• Publication 16 August 2021 Electric vehicles and India's low carbon passenger transport: A long-term co-benefits assessment Electric vehicles have attracted the attention of India’s policy makers as clean technology alternatives due to their multiple advantages like higher efficiency and lower air pollution in short to medium term and reduced CO2 emissions as electricity gets decarbonized in the long-run under low carbon scenarios. This paper uses an energy system model ANSWER-MARKAL to analyse the role of electric vehicles (EV) in India. The modelling assessment spans the period 2010 to 2050 and analyses future EV…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Valuation of climate change mitigation co-benefits. This document describes tools for valuating in monetary terms the co-benefits associated with climate change mitigation actions. The term co-benefits refers to outcomes of those actions other than their primary outcome (reducing greenhouse-gas emissions). Such non-primary outcomes can fall under a broad range of economic or, more likely, environmental and social issues. Examples of positive environmental impacts that may not be the primary outcome of a climate change mitigation policy include…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Energy and low carbon development efforts in Ghana: institutional arrangements, initiatives, challenges and the way forward Over the years, Ghana has invested considerable effort and resources together with international partners to develop the energy sector and to mainstream energy low carbon pathways into national development plans. Low carbon development (LCD) provides a good opportunity, of not only building upon earlier energy and climate change local processes and structures but also help to mainstream low carbon agenda in economic activities and national development plans. For this to work however, require…
• Publication 16 August 2021 The Business Case for Responsible Corporate Adaptation: Strengthening Private Sector and Community Resilience. Every day, the reality of climate change is more present and visible. From record-setting heat waves, hurricanes and typhoons to fast- rising ocean temperature to fast-melting sea ice, the need to anticipate, prepare and adapt to climate change has never been as clear. Businesses have a key role to play in supporting social, ecological and economic resilience to climate change impacts and a responsibility to protect their value chain and serve their customers. To date, climate action in the…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Overcoming Barriers to the Transfer and Diffusion of Climate Technologies This guidebook provides practical and operational guidance on how to assess and overcome barriersfacing the transfer and diffusion of technologies for climate change mitigation and adaptation.The guidebook is designed to support the analysis of specific technologies, rather than pursuing asectoral (e.g. transport) or technology group (e.g. renewable energy) approach.Given that there is no single solution to enhancing technology transfer and diffusion policies needbe tailored to country-specific…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Pathways to deep decarbonization in India This report is a part of the global Deep Decarbonisation Pathways (DDP) Project. The analysis consider two development scenarios for India and assess alternate roadmaps for transiting to a low carbon economy consistent with the globally agreed 2°C stabilization target. The report does not consider existence of a reference scenario of a world with unmitigated carbon emissions recognizing UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s exhortation that ‘.. there is no “Plan B” for action as there is no …
• Publication 16 August 2021 India’s GHG Emission Reduction and Sustainable Development India has made voluntary commitment for reducing the emission intensity of GDP in the year 2020 by 20–25 % below that in the year 2005. The Indian approach is based on delineating and implementing cost-effective mitigation actions which can contribute to national sustainable development goals while remaining aligned to the UNFCCC’s expressed objective of keeping the average global surface temperature increase to below 2 C over the preindustrial average. This chapter assesses three emission…
