Low-Carbon Development by Raffaello Cervigni Pdf

The Federal Government of Nigeria has adopted an ambitious strategy to make Nigeria the world’s 20th largest economy by 2020. Sustaining such a pace of growth will entail rapid expansion of the level of activity in key carbon-emitting sectors, such as power, oil and gas, agriculture and transport. In the absence of policies to accompany economic growth with a reduced carbon foot-print, emissions of greenhouse gases could more than double in the next two decades. This study finds that there are several options for Nigeria to achieve the development objectives of vision 20:2020 and beyond, but stabilizing emissions at 2010 levels, and with domestic benefits in the order of 2 percent of GDP. These benefits include cheaper and more diversified electricity sources; more efficient operation of the oil and gas industry; more productive and climate –resilient agriculture; and better transport services, resulting in fuel economies, better air quality, and reduced congestion. The study outlines several actions that the Federal Government could undertake to facilitate the transition towards a low carbon economy, including enhanced governance for climate action, integration of climate consideration in the Agriculture Transformation Agenda, promotion of energy efficiency programs, scale-up of low carbon technologies in power generation (such as renewables an combined cycle gas turbines), and enhance vehicle fuel efficiency.

Assessing Low-Carbon Development in Nigeria by Raffaello Cervigni Pdf

The Federal Government of Nigeria has adopted Vision 20: 2020--an ambitious strategy to make Nigeria the world's 20th largest economy by 2020. In the absence of policies to accompany economic growth in key carbon-emitting sectors with a reduced carbon footprint, emission of greenhouse gases could more than double in the next two decades. To evaluate how to achieve the objectives of Vision 20: 2020 with reduced carbon emissions, the Federal Government of Nigeria and the World Bank undertook a multiyear program of analytical work. The summary results of this program are contained in a separate book (published in the World Bank's "Directions in Development" series) entitled Low-Carbon Development: Opportunities for Nigeria, which concludes that Nigeria can achieve its development objectives, while stabilizing emissions at 2010 levels and providing domestic benefi ts on the order of 2 percent of GDP. This volume is a collection of the background technical reports on the four sectors of inquiry: agriculture and land use, oil and gas, power, and transport. It contains details on the data, methodology, and assumptions used throughout the analysis. For agriculture and land use, the study team developed an agriculture production growth model, which permits the evaluation of sector emissions in both a reference and a low-carbon scenario. The study fi nds that low-carbon practices have signifi cant potential to make the sector more productive and more climate-resilient. For the oil and gas sector, the analysis assesses the potential of accelerated phase-put of gas fl aring, reduction of leakages, and increased energy effi ciency in the operation of facilities, to both reduce the sector's emission and contribute to the industry's net revenues and growth. The analysis of the power sector shows how the country can expand power generation and broaden access to electricity while reducing associated emissions, through renewable energy, energy effi ciency, and lower-carbon technologies in thermal power generation. Finally, this analysis assesses the expected growth in CO2 emissions from on-road transport under a normal business development scenario up to the year 2035, and it identifi es actions at national and local levels that would reduce this growth, resulting in fuel economies, better air quality, and reduced congestion. Assessing Low-Carbon Development in Nigeria: An Analysis of Four Sectors outlines several actions that the Nigerian government could undertake to facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Low Carbon Development Opportunities for Nigeria by Anonim Pdf

