Energy Situation and Energy-Related Environment Issues of Pacific Island Countries*

Energy & Environment, 1991, vol. 2, issue 4, 339-347

Abstract: Pacific Islands have experienced low economic growth during the 1980s, and face significant energy problems. Petroleum products are imported at very high prices and biofuel use often leads to resource over-exploitation. However, perhaps the most basic energy-environment concern is the potential for sea level rise. Some Pacific Island nations would vanish altogether, while others would lose their most productive areas.
