The Government of Tuvalu developed its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC)
and submitted it to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
in 2015 and ratified the Paris Agreement on 22 April 2016. When the Paris Agreement came
into force on 04 November 2016, Tuvalu’s INDC submitted in 2015 automatically became
Tuvalu’s First NDC.
Tuvalu faces several development challenges as one of Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The National Strategy for Sustainable Development (2016-2020) (TK III) addresses these challenges and provides important guidelines on Tuvalu’s sustainable development.
"Te Kaniva" was the first Tuvalu climate change policy presented by the former Hon. Apisai Ielemia in 2012, refering to a "traditional travelling method of using stars and daily weather patterns by our ancestors when they go on a long journey on a fishing expedition" meaning that TCCP will help the nation chart a way through the many impacts of climate change.
