Download or read book The Making of the International Solar Alliance written by Vyoma Jha and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first empirical account on the making of the International Solar Alliance (ISA). Announced jointly by India and France on the first day of the Paris climate talks in 2015, the ISA was conceived as a coalition of 'solar-rich' countries located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn for optimal absorption of the sun's rays. Crucially, these 'solar-rich' countries are developing countries with poor or no energy access; witness almost three hundred sunny days in a year; have large agrarian populations; and face major gaps in the potential solar manufacturing ecosystem. In a little over two years, the ISA—led by India and backed primarily by developing countries—became a legal entity. With no perceivable competitive advantage in solar manufacturing or technologies, what explains India's relative success in bringing together countries to form this new international organization? What was the role of France in the creation of ISA? Why did India insist on a treaty structure for the new institution? Were any countries opposed to this? What are the transaction costs of bringing the 'solar rich' countries vis-à-vis the 'solar poor' countries on board? Responding to these questions, the book draws on the political economy approach to analyse the motivations for India to steer a new treaty-based international organization. It presents the empirical evidence and arguments using three frames: process, politics, and players. Ultimately, the book illustrates a new kind of Indian economic diplomacy, making the ISA the first deliberate instrument of India's foreign policy on climate change and energy.

Book excerpt: How solar could spark a clean-energy transition through transformative innovation—creative financing, revolutionary technologies, and flexible energy systems. Solar energy, once a niche application for a limited market, has become the cheapest and fastest-growing power source on earth. What's more, its potential is nearly limitless—every hour the sun beams down more energy than the world uses in a year. But in Taming the Sun, energy expert Varun Sivaram warns that the world is not yet equipped to harness erratic sunshine to meet most of its energy needs. And if solar's current surge peters out, prospects for replacing fossil fuels and averting catastrophic climate change will dim. Innovation can brighten those prospects, Sivaram explains, drawing on firsthand experience and original research spanning science, business, and government. Financial innovation is already enticing deep-pocketed investors to fund solar projects around the world, from the sunniest deserts to the poorest villages. Technological innovation could replace today's solar panels with coatings as cheap as paint and employ artificial photosynthesis to store intermittent sunshine as convenient fuels. And systemic innovation could add flexibility to the world's power grids and other energy systems so they can dependably channel the sun's unreliable energy. Unleashing all this innovation will require visionary public policy: funding researchers developing next-generation solar technologies, refashioning energy systems and economic markets, and putting together a diverse clean energy portfolio. Although solar can't power the planet by itself, it can be the centerpiece of a global clean energy revolution. A Council on Foreign Relations Book

Book Synopsis The Solar Economy by : Hermann Scheer
Download or read book The Solar Economy written by Hermann Scheer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economy and our way of life are based on the exploitation of fossil fuels, which not only threaten massive environmental and social disruption through global warming but, at present rates of consumption, will run out within decades, causing huge industrial dislocation and economic collapse. Even before then, the conflicts it causes in the Middle East and elsewhere will be frighteningly exacerbated. The alternative exists: renewable energy from renewable sources - above all, solar. Substituting renewable for fossil resources will take a new industrial revolution to avert the worst of the damage and establish a new international order. It can be done, and it can be done in time. The Solar Economy, by one of the world's most effective analysts and advocates, lays out the blueprints, showing how the political, economic and technological challenges can be met using indigenous, renewable and universally available resources, and the enormous opportunities and benefits that will flow from doing so.

