    Energy poverty alleviation and climate change mitigation: is there a trade off?

    Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, 2013
    Energy poverty alleviation has become an important political issue. Several initiatives and policies have been proposed to deal with poor access to modern sources of energy in developing countries. However, this paper argues that an important question is whether providing universal access to energy could significantly increase carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

    Impacts of environmental degradation and climate change on electricity generation in Malawi

    International Energy and Environment Foundation, 2013
    This paper explores the impacts of environmental degradation and climate change on electricity generation in Malawi. Hydropower provides almost all of the country's electricity; a reliance on freshwater supply makes it a highly vulnerable energy source to climate change and environmental degradation.

    Mobilizing climate investment: the role of international climate finance in creating scaled-up low-carbon energy

    2013
    It is estimated that developing countries need US$ 531 billion per year additional investment in energy supply and demand technologies, between now and 2050, in order to limit global temperature rise to two degrees above pre-industrial levels.

    Measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for low carbon development: learning from experience in Asia

    Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, Japan, 2013
    This policy report seeks to contribute to further development of measurement/monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) modalities and methodologies by providing conceptual clarification of MRV and outlining 16 case studies of MRV schemes. The concept of MRV is described as entailing multiple types, which should be distinguished to avoid conceptual confusion.

    Private investment in wind power in Colombia

    Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, 2012
    This report examines the feasibility of private investment in wind power in Colombia within the current regulatory framework. It focuses especially on the regulatory methodology for estimating the ‘firm energy’ that wind power plants are capable of providing in Colombia to back up hydro generation during extended periods of drought (El Niño weather events).

    Mitigating climate change in Nigeria: fuel subsidy removal as a possible policy option

    Social Science Research Network, 2013
    Nigeria is a significant producer of crude oil. Over the years, various governments in Nigeria have been subsidising the pump price of crude oil, mainly arguing that this helps to improve welfare of the country’s citizens. However, this paper argues that this might need to change considering the effects exploration of crude oil has on increasing carbon dioxide emissions.

    Meeting India's renewable energy targets: the financing challenge

    Climate Policy Initiative, 2012
    This paper analyses the challenges for designing Indian national policy to attract investment in wind and solar energy at a reasonable cost. It also examines the impact of national and state policies on various classes of renewable energy investors, as well as the overall relative costs or benefits of policies on the final cost of renewable energy projects.

    Nationally appropriate mitigation action study on sustainable charcoal in Uganda

    2013
    The charcoal sector provides one of the greatest opportunities to prevent carbon emissions in least developed countries (LDCs) while fostering significant sustainable development benefits. The objective of this nationally appropriate mitigation action (NAMA) study is to provide Uganda with an opportunity to help shape its future low carbon development.