The Federal Government of Nigeria has adopted an ambitious strategy to make Nigeria theworlds 20th largest economy by 2020. Sustaining such a pace of growth will entail rapidexpansion of activity in key carbon-emitting sectors of the economy. In the absence ofpolicies to accompany economic growth with a reduced carbon footprint, emission ofgreenhouse gases would more than double in the next two decades.By consolidating and synthesizing the results of the sector-specific, in-depth analyses, volume 1 of this effort found options for Nigeria to achieve the development objectives ofVision 20:2020 and beyond, but stabilizing emissions at 2010 levels, and with domesticbenefits in the order of 2 percent of GDP. The present study, volume 2, is a collection of thetechnical reports on the four sectors of inquiryagriculture and land use, oil and gas, power, and transportthat informed the preparation of the first volume.For agriculture and land use, the Government has set ambitious targets for increasing thedomestic agricultural production six-fold by 2020. The study analyzes the mitigation potentialof the agricultural sector within the constraint of meeting these growth targets. Benefitsinclude more productive and climate-resilient agriculture.For the oil and gas sector, the analysis evaluates how the country can continue to grow the oiland gas industry, making better use of Nigeria's gas resources, at the same time reducing thesector's carbon footprint.The analysis of the power sector shows how the country can expand power generation andbroaden access to electricity while reducing the associated emissions. This low-carbonscenario would enable Nigeria to achieve the same long-term development objectives, atlower overall cost through a more diversified mix of generation sources with a more balancedsupply across regions.Finally, this analysis assesses the expected growth in CO2 emissions from on-road transport under a normal business development scenario up to the year 2035 and identifies policy and other mitigation actions at national and local levels that would reduce this growth, resulting infuel economies, better air quality, and reduced congestion.

Prospects and Challenges of Achieving Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria. Low-Carbon Economy as Solution for Mitigating Climate Change Impacts by Omobolade Olagunju Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 85.0 - A, course: International Law and Diplomacy, language: English, abstract: This research study will focus its attention on Sustainable Development Goal number 13: "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts". This goal specifically addresses the issue of ecology, environment, the risk from fossil fuel energy, activities caused by industrialization and technological advancement in our world, which has affected global warming and by extension threat to life and the environment. The primary objective of this research study is the analysis of the prospects and challenges of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (on environment) in Nigeria through the Low Carbon Economy strategy. The questions which this research study aims to answer are: 1. How can the utilization of an alternative source of energy serve as a measure to address the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria? 2. What are the impacts of human activities on climate change in Nigeria? 3. What are the prospects of the Low Carbon Economy as a measure in addressing climate change in Nigeria? 4. What are the various challenges militating against the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria? Global warming is now a global warning. An industrialized world heavily dependent on fossil energy is extremely susceptible to the effects of climate change. In the struggle for industrialization and advancement in technology, anthropogenic activities have led to the depletion of the ozone layer which has had adverse effects on the environment. The impacts that are being felt as a result of global warming led to the search for a solution. One of the solutions proffered was the usage of Low Carbon in the Economy. This is a concept aimed at reducing the level of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere while combining the use of better and cleaner energy sources with the proficient use of

Oil Mortality in Post-Fossil Fuel Era Nigeria by Augustine Sadiq Okoh Pdf

This book provides an insight into the complexities of weaning Nigeria from its fossil fuels addiction while growing the economy on low carbon trajectory. Nigeria faces a carbon catch 22 with the proliferation of renewable energy alternatives and scale-up of electric vehicles. The dilemma Nigeria is confronted with is to grow its fossil-led economy or face the challenge of its fossil infrastructure becoming stranded assets. It is a roadmap for plotting an environmentally benign path out of the country’s economic, social and environmental crises. This book is, therefore, a valuable resource for students, Civil Society Organizations, policymakers, academics and climate change adaptation practitioners who are interested in finding an environmentally sensitive path out of Nigeria’s economic cul-de-sac fostered by the decarbonization of the global energy economy. Findings of this study will trigger a national conversation on the looming exit from fossil fuels. In doing so, accelerate the integration of renewable energy into the Nigerian national development plan while building a carbon neutral society. Lessons learnt from the handling of Nigeria’s precarious circumstance will be of immense benefit to other oil prospecting, oil producing and non-producing nations who are interested in finding an equitable way of pursuing two inversely related goals of meeting their decarbonization commitments while simultaneously growing their economies in the post-Paris era.

Energy Policies for Sustainable Development Strategies by Nnaemeka Vincent Emodi Pdf

In this book, a number of long-term energy scenarios are developed for Nigeria considering the impact of vital factors that may influence energy policies in the country’s future energy system. The energy scenarios were developed through the Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) model. The model identified the future energy demand and supply pattern using a least-cost combination of technology options while limiting the emission of greenhouse gases. The book presents four scenarios, and key parameters considered include GDP, households, population, urbanization and the growth rates of energy-intensive sectors. Further, it highlights the findings of the cost-benefit analysis, which reveal the costs of implementing selected policies and strategies in Nigeria, including those focusing on energy efficiency and fuel/technology switching. The book also discusses the application of the LEAP-OSeMOSYS Model in order to identify lowest-cost power plants for electricity generation. Some sustainable strategies that can ensure a low carbon development in Nigeria are also explored on the basis of successful country cases in relation to the Nigerian LEAP model. As such, the book will help policy makers devise energy and sustainable strategies to achieve low carbon development in Nigeria.