This book was released on 2023-10-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, leading up to the Paris Climate Conference, India faced intense scrutiny over its role in either securing or scuttling a global climate deal. On the first day of the climate talks India and France jointly announced the International Solar Alliance (ISA), and two weeks of hectic negotiations culminated in the adoption of the Paris Agreement. In less than two years, even as multilateral climate negotiations were weakening with the United States announcing its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, the ISA - led by India and backed primarily by developing countries-became a legal entity. Vyoma Jha presents a case study of the creation of the ISA as a treaty-based international organization. Drawing on the political economy approach in the study of international law, this book identifies the politics, players, and process behind the making of the ISA. It uses mixed methods to analyse the politico-legal issues involved in the need for a new treaty-based international organization and finds that the changing political leadership in India marked a shift in domestic climate politics, particularly around solar energy. Against the backdrop of multilateral climate negotiations, the political leadership empowered India's new international rulemaking stance. Jha offers an in-depth account of the treaty-making process to argue that it marks an innovation in the structure of international organizations. The ISA is best described as 'soft law in a hard shell' because it uses the legal infrastructure of a treaty while relying on the social structure of participating actors for its future implementation. Empirical evidence suggests that three factors explain the treaty structure of the ISA: India's leadership role in the treaty-making process, the early involvement of non-state actors, and the preference of developing countries for legal form. Ultimately, the book illustrates a new kind of Indian economic diplomacy, making the ISA the first deliberate instrument of India's foreign policy on climate change and energy.

It uses mixed methods to analyze the politico-legal issues over the need for a new treaty-based international organization. The dissertations finds that the changing political leadership in India -- Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014 -- marked a shift in domestic climate politics, particularly around solar energy. Modi's vision for a new, India-led global effort on solar energy was the primary driver behind the creation of the ISA.

Book Synopsis The Solar Energy Transition by : Daniel Rich
Download or read book The Solar Energy Transition written by Daniel Rich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar energy is considered by many an attractive and practical option for America's energy future, one that is technically and commercially feasible as well as socially and environmentally desirable. Sun-generated power could meet upwards of 20 percent of U.S. energy needs by the year 2000—but only if there is a concerted national effort to use this energy option. The issues of implementation and the public and private initiatives needed to facilitate a transition to extensive use of solar energy are the focus of this volume. The solar transition is addressed from the diverse perspectives of the many necessary participants: industries and small businesses; local, state, regional, and federal governments; public utilities; policy analysts; and solar advocates. The contributors assess the extent to which solar alternatives can replace and augment other energy forms, the pace and pattern for solar commercialization, and the roles of public and private institutions in carrying out the transition. A consensus becomes apparent: Although the transition to solar energy is technically and commercially viable, its success depends on concerted public and private efforts to promote innovation and diversification in energy production and distribution and to institute major changes in public policy related to energy use.
Download or read book Harness the Sun written by Philip Warburg and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going from the inner city to the open desert, a seasoned environmental advocate looks at solar energy’s remarkable ascent and its promise for America’s future Solar power was once the domain of futurists and environmentally minded suburbanites. Today it is part of mainstream America. Scan the skyline of downtown neighborhoods, check out the rooftop of the nearest Walmart, and take a close look at your local sports arena. Chances are you’ll find solar panels in those and many other unexpected places. In Harness the Sun, Philip Warburg takes readers on a far-flung journey that explores America’s solar revolution. Beginning with his solar-powered home in New England, he introduces readers to the pioneers who are spearheading our move toward a clean energy economy. We meet the CEOs who are propelling solar power to prominence and the intrepid construction workers who scale our rooftops installing panels. We encounter the engineers who are building giant utility-scale projects in prime solar states like Nevada, Arizona, and California, and the biologists who make sure wildlife is protected at those sites. Warburg shows how solar energy has won surprising support across the political spectrum. Prominent conservatives embrace solar power as an emblem of market freedom, while environmental advocates see it as a way to reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, economic-justice activists celebrate solar’s potential to lift up low-income communities, and Native American leaders welcome the income and jobs that the industry will bring to their communities. Yet solar energy has its downsides and detractors too. Conservationists worry about the impact of large solar farms on protected animal species, and some local citizens groups resent the encroachment of solar projects on farmland and open spaces. Warburg gives voice to those at the epicenter of these conflicts and points the way to constructive solutions. Harness the Sun offers a grounded, persuasive vision of America’s energy future. It is a future fueled by clean, renewable sources of power, with solar at center stage.
