- Publication 16 August 2021 Linkages between NAMA - LEDS - MRV Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS), Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) are three of the key conceptual components emerging as part of the global architecture for a new climate agreement by 2015. The three components are developed in the context of global and national goals for sustainable development contributing to long term national development goals and priorities.With an aim to contribute to the development of the…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Electric Vehicle Scenarios for India: Implications for mitigation and development The transport sector globally is overly dependent on liquid fossil fuels. Electric vehicles (EVs) are touted as a way of diversifying the fuel mix and helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. There could also be other co-benefits of EVs, such as improved energy security, decarbonising of the electricity sector, CO2 mitigation and reduction in local air pollution. The Indian government has recently launched a national electricity mobility mission to promote EVs. There is, however, much…

The study has being executed with the collaboration of a team of experts from CUBAENERGIA 2 and UNEP Risø Centre3.The objectives of the study are twofold, the provision of support to Caribbean Countries to actively consider participation in the…
- Publication 16 August 2021 NAMAs for Sustainable Development
- Publication 16 August 2021 Sustainable Development Impacts of NAMAs: An integrated approach to assessment of co-benefits based on experience with the CDM Sustainable development priorities provide the context for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) by developing countries. While methods exist to assess the sustainable development (SD) co-benefits of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects, no approach has yet been developed to assess the SD impacts of NAMAs. This paper argues for a new integrated approach to asses NAMAs’ SD impacts that consists of SD indicators, procedures for stakeholder involvement and safeguards against…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Sustainable energy transitions in emerging economies: The formation of a palm oil biomass waste-to-energy niche in Malaysia 1990–2011 The economic development in emerging economies in Southeast Asia has significantly increased the use of fossil fuel based energy. This has severe implications for global climate change, and against this background, scholars within the sustainable transition tradition have taken an interest in addressing how transitions towards more sustainable development pathways in this region may be achieved. This paper contributes to the abovementioned literature by examining the conducive and limiting…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Development of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia: niche development and the formation of innovative capabilities The objective of this thesis is to contribute to advance further the emerging research agenda on the transfer and diffusion of low-carbon technologies in developing countries by adopting a study of the development of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia. The main research question addresses the main factors influencing the transfer and diffusion of biomass power plant technologies in Malaysia. This question is explored in the four papers comprising the thesis, which are based on…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Advancing methodological thinking and practice for development-compatible climate policy planning There are growing calls for identifying climate mitigation and adaptation policy packages that would also support human development objectives at the national and regional levels. The literature on climate policy analysis and impact assessment continues to be driven by standard economics with its body of competitive general equilibrium optimization models and cost-benefit analysis techniques of aggregation and monetization. However, its recommendations for climate action are often based on…
