Assessing green industrial policy: the India experience
International Institute for Sustainable Development, 2014This report addresses the topic of India’s Green Industrial Policy. It analyses the domestic political motivations for policies that target the solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy sector in India. It is argued that the support offered to the industry has come at a relatively low cost, but has also resulted in a slow pace of development – growth has not been sustained.DocumentTowards a global energy transformation
Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, 2014This study, produced by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, presents the case for a desperately needed transformation in global energy supply to address the present crisis in the sector.DocumentEnergy futures modelling for African cities - selection a modelling tool for the SAMSET project
Energy Research Centre, 2014With the majority of the literature about sustainable urban energy transitions having been focused on developed country contexts, it is crucial that forward-planning in developing countries by supported by research to ensure these quickly growing urban centres do not lock-in to unsustainable systems.DocumentTracking Clean Energy Progress 2014
International Energy Agency, 2014This report examines progress in the development and deployment of key clean energy technologies. It argues that although the deployment of solar photovoltaics, onshore wind and electric vehicles is still increasing rapidly, their growth rates are slowing. It highlights that growth of coal-fired power generation exceeds that of all non-fossil fuels combined.DocumentThe Solar Energy Centre: an approach to village scale power supply . The Solar Transition pilot project in Kenya
University of Oslo, 2014Access to electricity has a positive impact on a wide range of factors influencing rural communities, from improved health, to access to communication and information, to better educational facilities, economic prosperity and improved standard of living.DocumentThe development implications of the fracking revolution
Overseas Development Institute, 2014A larger number of countries are exposed to a potential trade shock emerging from a change in US oil imports including Angola, Congo, and Nigeria. An increase in fracking in China with the same size in the trade shock would double the effect. The total estimated effects from a reduction in US oil imports from African countries amount to US$32 billion.DocumentAdvancing green growth in the tourism sector: The case of Hue, Vietnam
Climate and Development Knowledge Network, 2014With a focus on the small Vietnam city of Hue, the ‘Sustainable urban tourism through low carbon initiatives’ project, led by the Asian Institute of Technology, Chiang Mai Municipality and the Hue Centre for International Cooperation, explored how the carbon footprint of tourism could be reduced, while maintaining and even enhancing local development benefits.DocumentThe European Union's proposed carbon equalisation system: some implications for India's exports
Research and Information System for Developing Countries, 2014In 2009, the European Union (EU) proposed to use border carbon measures, which could take the form of a direct or indirect “carbon tax”, against imports from its partner countries that were not following its emission norms.DocumentDriving electrification: A global comparison of fiscal incentive policy for electric vehicles
International Council on Clean Transportation, 2014This white paper evaluates the response to fiscal incentives in 2013 to incentivise the purchase of plug-in electric vehicles in major vehicle markets around the world. It synthesises sales data, national taxation policy information, and direct electric vehicle purchasing rebates to analyse the link between government policy and electric vehicle sales.
