This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si on donnait la parole aux populations pauvres des pays en développement, quels besoins en matière d'énergie identifieraient-elles comme les plus urgents ? L'éclairage électrique ? Des fourneaux de cuisine propres et modernes ? De l'électricité pour les cliniques médicales ? En s'appuyant sur une consultation approfondie d'une sélection de communautés pauvres en énergie au Bangladesh, au Kenya et au Togo, le rapport Perspectives Énergétiques des Populations Pauvres 2016 (PPEO) met en lumière les priorités en matière d'accès à l'énergie de communautés parmi les plus pauvres et les plus marginales du monde. Le rapport met en exergue, la combinaison de solutions énergétiques qui pourrait contribuer à l'amélioration de leur niveau de vie. Ces dernières années, l'accès à l'énergie a été reconnu comme un facteur essentiel du développement international et a, en conséquence, bénéficié d'une large médiatisation au niveau international, jusqu'à être intégré aux Objectifs de Développement Durable du PNUD en 2015. Toutefois, la grande majorité des programmes mis en oeuvre jusqu'à ce jour se sont avérés inadéquats. C'est pourquoi plus de 2 milliards de personnes n'ont toujours aucun accès à l'énergie ou ne bénéficient toujours pas de services énergétiques adaptés, sûrs, fiables et abordables. Si cette situation n'est pas remise en cause, les perspectives resteront moroses pour les populations pauvres et pour les aspirations mondiales à universaliser l'accès à l'énergie d'ici 2030. Pour remédier à cette injustice, le rapport PEPP 2016 propose un cadre alternatif en matière de planification énergétique nationale, qui intègre les besoins et les priorités exprimés par les populations pauvres en énergie. En explorant la planification de l'accès à l'énergie de manière ascendante, il offre aux décideurs nationaux une occasion inespérée pour atteindre les objectifs nationaux en matière d'accès à l'énergie de façon plus rapide, plus abordable et plus durable qu'en suivant le statu quo. Cette édition est la première d'un nouvel ensemble de trois rapports PEPP qui s'appuient sur le cadre d'Accès total à l'énergie développé dans les éditions précédentes et illustrent comment celui-ci peut être mis en oeuvre en termes de planification (la présente édition), de financement (2017) et de mise en oeuvre à l'échelle (2018).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'accès à l'énergie pour tous a été consacré dans le Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030 (ODD7) et l'Accord de Paris sur le changement climatique; les bienfaits qu'il libère du point de vue du bien-être et du développement sont désormais largement reconnus. Néanmoins, il subsiste un manque d'appréciation des meilleures méthodes pour donner accès à grande échelle à l'électricité et à la cuisson propre - et nombreuses sont les populations les plus marginalisées qui sont toujours laissées de côté. Pour accélérer les progrès vers l'atteinte de nos objectifs mondiaux, il sera essentiel d'identifier les éléments les plus efficaces des succès rencontrés, de tirer des enseignements de ces programmes et de les adapter à des contextes complexes et variés. En s'appuyant sur les PPEO 2016 (planification) et les PPEO 2017 (financement), les Perspectives énergétiques des populations pauvres 2018 examinent six études de cas portant sur les secteurs de la cuisson propre, l'électricité décentralisée ou l'extension du réseau afin d'explorer comment atteindre un accès à l'énergie à grande échelle d'une manière inclusive. Le rapport montre qu'il faut une panoplie d'interventions d'accès à l'énergie pour atteindre l'ODD7 et il encourage des programmes holistiques pour parvenir à un déploiement à grande échelle sur l'ensemble des éléments que constituent la demande, l'offre, les politiques et le financement. Le monde est mal parti pour atteindre un accès universel à l'énergie d'ici à 2030 - mais nous avons encore une chance de changer le cap vers lequel nous nous dirigeons. Les PPEO 2018 illustrent comment notre communauté mondiale peut déployer un accès à l'énergie à grande échelle, tout en ne laissant vraiment personne de côté.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les PPEO 2019 sont l'aboutissement de cinq années de recherches pour explorer par quels moyens donner corps aux types de services énergétiques qui permettraient aux populations pauvres en énergie de prospérer. Le rapport synthétise et met à jour les messages et recommandations clés en matière de planification (PPEO 2016), de financement (PPEO 2017) et de fourniture de l'accès à l'énergie à grande échelle, tout en ne laissant personne de côté (PPEO 2018). Il s'appuie sur des recherches primaires issues de consultations avec des communautés du Bangladesh, du Kenya et du Togo et sur une analyse des programmes d'accès à l'énergie à travers l'Amérique latine, l'Asie du Sud et l'Afrique subsaharienne ; il examine comment déployer aux niveaux national et mondial l'accès à l'énergie obtenu par des interventions de petite envergure pour faire en sorte que tout le monde puisse profiter du pouvoir transformationnel de l'énergie.En effet, alors qu'il reste tout juste dix ans avant la date butoir de 2030 fixée pour les objectifs de développement durable, l'accès universel à l'énergie demeure hors de portée. La mise à l'échelle de l'accès nécessitera une hausse massive et un rééquilibrage des investissements, des modèles économiques innovants, une évolution des cadres politiques et des capacités institutionnelles, une prise de conscience affûtée et de meilleures solutions techniques. Les PPEO 2019 explorent les progrès accomplis à ce jour avec chacun de ces éléments et considèrent ce qui reste à faire pour veiller à ne laisser vraiment personne de côté dans notre quête de l'ODD7.

