7. 8. 9. sector. In 2015, Typhoon Nangka cost RMI more than 3% of its GDP in a single night. As king tides become more frequent and intense, salt water is increasingly seeping into fresh water lenses, creating urgent challenges for the islands. Raising support to assist with adaptation efforts remains a significant challenge. RMI has matched its international leadership in calling for greater ambition with equally ambitious domestic action. In 2015 RMI became the first Small Island Developing State (SIDS) to table its post-2020 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). This committed the country to a 32% reduction of GHG emissions by 2025, based on 2010 levels. It also made an indicative commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 45% by 2030, based on 2010 levels, thereby setting a projected straight-line intended NDC trajectory to achieve RMI's stated aspiration of net zero GHG emissions by 2050. The NDC was ground breaking in that it contained the first economy-wide absolute GHG emissions reduction target against a base year by a developing country. In 2016 RMI also committed, under the Marrakech Partnership, to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2050. RMI has reiterated its aspiration to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050, including most recently through signing the Declaration of the Carbon Neutrality Coalition at the One Planet Summit in December 2017. The purpose of this 2050 Climate Strategy which is RMI's long-term low greenhouse gas emission climate-resilient development strategy under the Paris Agreement - is to outline a long-term pathway for RMI to achieve its objectives for net zero emissions and 100% renewable energy, as well as to facilitate adaptation and climate resilience in a way that ensures the future protection and prosperity of the country and its women, men and youth.
