The FSM recognizes the humanitarian imperative to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions at the global level by 2050 in order to preserve a reasonable chance at achieving the long-term temperature goal under Article 2 of the Paris Agreement. The FSM's ambitious contributions in the energy sector are well in line with this objective, particularly when considered in light of the country's development circumstances. With the provision of the necessary means of implementation from international sources, the FSM has the potential and the political will to take even greater action in the energy sector and other high emitting sectors with a view to achieving net zero emissions as soon as possible. The FSM also recognizes the substantial sustainable development co-benefits that would accompany such an ambitious undertaking.
