- Publication 7 December 2022 Chapter: Loss and damage This chapter provides a commentary of Article 8 of the Paris Agreement focusing on loss and damage associated with climate change impacts. Published in: Paris Agreement: a commentary
- Publication 7 December 2022 Designing a Blockchain Model for the Paris Agreement’s Carbon Market Mechanism This paper examines the benefits and constraints of applying blockchain technology for the Paris Agreement carbon market mechanism and develops a list of technical requirements and soft factors as selection criteria to test the feasibility of two different blockchain platforms. The carbon market mechanism, as outlined in Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, can accelerate climate action by enabling cooperation between national Parties. However, in the past, carbon markets were limited by several…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Understanding climate policy integration in the global South through the multiple streams framework Actions needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change have often synergies and trade-offs with sectoral and sustainable development priorities, and the recent focus on SDGs and sustainable transitions highlights the need to integrate climate action into other policy spheres. This process is known as climate policy integration (CPI) or climate mainstreaming. Enhancing its understanding as a public policy making process can provide insights for its operationalization, which becomes relevant in…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Sustainable industrialization in Africa: the localization of wind-turbine component production in South Africa The increasing investment in renewable energy (RE) in Africa has been accompanied by the establishment of a number of local RE component-manufacturing facilities across various African countries. The local manufacture of RE components presents an interesting opportunity for achieving sustainable industrialization in Africa. However, limited research has been devoted to analysing the factors enabling and impeding the localization of RE component production. In this paper, we analyse the…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Mapping Bioenergy Supply and Demand in Selected Least Developed Countries (LDCs): Exploratory Assessment of Modern Bioenergy’s Contribution to SDG7 Bioenergy can play an important role in achieving the agreed United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and implementing the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, thereby advancing climate goals, food security, better land use, and sustainable energy for all. In this study, we assess the surplus agricultural residues availability for bioelectricity in six least developed countries (LDCs) in Asia and Africa, namely Bangladesh, Lao-PDR, and Nepal in Asia; and Ethiopia, Malawi, and Zambia in…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Transformation of India's steel and cement industry in a sustainable 1.5 °C world The anticipated economic and population growth in India will increase demand for material resources, energy and consequently carbon emissions. The global ambition to limit global warming to 1.5 °C by the end of the century calls for rapid and unprecedented action. As the most carbon-intensive sectors, India’s steel and cement industry will require a more transformative shift, both on the demand and supply side. Strategies from both supply and demand-side are analysed for steel and cement sector…
- Publication 7 December 2022 Innovation capability building in subsidiaries of multinational companies in emerging economies: Insights from the wind turbine industry Research on the catching up of latecomer firms has generally overlooked whether, and how, subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNC) operating in emerging economies have developed innovation capabilities. Existing research on innovation capability building in MNC subsidiaries mainly employs quantitative research designs, comprising large samples of MNC subsidiaries using patent statistics to generate insights at a highly aggregated level of analyses. Accordingly, the existing research fails…
- Publication 7 December 2022 SmartM: A Non-intrusive Load Monitoring Platform Real-time energy consumption monitoring is becoming increasingly important in smart energy management as it provides the opportunity for novel applications through data analytics, including anomaly detection, energy leakage, and theft. This paper presents a smart non-intrusive load monitoring approach for residential households, collecting fine-grained energy consumption data and disaggregating the data of appliances. The paper describes the implementation of the monitoring system, the data set…
