climate change mitigation strategies developing countries
How can developing countries improve emissions mitigation?
Developing nations offer large opportunities for further emissions mitigation, but competing demands for resources may hamper progress. Developing countries can use policies to leverage human capacity, investment, and technology to capture large-scale mitigation opportunities, while simultaneously augmenting their development goals.
Which countries have a climate mitigation strategy?
This study attempts to document the climate mitigation resulting from such efforts in six key countriesBrazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa, and Turkeyand to inform policy-making aimed at further mitigation in these and other developing nations.
Can developing countries meet global climate goals?
Financial support will be critical if developing countries are to meet global climate goals, the Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Željko Komšić, said in the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.
What are the economic benefits of climate mitigation efforts?
Mitigation efforts create two avenues of economic benefit for the three countries. First, in the long term, they lower the deleterious impacts of rapid climate change on economic activity.
Range of Circumstances
Developing countries should not be considered as a monolithic group. They have different though overlapping interests, given their circumstances. Small islands, for example, have temporarily responded to natural disasters by borrowing to rebuild and protect the livelihoods of their citizens, but as the scale and intensity of climate change accelera
Evolving Perspectives
Nonetheless, the case studies suggest that attitudes and official positions are evolving. There is a new understanding that an integrated climate-and-development program can simultaneously speed up development and lower GHG emissions if implemented at scale. Investment and innovations in adaptation, resilience, nature, and emissions mitigation can
Domestic Policy Challenges
Seizing these opportunities requires strong institutions and robust national policy systems. Governments at national and sub-national levels must manage here-and-now costs already hurting their people and economies while also organizing and delivering toward a comprehensive energy transition. This transition is remarkably complex. In addition to in
The Global Financing Challenge
The case studies also draw attention to the huge challenge of finance—which we dub a “broken thread” of the international system. Most developing countries must rely on international finance to supplement their own resources, but there is far too little available. There is not enough concessional finance, which is critical for loss and damage, for
Four Key Ingredients For Progress
What can be done to trigger progress on such a large, crucial, and complex set of global challenges? In our overview chapterfor the volume, we identify four key ingredients to help drive successful action and outcomes. 1. Developing countries should help set the international agenda. Developing countries need to join forces on their international “
Looking Ahead
However helpful this edited volume turns out to be, Keys to Climate Actionamounts to only one undertaking aiming to elevate developing country perspectives in advancing a new reference point for the world’s central climate and development challenges. Further efforts are needed to refine and advance the relevant issues in the lead-up to major events