Book Synopsis Decarbonizing Development by : Marianne Fay
Download or read book Decarbonizing Development written by Marianne Fay and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science is unequivocal: stabilizing climate change implies bringing net carbon emissions to zero. This must be done by 2100 if we are to keep climate change anywhere near the 2oC warming that world leaders have set as the maximum acceptable limit. Decarbonizing Development: Three Steps to a Zero-Carbon Future looks at what it would take to decarbonize the world economy by 2100 in a way that is compatible with countries' broader development goals. Here is what needs to be done: -Act early with an eye on the end-goal. To best achieve a given reduction in emissions in 2030 depends on whether this is the final target or a step towards zero net emissions. -Go beyond prices with a policy package that triggers changes in investment patterns, technologies and behaviors. Carbon pricing is necessary for an efficient transition toward decarbonization. It is an efficient way to raise revenue, which can be used to support poverty reduction or reduce other taxes. Policymakers need to adopt measures that trigger the required changes in investment patterns, behaviors, and technologies - and if carbon pricing is temporarily impossible, use these measures as a substitute. -Mind the political economy and smooth the transition for those who stand to be most affected. Reforms live or die based on the political economy. A climate policy package must be attractive to a majority of voters and avoid impacts that appear unfair or are concentrated on a region, sector or community. Reforms have to smooth the transition for those who stand to be affected, by protecting vulnerable people but also sometimes compensating powerful lobbies.
Book Synopsis The Globalization of Inequality by : François Bourguignon
Download or read book The Globalization of Inequality written by François Bourguignon and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why national and international equality matter and what we can do to ensure a fairer world In The Globalization of Inequality, distinguished economist and policymaker François Bourguignon examines the complex and paradoxical links between a vibrant world economy that has raised the living standard of over half a billion people in emerging nations such as China, India, and Brazil, and the exponentially increasing inequality within countries. Exploring globalization's role in the evolution of inequality, Bourguignon takes an original and truly international approach to the decrease in inequality between nations, the increase in inequality within nations, and the policies that might moderate inequality’s negative effects. Demonstrating that in a globalized world it becomes harder to separate out the factors leading to domestic or international inequality, Bourguignon examines each trend through a variety of sources, and looks at how these inequalities sometimes balance each other out or reinforce one another. Factoring in the most recent economic crisis, Bourguignon investigates why inequality in some countries has dropped back to levels that have not existed for several decades, and he asks if these should be considered in the context of globalization or if they are in fact specific to individual nations. Ultimately, Bourguignon argues that it will be up to countries in the developed and developing world to implement better policies, even though globalization limits the scope for some potential redistributive instruments. An informed and original contribution to the current debates about inequality, this book will be essential reading for anyone who is interested in the future of the world economy.
Download or read book Energy Transitions written by Vaclav Smil and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold and controversial argument shows why energy transitions are inherently complex and prolonged affairs, and how ignoring this fact raises unrealistic expectations that the United States and other global economies can be weaned quickly from a primary dependency on fossil fuels. Energy transitions are fundamental processes behind the evolution of human societies: they both drive and are driven by technical, economic, and social changes. In a bold and provocative argument, Energy Transitions: History, Requirements, Prospects describes the history of modern society's dependence on fossil fuels and the prospects for the transition to a nonfossil world. Vaclav Smil, who has published more on various aspects of energy than any working scientist, makes it clear that this transition will not be accomplished easily, and that it cannot be accomplished within the timetables established by the Obama administration. The book begins with a survey of the basic properties of modern energy systems. It then offers detailed explanations of universal patterns of energy transitions, the peculiarities of changing energy use in the world's leading economies, and the coming shifts from fossil fuels to renewable conversions. Specific cases of these transitions are analyzed for eight of the world's leading energy consumers. The author closes with perspectives on the nature and pace of the coming energy transition to renewable conversions.
