Climate change is the number one threat to human development. Yet progress towards limiting global warming to below 2

Sectoral no-lose target has been suggested as one way to overcome weaknesses of the current clean development mechanism and to encourage structural changes and significant reduction of CO2 emissions in carbon-intensive sectors in developing countries.

This study compares basic transport and air quality indicators for 12 Indian cities. It observes that the exploding cities. Observes that at current median household levels in these cities the rate of growth for two wheelers has slowed down and rate of growth of cars is increasing rapidly.

This strategic framework serves to guide and support the operational response of the World Bank Group (WBG) to new development challenges posed by global climate change. The WBG recognizes the very complex political process toward long-term cooperative action within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Climate Change and Energy Security: Lessons Learned delivers some extremely valuable insights into the respective debates on both sides of the Atlantic. Joe Aldy, Camilla Bausch, and Michael Mehling shed light on the experiences Germany and the United States have had in these important issue areas over the course

A multitude of new scientific findings and empirical evidence show the rate of climate change is surpassing the International Panel on Climate Change

The purpose of the small-scale A/R CDM project activity are: to earn carbon credits from growing of trees to be planted, under the CDM provisions of Kyoto Protocol; to help in mitigation of global warming by planting trees for sequestration of atmospheric

This report summarizes the findings and recommendations from the Expert Meeting on New Scenarios. Adhering to the catalytic role defined by the IPCC, the report thus describes the current state of planning by the scientific community for preparation of new scenarios.

This report proposes solutions for the cement industry which is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions. It describes a scenario in which the industry sector grows to more than twice its size in volume by 2050 while it reduces its absolute CO2 emissions by approximately three quarters compared to global emissions in 2007.

This report gives a clear picture of the key role that the ICT industry plays in addressing climate change globally and facilitating efficient and low carbon development.