Technology Transfer and Innovation for Low-Carbon Development by Miria Pigato,Simon Black,Damien Dussaux,Zhimin Mao,Ryan Rafaty,Simon Touboul Pdf

Technological revolutions have increased the world’s wealth unevenly and in ways that have accelerated climate change. This report argues that achieving The Paris Agreement’s objectives would require a massive transfer of existing and commercially proven low-carbon technologies (LCT) from high-income to developing countries where the bulk of future emissions is expected to occur. This mass deployment is not only a necessity but also an opportunity: Policies to deploy LCT can help countries achieve economic and other development objectives, like improving human health, in addition to reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs). Additionally, LCT deployment offers an opportunity for countries with sufficient capabilities to benefit from participation in global value chains and produce and export LCTs. Finally, the report calls for a greater international involvement in supporting the poorest countries, which have the least access to LCT and finance and the most underdeveloped physical, technological, and institutional capabilities that are essential to benefit from technology.

Exploring a Low-Carbon Development Path for Vietnam by Pierre Audinet,Bipul Singh,Duane T. Kexel,Suphachol Suphachalasai,Pedzi Makumbe,Kristy Mayer Pdf

Bringing together a large set of data and building on two years of consultations in Vietnam with Government counterparts, research organizations, state-owned enterprises, private sector and Vietnam international development partners, the report formulates two scenarios to explore and analyze Vietnam's options up to the year 2030: a business as usual and a low carbon development scenario. Based on a thorough data modeling effort for the key carbon emitting sectors of Vietnam, the report also provides some policy guidance for the Government’s consideration. This report is also unique as it brings together and presents data on multiple sectors of Vietnam's economy, making this information available for future reference. This effort is the result of two years of collaboration with the Government of Vietnam as part of the Vietnam Low Carbon Options Assessment technical assistance. By highlighting several economic opportunities and clarifying the issues at hand, this work is a milestone in this complex debate and I believe will help all stakeholders willing to consider and responsible to design the policies and measures to address those challenges.

European Foreign Policy in a Decarbonising World by Sebastian Oberthür,Dennis Tänzler,Emily Wright,Gauri Khandekar Pdf

Contributing to the emerging literature on the geopolitical and foreign policy implications of decarbonisation and energy transition processes, this book sheds light on the future of the European Union’s (EU) external relations under decarbonisation. Under the Paris Agreement on climate change, adopted in 2015, governments are committed to phasing out the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases over the coming decades. This book addresses the many questions around this process of decarbonisation through detailed analyses of EU external relations with six fossil-fuel exporting countries: Nigeria, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Colombia, Qatar, and Canada. The authors systematically examine the six countries’ varying dependence on fossil fuels, the broader political and security context, current relations with the EU, and the potential for developing these towards decarbonisation. In doing so, they put forward a series of findings that should hold across varying circumstances and provide a steppingstone to enrich and inspire further research on foreign policy, external relations, and international relations under decarbonisation. The book also makes an important contribution to understanding the external implications of the 2019 European Green Deal. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of European environmental and climate policy, climate diplomacy, energy policy, foreign policy, and climate/energy geopolitics.

Pathways to Low-Carbon Development for the Philippines by Asian Development Bank Pdf

The Philippines currently has a low level of per capita greenhouse gas emissions. However, emission levels are growing at an increasing rate, with 4% annual growth between 2006 and 2012. The country's energy system is becoming more carbon intensive to satisfy escalating energy demand caused by strong economic growth. This study assesses how the Philippines can take a low-carbon pathway by drawing on detailed modeling of the power, residential, and transport sectors. It identifies low-carbon development options that can be deployed at approximately zero net cost to reduce energy sector greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2050. With energy use levels still low, the country has an opportunity to follow a low-carbon development trajectory—if action is taken soon.
