    Carbon forestry projects in the Philippines: potentials and challenges - the Laguna Lake Development Authority s forest-carbon development project

    World Agroforestry Centre, 2011
    The Laguna Lake Development Authority’s carbon-forestry project, called the Laguna de Bay Community Watershed Rehabilitation Project, consists of two components: 1) Project 1,which covers an aggregate of 140 ha over 10 barangays within the Caliraya-Lumot Watershed.

    Potential for biofuel feedstock in Kenya

    World Agroforestry Centre, 2011
    Many developing countries, Kenya included, want to diversify their domestic energy supply hence reduce dependence on highly volatile fossil fuel prices, enhance access to energy in rural areas, promote rural development and to reduce carbon emissions.

    Agricultural monitoring and evaluation systems: what can we learn for the MRV of agricultural NAMAs?

    World Agroforestry Centre, 2011
    Mechanisms for support to Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) have potential to upscale adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices in developing countries. Discussions of both NAMAs and agricultural mitigation have focused on methodologies for estimating emission reductions and data requirements for MRV.

    Towards a policy menu to strengthen the ambition to mitigate greenhouse gases

    Ecofys, 2014
    It is widely acknowledged in international climate negotiations that greater ambition is required, in the near-term future, to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and avoid exceeding safe levels. While existing commitments from states are presently essential, they do not close the gap necessary to avoid a two degree scenario.

    Energy, development and climate change: Striking a balance

    Watershed Organisation Trust, 2014
    This report focuses on rural energy needs in India, in particular energy for subsistence for livelihoods, mobility or infrastructure. It argues that in charting out a developmental pathway which is ecologically sustainable, India has a wider spectrum of choices precisely because it is at an early stage of development.

    Mainstreaming development imperatives into NAMAs: An approach

    Development and Mitigation Forum, 2014
    This paper offers a structured approach to making these decisions on which mitigation actions are reported as NAMAs (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions) and which of the emerging categories of NAMAs they are assigned to.

    An overview of the carbon trading landscape: possibilities and pitfalls for South Africa

    South African Institute of International Affairs, 2010
    In order to meet its international and domestic carbon emissions requirements, South Africa needs to substantially rethink its current energy and industrial trajectories. This represents a massive challenge for any country with such a high dependence on coal as part of its energy mix – especially in light of retaining its global competitiveness and maintaining its economic growth.

    Visualising development impacts: Experiences from country case studies

    Development and Mitigation Forum, 2014
    This paper explores the relationship between development goals and tackling human-made climate change. It discusses the application of a development impact assessment (DIA) visual through three country case studies in Ghana, Kenya and Montenegro.

    Integrated city strategy for CO2 emission reduction, resource efficiency and climate resilience

    Wuppertal Institute, 2013
    This report integrates the three key dimensions of the Low Carbon Future Cities project: climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and resource efficiency. It presents two low carbon scenarios for the pilot city of Wuxi with project energy consumption and CO2 emission in Wuxi up to 2050.

    Conflict, climate change and politics: Why a techno-centric approach fails the resilience challenge

    Overseas Development Institute, 2014
    This paper explores the nexus between climate change and conflict using three case studies to look at the role of political analysis in analysis of climate change impacts. The first, on Aceh, shows how inattention to the political legacy of a recent conflict can undermine well-intentioned and technically sound environmental or climate mitigation programmes.
