Get StartedThe movement gathered momentum. “Despite the problems, standards for solid waste management and pollution control are noticeably higher in the Cook Islands than in most of the other Pacific developing member countries,” reads a report commissioned in 2014 by the Asian Development Bank.
The Cook Islands Loss and Damage Dialogue brings together over 30 participants from Rarotonga, Aitutaki, Atiu, Mangaia and Mitiaro with delegates from the Northern Group Pa Enua participating virtually.
“With tourism comprising such a large proportion of its economy, Cook Islanders want those standards to be even higher.” In 2019, the Cook Islands government set aside funding for an industrial-sized glass crusher to deal with the nearly thousand tonnes of glass ending up in the landfill each year.
It allows for nearly half the weight of the island’s waste to be diverted from the landfill. Jaime Short, who coordinates waste programmes at Infrastructure Cook Islands, credits collaboration between government and the private sector with the progress made in the area of waste management.
“It is great to see that this dialogue provides space to share different groups’ needs and experiences when assessing loss and damage, and planning and developing response measures.” The 2025 Cook Islands National Dialogue on Loss and Damage is held from 14 to 16 April 2025 in Rarotonga.
Celebrating history with 60-years of self-governance this year, the Cook Islands is also focusing its lens on a future where the challenges of climate-induced loss and damage are met with equitable and effective solutions.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
