Island nations poised to suffer early and greater climate impacts convene renowned experts and scientists to define real-world, near-term solutions at United Nations Climate Summit. A new real-world, near-term solution action plan commissioned by the Republic of Nauru, Chair of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) and written by 30 leading climate and energy experts from around the world will be formally released at the United Nations Climate Summit. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has asked world leaders to come to the Climate Summit with bold initiatives to lower the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for the climate crisis. In response, this paper defines a suite of existing policies and technologies that the international community can use to immediately speed and scale the transformation to a low-carbon economy and avert the worst impacts of climate change.
