Energy Low Emission Development Strategies: A Regional Overview of Latin Am...Worldwatch Institute
Overall, Latin America and the Caribbean has traditionally been a world leader in the use of renewable energy sources for power generation (mainly hydro power), with important sub-regional differences, but the use of fossil fuels grew rapidly in the late 1900s.
There have been many initiatives on renewables and energy efficiency on the part of governments and local organizations, supported by multilateral development banks, UN organizations, international NGOs.
The recent development of non-traditional renewable energies (wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass) is helping meet important development goals (growth, access, affordability) with a lower impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
There are still important challenges related to investment climate and business model financing, but there are many lessons to share, both on what works and what doesn´t work.

This webinar includes an overview and demonstration of the desktop-based Geospatial Toolkit and the web-based Enterprise Geospatial Toolkit. Participants will also learn how the Geospatial Toolkit was used in Vietnam to support the development of Thanh Hoa’s Green Growth Initiative.
The Geospatial Toolkit is a desktop-based application produced for individual countries or regions that allows data visualization and guided geospatial analysis of high-level renewable energy development issues (wind, solar, and/or biomass depending on data availability). The Geospatial Toolkit is designed for use by non-geospatial professionals, but also provides access to the geospatial layers for more advanced analysis. Geospatial Toolkits have been produced for several countries/regions in Asia, and around the world.
The Geospatial Toolkit is recognized as a valuable tool providing decision makers with the ability to visualize the renewable energy resources relative to their infrastructure and conduct guided, quantitative analysis of high-level renewable energy resource potential under different scenarios. It can be used to identify areas with large amounts of renewable energy resource potential and/or few barriers to development, allowing more efficient targeting of detailed site analysis needs. The desktop version of the Toolkit is an open-source application, packaged with public data to allow widespread access to the application. Recently a web-based version, the Enterprise Geospatial Toolkit, has been developed, improving access to more spatially and temporally detailed datasets for analysis within the application and externally, improving performance, and providing access to enhanced analysis capabilities.

Caribbean Sustainable Energy Roadmap and Strategy (C-SERMS) Baseline Report a...Worldwatch Institute
From www.worldwatch.org/cserms/baseline-report.
The C-SERMS Baseline Report and Assessment aims to serve as a key planning tool to tackle existing barriers and communicate priorities that would allow for a swift transition toward sustainable energy systems in CARICOM member countries.
Suggested Priority Initiatives, Policies, Projects, and Activities range from coordinated regional fuel efficiency standards to targeted model legislation on net metering and from development of regional generation technology risk mitigation funds to country specific electric system modelling efforts. The report thereby distinguishes between actions to be taken at the regional and those at the national level, and those to be taken at both. The study also highlights three broader priority areas for future action: transportation, regional energy trade agreements, and the water-energy-food nexus.
From www.worldwatch.org/cserms/baseline-report.
Established in 1973, CARICOM is a regional organization representing 15 member state. CARICOM member states, representing a total population of over 17 million people, despite their diversity, face many shared energy challenges. Fortunately, significant renewable energy resources exist across the CARICOM region, including biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, waste-to-energy, and wind.
It’s not easy to keep track of the complex ways in which our everyday choices have an impact on a global scale. But as the world’s population surpasses 7 billion, each of our actions—positive or negative—gets multiplied. Read on to learn about five global trends from our latest publication, Vital Signs: The Trends That Are Shaping Our Future, that show that our consumption choices affect more than ourselves—they affect the environment and the lives and livelihoods of millions.
We think we understand environmental damage: pollution, water scarcity, a warming world. But these problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Deeper issues include food insecurity, financial assets drained of value by environmental damage, and a rapid rise in diseases of animal origin. These and other problems are among the underreported consequences of an unsustainable global system.
In State of the World 2015, the flagship publication of the Worldwatch Institute, experts explore hidden threats to sustainability and how to address them. Eight key issues are addressed in depth, along with the central question of how we can develop resilience to these and other shocks. With the latest edition of State of the World, the authorities at Worldwatch bring to light challenges we can no longer afford to ignore.
Growing cotton provides livelihoods for an estimated 100 million households in as many as 85 countries. But adverse global market conditions and reliance on large doses of water, fertilizer, and pesticides impose considerable social and environmental costs.
Although synthetic materials are making inroads, cotton remains by far the most important natural fiber for textiles. In 2013/14, an estimated 26.3 million tons of cotton were produced worldwide.
Several initiatives exist to improve the social and environmental conditions under which cotton is produced.
Our Plastic Addiction:Global Plastic Production Rises, Recycling Lags [Vital ...Worldwatch Institute
For more than 50 years, global production of plastic has continued to rise. Some 299 million tons of plastics were produced in 2013, representing a 4 percent increase over 2012. Recovery and recycling, however, remain insufficient, and millions of tons of plastics end up in landfills and oceans each year.
Global energy intensity, defined as worldwide total energy consumption divided by gross world product, decreased 0.19 percent in 2013. Although this may not seem impressive, considering that energy intensity increased steeply between 2008 and 2010, this small decline continues a much-needed trend toward lower energy intensity, writes Haibing Ma, China Program Manager at the Worldwatch Institute.
According to the most recent estimates, 2014 emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main contributor to global climate change, are projected to be 2.5 percent higher than 2013 levels, which translates into the release of 37 billion additional tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. As negotiators wrap up their talks at the international climate conference in Lima, Peru, there is no indication that this trend will change soon. Scientists estimate that future emissions should not exceed 1,200 billion tons of CO2, in order to keep Earth's temperature increase to no more than 2 degrees Celsius and to avoid severe and irreversible environmental effects. Yet at the current rate of emissions, this remaining “quota” would be used up in less than a generation, writes Joel Stronberg, contributing author for the Worldwatch Institute’s (www.worldwatch.org) Vital Signs Online.
Although the proportion of people experiencing chronic hunger is decreasing globally, one in nine individuals still does not get enough to eat, writes Gaelle Gourmelon, Communications and Marketing Manager at the Worldwatch Institute (www.worldwatch.org), in the latest Vital Signs Online article. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 805 million people were living with undernourishment (chronic hunger) in 2012–14, down 209 million since 1990–92.
Undernourishment is defined as an inability to take in enough calories over at least one year to meet dietary energy requirements. It can lead to undernutrition, a broader term that describes a condition caused by a deficient or imbalanced diet or by poor absorption and biological use of nutrients within the body. Undernutrition can in turn lead to impaired physical functions and has high social and economic impacts. The combined cost of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies is equivalent to US$1.4–2.1 trillion per year, or 2–3 percent of gross world product.

