitigation

Renewable Energy: Commitment

Cabo Verde makes an unconditional commitment:

to achieve 100% grid access by 2017; and

to achieve a 30% renewable energy penetration rate into the electric grid by 2025.

With international support, Cabo Verde seeks to increase the renewable energy uptake inelectricity to 100% by 2025, with best efforts to achieve this goal already by 2020, inaccordance with the following indicative trajectory:

35% RE penetration rate in 2016-2018;

50% RE penetration rate in 2018-2020;

100% RE penetration rate in 2020-2025.
