UNEP Risø Centre, the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) and the OECD have released a report titled 'National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Baseline Scenarios: Learning from Experiences of Developing Countries.' The report intends to increase transparency and contribute to the understanding of pledges presented by UNFCCC parties with the ultimate obje

Energy‐intensive industries account for a significant part of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Industrial sectors such as cement, iron and steel, chemicals and refining represent one‐fifth of total global CO2 emissions, and the amount of CO2 they produce is likely to grow over the coming decades.

Against a backdrop of increasing emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are responsible for global climate change, the South Asia developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank have been witnessing a steady rise in fossil fuels and energy consumption and demand, keeping pace with their economic growth.

The outlook highlights the growing role of developing economies in global energy consumption, and the increasing share of non-fossil fuels in global energy supply.

India, recognising the challenge of pursuing rapid economic growth in a sustainable manner, has developed an energy efficiency scheme to govern large energy consumers. Energy efficiency measures can support India's development priorities while yielding climate co-benefits.

Updated each year, the Outlook analyzes the trends that will shape global energy supply and demand over the coming decades. This year's report reveals a number of key findings about how we use energy, how much we will need in the future and what types of fuels will meet demand.

In view of the possible adverse effects of climate change on hydro power generation in Bhutan and the imminent need to ensure energy security, the Royal Government of Bhutan recognizes the need to develop a policy and regulatory framework that promotes and enhances optimization of energy use through demand side management measures.

This bill introduced in Lok Sabha on 7 Dec 2012 focuses on reduction of targeted greenhouse gas emissions and is also to establish a National Committee on climate change and to provide for carbon budgeting and carbon trading schemes.

To assist policymakers and the energy industry with pressing forward sustainable energy systems, the World Energy Council, in collaboration with project partner Oliver Wyman, publishes the report World Energy Trilemma 2012: Time to get real – the case for sustainable energy policy.

This Energy Architecture Performance Index (EAPI) developed by World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture benchmarks and ranks 105 countries globally on how well their energy system delivers economic growth and development, environmental sustainability and energy security and access.
