The Power of the Mine
The mining industry could play a key role in Africa s energy sector, since it requires power in large quantity and reliable quality to run its processes. The integration of mining with power system development, with appropriate risk mitigation mechanisms, could bring a win-win solution to utilities, mines, and people at large.
Low-Carbon Development for Mexico
To reduce the risk of climate change impacts it is necessary for the world to lower the carbon intensity of economic development. 'Low-Carbon Development for Mexico' estimates the net costs, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions, and investment that would be needed to achieve a low-carbon scenario in Mexico to the year 2030. Among the key findings of the study are the following: Energy efficiency. Improving energy end-use efficiency in the industrial, residential, and public sectors is the least-cost option for reducing carbon emissions and can be achieved by accelerating current Mexican programs and policies. Supply efficiency and renewable energy. Mexico can lower the carbon intensity o...
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.
FYR Macedonia Green Growth Country Assessment
This green growth country assessment for FYR Macedonia defines and assesses the economic costs and benefits of a shift to greener growth for FYR Macedonia, with a focus on climate action. Multi-sector analytic work tied together by macroeconomic modeling generated a detailed green growth path to 2050. While addressing today's economic challenges, policymakers need to keep the long-term in mind, both the likely impact of a changing climate on water, agriculture, and infrastructure and growing obligations to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This consideration is particularly important for decisions on long-lived infrastructure such as power supply, irrigation, or urban streets, water distrib...
Climate Change Policy in North America
Climate Change Policy in North America is the first book to examine how cooperation respecting climate change can emerge within decentralized governance arrangements.
Climate Change Mitigation and International Development Cooperation
This is a companion book to Earthscan’s 2010 book Climate Change Adaptation and International Development. This book consists of summarised case studies looking at climate change mitigation specifically in Asia, the region producing the most greenhouse gas emissions. It examines international development from the perspective of climate change mitigation and looks at how international communities and donors support developing nations by funding, technical assistance and capacity building.
Climate Change Mitigation in Developing Countries
Recommendations and discussion on the reform of the CDM invoke debate on the future of this policy in developing countries, which is vital material for both policymakers and international institutions introducing similar instruments. Students and resea

Independent Power Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa
Inadequate electricity services pose a major impediment to reducing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Simply put, Africa does not have enough power. Despite the abundant low-carbon and low-cost energy resources available to Sub-Saharan Africa, the region s entire installed electricity capacity, at a little over 80 GW, is equivalent to that of the Republic of Korea. Looking ahead, Sub-Saharan Africa will need to ramp-up its power generation capacity substantially. The investment needed to meet this goal largely exceeds African countries already stretched public finances. Increasing private investment is critical to help expand and improve electricity supply...
