Samoa's Second NDC contains quantitative greenhouse gas
reduction targets in the energy, waste, and AFOLU, sectors.
Given the lack of data on marine sector emissions, it was not
possible to specify a numerical reduction target for emissions
reductions in the marine sector. However, Samoa has set the
target of expanding the area of mangrove forests by 5 percent
by 2030 relative to 2018. This rests on the assumption that
Samoa's total mangrove area was 374 hectares (ha) in 2018.
Increasing this area by 5 percent would require Samoa to plant
18.7 ha of new mangroves, while preventing any loss of current
mangrove forests.
Not applicable. Samoa's Second NDC does not include any
climate forcers that are not covered by the IPCC guidelines.
Not applicable
Samoa intends to achieve the mitigation targets stated in its
Second NDC through domestic efforts and actions, and it does
not intend to use internationally traded credits to meet these
targets. However, Samoa is interested in selling carbon credits
to more developed countries that may be interested.
