Implementación
Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
Acci�nDescripciónStatus
Influencia pol�tica/promoci�n de pol�ticasThrough Subbarao Consultancy Service's work with the government of Samoa, two components are being addressed; 1. development of a renewable energy and energy efficiency policy, and 2. development of a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) programme. The NAMA programme builds on the Samoa Low Carbon Development Strategy and targets activities to reduce GHG emissions. It will increase contributions of renewable energy to the Samoan energy mix. On-going
Actividades t�cnicas/cient�ficasResearch on biofuel for land transport, non-motorized transport, and project management through the Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa (SROS). Landcare Research New Zealand carried out an impact assessment to identify how farming jatropha at a large scale would impact the environment in Samoa. Two vehicles were successfully tested with a 50% biofuel blend for a year on a coconut-based biofuel before deciding to utilize jatropha curcas as a feedstock.Completed
Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
Agronomic viability of biofuels has been tested and demonstrated, and the generation of a NAMA focusing on the transport sector has been drafted, with a finalized report forthcoming.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
Processing payment to Subbarao through the Samoan government saw some delays, but coordination with the IUCN ORO Secretariat led to resolution of the associated issues.
Indique y describa brevemente las actividades que se realizarán en el futuro para la implementación de esta Resolución: 
Acción FuturaDescripción
Influencia pol�tica/promoci�n de pol�ticasPublication of the NAMA framework to inform programme development of a clean transport strategy, incentivizing introduction and adoption of electric vehicles in both the private vehicle and public transport fleets throughout the nation.
