Getting to Net-Zero Emissions: Lessons from Latin America and the Caribbean
All Latin America and the Caribbean countries have ratified the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to between 1.5C and 2C above pre-industrial levels. Those goals require reaching net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by around 2050 and substantial reductions of CO2 emissions by 2030. Getting to Net-Zero Emissions takes stock of the lessons learnt from the experiences of country teams implementing the ongoing IDB-led Deep Decarbonization Pathways in Latin America and the Caribbean Project and proposes approaches to developing and delivering long-term pathways to net-zero emissions by 2050. The report shows the essential role played by long-term strategies in terms of identifying...
Renewable Energy and AI for Sustainable Development
Electronic device usage has increased considerably in the past two decades. System configurations are continuously requiring upgrades; existing systems often become obsolete in a matter of 2–3 years. Green computing is the complete effective management of design, manufacture, use, and disposal, involving as little environmental impact as possible. This book intends to explore new and innovative ways of conserving energy, effective e-waste management, and renewable energy sources to harness and nurture a sustainable eco-friendly environment. This book: • Highlights innovative principles and practices using effective e-waste management and disposal • Explores artificial intelligence base...

Climate Impacts on Energy Systems
"While the energy sector is a primary target of efforts to arrest and reverse the growth of greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint of development, it is also expected to be increasingly affected by unavoidable climate consequences from the damage already induced in the biosphere. Energy services and resources, as well as seasonal demand, will be increasingly affected by changing trends, increasing variability, greater extremes and large inter-annual variations in climate parameters in some regions. All evidence suggests that adaptation is not an optional add-on but an essential reckoning on par with other business risks. Existing energy infrastructure, new infrastructure and...
Handshake, Issue number 13
Handshake: a quarterly journal on public-private partnerships, is the World Bank Group’s flagship peer-reviewed publication on PPPs. It explores the pragmatic and innovative solutions that the public and private sectors can create together to address complex global challenges. There is a huge amount of rhetoric and misconceptions surrounding PPPs. As governments in emerging markets look to address seemingly intractable infrastructure and service quality challenges to better serve their citizens, there are few places for them to find relatable, real-world examples and solutions. Handshake aims to fill this void by presenting key issues and solutions in the sector, articles and interviews with industry and academic experts, and columns from seasoned PPP professionals.
