(…) Climate change will have a significant impact on the BRICS. Conversely, the expected impact of the BRICS on climate change is considerable. The size and rate of growth of the BRICS’s economies, of their energy demand, of their energy imports (for instance, in the case of China and India), and of their atmospheric emissions of various types make these countries essential major partners in any regional or global discussions relating to climate change or the production and consumption of energy…
This WWF/WRI report documents the challenges and solutions to scaling up renewable energy in China, India, Germany, Morocco, Philippines, South Africa and Spain.
TERI releases the ‘TERI Environmental Survey 2013’, which focuses on overall environment, air quality, water quality, waste and waste management, climate change, and forest/green cover-in the six most populous urban agglomerations (UAs) in India-Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai.
This report reviews national approaches to preparing baseline scenarios of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. It does so by describing and comparing in non-technical language existing practices and choices made by ten developing countries – Brazil, China, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam…
In this report, we offer an overview of policy issues relevant to climate change across the world that we hope will allow policymakers, analysts, advocates, and interested people of all stripes begin to see how the policy challenges of climate change fit together at the national and transnational level…
This WRI report draws on the experiences of six developing countries to examine how public climate finance can help meet the significant investment needs of developing countries by creating attractive conditions for scaled-up investment in low-carbon energy
This paper presents a modeling comparison project on how the 2°C climate target could affect economic and energy systems development in China and India
To help facilitate the deployment of smart grids, the World Energy Council (WEC) has put together this report to shed light on the current status of smart grids and the financing mechanisms for their development. The report aims to serve as a compendium of best practice examples of successful smart grid development in different countries (India, Japan, China, South Korea, Brazil, Europe and North America) and the factors contributing to their success with a special focus on funding mechanisms.
The World bank study aims to facilitate the development of a policy framework for promoting climate-friendly investment in South Asia. A major output of the study is the piloting of the Climate Investment Readiness Index, a tool for evaluating the enabling environment for private sector investment in different countries… (© IISD)
This WRI paper examines the development of the solar PV and wind industries across China, Germany, India, Japan, and the United States from 2001–2011.
L’Inde déclare mener une transition profonde vers une électricité faible en carbone, en doublant ses efforts dans les domaines des énergies renouvelables et de l’efficacité énergétique. Force est de contacter, toutefois, des paradoxes dans la politique menée, aux niveaux du nombre et du rythme de mise en œuvre des mesures dans les domaines prioritaires. Cette étude de l’AFD analyse ces paradoxes, sur la base de nombreux entretiens, d’analyses documentaires et d’observations politiques.
En Inde, 70% de l’électricité est produite à base de charbon; le secteur agricole en consomme un quart pour l’extraction d’eau souterraine à des fins d’irrigation. Améliorer l’efficacité énergétique de l’agriculture indienne est donc une priorité pour la planète. Pourtant, la situation est rendue extrêmement complexe, par la politique de “Free Power” menée en direction des fermiers, profondément ancrée depuis la “Révolution verte” des années 1970, et aujourd’hui vivement critiquée par de nombreux technocrates indiens et internationaux. Selon eux, le “Free Power” est la seule cause de l’inefficacité économique. Les auteurs de cette étude, fruit d’enquêtes menées dans quatre Etats indiens, contestent ce point de vue : si le “free power” est une contrainte, il est essentiel de s’en accommoder, plutôt que de le considérer comme un problème à éradiquer.
In this ESMAP report, eight case studies from India, Brazil, Colombia and Bangladesh demonstrate innovative, successful approaches to delivery of energy services to the urban and peri-urban poor.
The book examine India as an example of an emerging economy major polluter, which can potentially both aid or obstruct the fight against climate change. It analyses the role of the BASIC (Brazil, South Africa, India, China) grouping and the short-term calculations of industrialised nations in the climate talks.