Book Synopsis The Transition Handbook by : Rob Hopkins
Download or read book The Transition Handbook written by Rob Hopkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Move from feeling anxious about the oil crisis to developing a positive visions and taking traction action to create a more self-reliant existence with this ground-breaking book. We live in an oil-dependent world, and have become reliant in a very short space of time, using vast reserves of oil in the process – and without planning for when the supply is not so plentiful. Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when the oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but the reality may not be as bad as we think. The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead could have a positive effect. Written by permaculture expert Rob Hopkins, he discusses the possibility of a rebirth of local communities, which will generate their own fuel, food and housing. These will encourage the development of local currencies, to keep money in the local area, and unleash a local 'skilling-up', so that people have more control over their lives. The growth in interest in the Transition model continues to be exponential. There are now more than 35 formal Transition Initiatives in the UK, including towns, cities, islands, villages and peninsulas, with more joining as the idea takes off. With little proactivity at government level, communities are taking matters into their own hands and acting locally. If your community has not yet become a Transition Initiative, this upbeat guide, filled with beautiful black and white photographs, offers you the tools to get started. The Transition Handbook is the perfect manual to guide communities, as they begin this 'energy descent' journey.
Download or read book An Uncertain Glory written by Jean Drèze and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-11 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why India's problems won't be solved by rapid economic growth alone When India became independent in 1947 after two centuries of colonial rule, it immediately adopted a firmly democratic political system, with multiple parties, freedom of speech, and extensive political rights. The famines of the British era disappeared, and steady economic growth replaced the economic stagnation of the Raj. The growth of the Indian economy quickened further over the last three decades and became the second fastest among large economies. Despite a recent dip, it is still one of the highest in the world. Maintaining rapid as well as environmentally sustainable growth remains an important and achievable goal for India. In An Uncertain Glory, two of India's leading economists argue that the country's main problems lie in the lack of attention paid to the essential needs of the people, especially of the poor, and often of women. There have been major failures both to foster participatory growth and to make good use of the public resources generated by economic growth to enhance people's living conditions. There is also a continued inadequacy of social services such as schooling and medical care as well as of physical services such as safe water, electricity, drainage, transportation, and sanitation. In the long run, even the feasibility of high economic growth is threatened by the underdevelopment of social and physical infrastructure and the neglect of human capabilities, in contrast with the Asian approach of simultaneous pursuit of economic growth and human development, as pioneered by Japan, South Korea, and China. In a democratic system, which India has great reason to value, addressing these failures requires not only significant policy rethinking by the government, but also a clearer public understanding of the abysmal extent of social and economic deprivations in the country. The deep inequalities in Indian society tend to constrict public discussion, confining it largely to the lives and concerns of the relatively affluent. Drèze and Sen present a powerful analysis of these deprivations and inequalities as well as the possibility of change through democratic practice.

Book Synopsis Economics of Natural Resources and the Environment by : David W. Pearce
Download or read book Economics of Natural Resources and the Environment written by David W. Pearce and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1989-12-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics of Natural Resources and the Environment brings together the approaches of natural resource economics and environmental economics to provide a comprhensive overview of the economics of national international and global environmental problems. A unifying theme throuhhout the book is the concept of "sustainable development" defined as "maximizing the net benefits of economic development while maintaining the services and quality of natural resources over time." The authors emphasize the continuing importance of a mainstream approach. They stress "economic efficiency—getting the most welfare out of a given endowment of resources." And they address the larger moral issues as well. Chapter topics include the historical development of environmental economics, environmental ethics, and pollution control policy in "free" mixed market and centrally planned economies. Other current issues seen from an economic perspective include destruction of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, policy weapons in the fight against pollution, and the special problems of the third world. Economics of Natural Resources and the Environment offers a thorough review and synthesis of the major work of the field's senior scholars. It will be of value not only to students of natural resource economics, environmental economics, geography, and environmental sciences but also to all with an interest in economic appraoches to environmental issues.
