- Publication 16 August 2021 Greenhouse gas emissions of livestock raised in a harsh environment Domestic animals are large emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), and developing countries raise a large number of those animals. Livestock can be divided into local and improved animals. Local animals are usually not well characterised and seldom subject to structured breeding programs but well adapted to local environmental conditions while improved animals are characterised by high productions but limited capacity to adapt to extreme conditions. Analysis conducted with the use of ex-ante…
- Publication 16 August 2021 NAMA Information and Guidebook: Enabling implementation of NDCs through NAMAs The publication addresses fundamental issues related to the integration of NAMAs and mitigation actions in general into national development and climate change policies and actions. It presents practical ways to conduct barrier analysis that will lead and facilitate an adequate formulation of NAMAs and mitigation actions. Likewise, enabling environments and risk analysis are elaborated and presented in an easy-to-read language for NAMA practitioners in order to support them in successfully…
- Publication 16 August 2021 The mismatch between the in-country determinants of technology transfer, and the scope of technology transfer initiatives under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Despite decades of international political emphasis, little is known about the in-country determinants of technology transfer for climate change mitigation. We draw upon the conclusions of a series of standardised, official governmental statements of technology priorities, coupled with questionnaire-based data collection, to shed light on the nature of those determinants. We find that there is a disconnect between what developing country governments perceive as the key enablers of, and barriers…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Cold-related mortality vs heat-related mortality in a changing climate: A case study in Vilnius (Lithuania) IntroductionDirect health effects of extreme temperatures are a significant environmental health problem in Lithuania, and could worsen further under climate change. This paper attempts to describe the change in environmental temperature conditions that the urban population of Vilnius could experience under climate change, and the effects such change could have on excess heat-related and cold-related mortality in two future periods within the 21st century. MethodsWe modelled the urban climate…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Tracking Adaptation Progress at the Global Level: Key Issues and Priorities In recent years, and particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement and the adoption of the global adaptation goal of “enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change”, the recognition of the global dimensions of adaptation has increased. This chapter explores the emerging global perspective on adaptation and the efforts to review the effectiveness of adaptation action as well as the overall progress in achieving the global adaptation goal. It…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Lignocellulosic biofuels in India: current perspectives, potential issues and future prospects With the transportation sector growing considerably and demand for transport fuels rising globally, this study looks at the current and future status and technical/economic potential of lignocellulosic biofuels in India in a business-as-usual (BAU), national policy on biofuel (NPB) and 2 ℃ climate stabilization scenarios. It identifies key challenges in achieving the country’s biofuel targets, and analyses their role in India’s long-term transport scenarios. In this study, we have usedANSWER…
