India's key energy challenges include but not limited to: (1) increasing domestic production of primary fuels; (2) securing necessary imports of primary fuels at relatively stable prices; (3) attracting investment across all segments of the energy sector; (4) investing in new energy technologies; (5) reducing the carbon intensity of energy use a
Intended nationally determined contributions of Parties in the context of the 2015 agreement - Draft Text on ADP 2-6 agenda item 3 Implementation of all the elements of decision 1/CP.17
This paper aims to provide a review of the organisations and governments involved in supporting other countries to reform their fossil fuel subsidies and the approaches being undertaken.
This paper calculates energy security, sustainability, and affordability from 2010 to 2035 for the Asia and Pacific region using the following indicators: primary energy intensity, carbon dioxide intensity of the primary energy mix, energy self-sufficiency, affordability of electricity, and primary energy diversification.
There is growing international focus on how to support more integrated approaches to addressing climate change in ways that capture synergies and minimise the trade-offs between climate change mitigation, adaptation and development. These aims are embodied in the concept of climate compatible development (CCD).
Energy efficiency is a growing policy priority for many countries around the world. It is widely recognised as the most cost-effective and readily available means to address numerous energy-related issues, including energy security, the social and economic impacts of high energy prices and concerns about climate change.
This new paper published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights some of the dynamics of renewable energy use for heat in different markets, the status of different technologies and policy measures to efficiently promote renewable heat, and provides an outlook for the potential role of renewable heat in the medium- and long-term.
This report outlines BSR’s new strategy to mobilize its business network, global reach, industry insights, and issue expertise in support of sustained business action on climate change.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to avert potentially disastrous global climate change requires substantial redevelopment of infrastructure systems. Cities are recognized as key actors for leading such climate change mitigation efforts. We have studied the greenhouse gas inventories and underlying characteristics of 22 global cities. These cities differ in terms of their climates, income, levels of industrial activity, urban form and existing carbon intensity of electricity supply.
