Low-carbon competitiveness in Kenya
Overseas Development Institute, 2013This analysis of Kenya’s Vision 2030 initiative suggests that over the next decade, global trade patterns will be transformed by climate change, international mitigation, and natural-resource scarcity, resulting in an inevitable shift over time to a low-carbon global economy. This report has a particular focus on the energy, agriculture and manufacturing sectors.DocumentMapping the World Bank Group Risk Mitigation Instruments for Climate Change
Climate Policy Initiative, 2013The World Bank Group (WBG) is a major provider of risk mitigation instruments. This study provides an overview of general risk coverage offered through the WBG’s various member institutions, potential gaps compared to existing demand, and trends of risk coverage commitments for climate change.DocumentBottom-'wide' Approach to Climate Change - Typology and Analysis on Climate Vulnerability Reduction through Voluntary Actions
Thai Society of Higher Education Institutes on the Environment, 2013Climate change risk is mostly and often unfairly cast upon those who are vulnerable. This paper and its findings address the role, strength and limitations of voluntary actions as a means of reducing human vulnerability to climate change.DocumentTackling climate change through livestock: A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2013It has been known for several years that livestock supply chains are an important contributor to climate change. Yet, despite existing and attainable potential to significantly reduce these greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, political will and the right policies are still required.DocumentLow carbon competitiveness in Nepal
Overseas Development Institute, 2013This analysis suggests that over the next 10 years, global trade patterns will be transformed by climate change, international mitigation, and natural-resource scarcity, resulting in an inevitable shift over time to a low-carbon global economy.DocumentUsing Carbon Capture and Storage CCS Techniques in Mulla Abdulla and Taza Power Plants to Mitigate the Impact of Climate Change
Energy Science and Technology, 2013Fossil fuel-fired power plants are responsible for around one-third of total global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. They are therefore thought to be prime candidates for the application of CO2 capture and storage techniques.DocumentCapitalising on public transport: reducing GHG emissions in Latin American cities
Evidence and Lessons from Latin America, 2013Energy efficient modes of transport - like Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, bicycles and electric taxis - are providing an effective means for reducing urban greenhouse gas emissions in Latin American cities. The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to global GHG emissions, both worldwide and in the Latin America region.DocumentMitigation action implementation: Understanding variables that affect policy implementation
Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios, 2013This paper considers whether the implementation of mitigation action (MA) policy in developing countries would be subject to similar impediments as other (non-mitigation related) public policy interventions. It focuses on case studies from Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru.DocumentImpact of biomass in Egypt on climate change
Scientific Research Publishing, 2013This paper quantifies the biomass resources in Egypt generated from different waste resources. Although Egypt is not under any specific emission reduction or limitation targets under the Kyoto Protocol, its national plans have included mitigation measures to reduce emissions.DocumentAddressing Competiveness and Carbon Leakage Impacts Arising From Multiple Carbon Markets: A Modelling Assessment
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2013Differences in climate policy approaches may have impacts on the relative competitiveness of domestic sectors between countries, and on the environmental effectiveness through carbon leakage.Pages
