Abstract: It is increasingly the case that developing countries generally face a real dilemma in their stride towards developed status. Many sacrifices have to be made in socio-cultural areas as well as in their physical stature. The global pressure on responsible environmental management hits these countries most of all. The Pacific Island countries face some formidable challenges in this respect, particularly as global environmental changes can affect many of them directly, e.g. the rising sea level, while the need for energy increases at a high rate to satisfy the requirements of development. It is concluded that a substantial reorganisation of existing policy strategies is necessary to achieve the balance between energy requirements and environmental sustainability.
