Web-based cleantech toolkit for Samoa
CCW summit meets challenge of liberating whole economies from fossil fuels A web-based toolkit of clean technology solutions – distributed generation, energy effi ciency, electric vehicles, sustainable tourism and alternative fuel usage – topped the ideas for phase one of ending an island economy like Samoa’s dependence on fossil fuels at the Creating Climate Wealth summit in Washington DC last month.
Carbon War Room is now
considering deploying an expert team of fi nance, transportation, electricity and island-specifi c experts to commence work and defi ne the toolbox and a portfolio of renewable energy projects for the island. Samoa’s ambassador to the US, Aliioaiga Feturi Elisaia, and Hunter Lovins, founder of Natural Capitalism Solutions, were joined by executives from the Gold Standard, Prize Capital LLC, HOMER Energy, the Coalition for Green Capital and the World Bank for the working track, along with representatives from the Bahamas and other island economies.