This presentation aims to identify the strengths and challenges related to renewable energy development in Latin America and the Caribbean and to develop recommendations to guide future IDB activity.
Worldwatch's goal is to build an energy system that is socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. Through our Sustainable Energy Roadmaps, we provide
supporting research; help government define goals, design strategy; and advise on implementation.
Advocates of nuclear energy have long been predicting its renaissance, yet this mode of producing electricity has been stalled for years. Renewable energy, by contrast, continues to expand rapidly, even if it still has a long way to go to catch up with fossil fuel power plants. The chances of a nuclear revival seem slim. Renewable energy, by contrast, appears to be on the right track. But it is clear that renewables have a long way to go before they can hope to supplant fossil fuels as the planet’s principal electricity source. The expansion of sources like wind and solar will have to become even more rapid in order to stave off climate disaster, and that in turn means that their fate cannot be left to the whims of the market alone.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Install 6,329 MW of various RE electricity generating facilities, Biofuels to displace 12.2% of transport energy demand
Vietnam
Reduce energy consumption by 3%-5% by 2010 and between 5%-8% by 2010-2015
RE Targets by 2030: 2100 MW Wind, 2400 MW Small Hydro, 400 MW biomass
20. Expected CO2 Reduction from National Targets
24% reduction in CO2 by 2030 is expected under Alternative Policy Scenario (APS), compare to Business as Usual Scenario (BA) as a result of the energy efficiency and renewable energy development action plans in National level to support regional aspiration. This is based on member countries fulfilling their current commitments to reduce the fuel consumption by end-users and power generation, as well as install more carbon free or carbon neutral generation sources, such as nuclear, biomass, wind and solar power facilities.
21. ASEAN’ Current Results
Renewable energy total installed capacity in the ASEAN increased significantly from 24,424.84 MW in 2006 to 39,097.58 MW in 2011.
Reached about 0.34 toe/million 2005 USD in 2010, Energy Intensity in 2011 back on the same level of 2005.
22. Key Findings
As member countries continue to pursue their economic goals, energy consumption and CO2 emission in ASEAN as a region will growth very fast, put a pressure on energy security and environmental stability.
If current energy (fossil fuel) production levels in the region do not increase - the region will have to source out this additional demand from outside the region, or need to tap more on its potential on renewable energies which are abundantly available through the region.
Appropriate energy efficiency and conservation programs, low-carbon technologies and increased shares of non-fossil fuels in power generation - would be needed to reduce carbon intensity and enhance energy security.
23. Next Step: Development of the 4th ASEAN Energy Outlook
APS will utilize the full potential of the renewable energy resources and EE&C action plants in the region under the energy market integration to reach the potentially maximum role of renewable energy in energy supply and reduction of Energy Intensity.
References to (i) clearly define a legal and policy framework to promote RE and EE&C into sustainable development strategy; (ii) strengthening research and development on RE and EE&C technology appropriate to the ASEAN region; (iii) continue studies on RE and EE&C market and provide funding for promotion of environmentally friendly green energy.
To be presented for the endorsement of ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting in 2015 in Malaysia.

38. Thailand’s Energy LEDS: Key Lessons Learned
•Co-benefits reveal positive aspects of GHG mitigation.
•MRV process needs cooperation among related ministries.
•Abatement costs of actions are identified.
•It is concluded among Thai stakeholders that the NAMAs action of 7-20% reduction in CO2 will be unilateral NAMAs.
•However, MRVs of such actions are required to ensure GHG reduction achievement and transparency.
•Experiences learned from pre2020 is used in development of post2020 agreement or the intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) .
39. Thailand’s Energy LEDS: Post2020
Upfront Info (for Thailand’s INDC 2030)

2.Realistic policy/actions (RE, EE, LCS/LEDS)
3.Projection methodology/modeling (AIM, MARKAL, LEAP etc.)
4.Data sources (Official Statistic Reports, Gov’t policies)
5.Sectoral approach for emission/reduction.
6.Integrated modeling will be done for the whole energy system.
7.Land-use and forestry will not be included.
8.Annual GHG reduction until 2030 will be quantified.
9.Double counting of actions will be avoided.
10.Outcome will be transparent Thailand’s INDC 2030.
40. Thailand’s Energy LEDS: Conclusions
•Thailand’s Energy LEDS will result in transformational changes in both supply side and demand side.
•To achieve peak target, Thailand needs, i) LEDS Capacity Building, ii) sustainable Feed-in Tariff scheme for renewable electricity, iii) enforcement of Energy Efficiency laws in buildings and industries, iv) co-funding of the LEDS actions.
•The peak target will not be achieved if they are not planned & implemented in the early stage. The lock-in emissions will happen to Thailand.
•In addition, M R V of LEDS actions are of necessity.
