Given Palauâs remoteness, the small size of the economy, low GDP per capita, dependence on partnership support and vulnerability to climate change, Palauâs proposed targets are ambitious and fair as measured against other nations. Under the BAU scenario emissions would be 140 thousand tCO2e in 2025, compared to 68 thousand tCO2e if both the renewable energy and energy efficiency targets are met.Emissions in 2005 were approximated at 88 thousand tCO2e. Full implementation of the renewable energy and energy efficiency strategies outlined below puts Palau on a trajectory to reducing emissions by half as against BAU in 2025, the equivalent of 22% under 2005 emissions levels.
