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.
Towards cleaner energy - a collaborative world effortsSampe Purba
Presented in 3rd Asian Pollution Control and Sustainable Energy, May 2021
The bottom line of the messages are : Commitment to cleaner energy should be a real one, by taking into account each country's specific circumstances. One who polluted more, should take more responsibility. Carbon trading mechanism is somewhat more like a tactical trap by polluter producers and huge energy consumers at the expense of conserving O2 countries. This kind of platform may lead to vicious circle of atmosphere pollution

Presentation- Fourth meeting of the Task Force on Climate Change Adaptation - Data and analytics infrastructure adaptation, Jim Hall, University of Oxford
During this webinar, Professor Bert B. Brunekreef presented a recent report to the EU Parliament entitled ‘Air pollution and Covid-19’. Air pollution is a major contributor to death and disease worldwide, on a par with active smoking and unhealthy diets. Air pollution is known to increase the risk of infections by damaging epithelial barriers and decreasing immune responses. It seems likely that air pollution may also contribute to the incidence, severity and case-fatality of COVID-19. The spread of COVID-19 has been so dynamic, however, that it has been very difficult so far to establish clear quantitative links. Air pollution may also influence social inequalities through increased exposure in poor neighbourhoods and increased health damage in populations in poor health, poor nutritional status etc. Such relations are not straightforward, though, and may be seen in unexpected directions (rich folks living in gentrified but still more polluted inner cities, poor folks living in relatively clean depressed rural areas, etc.). The presentation focused on air pollution and health in general, and on COVID-19 in particular, in the context of environmental justice.
This webinar was organised by the OECD as part of a series of webinars that aim to explore the evidence base and carve a comprehensive overview of the COVID-inequality nexus in a number of areas including: income, spatial inequality, ethnicity and migration, labour, gender, child and education, mental health, environment and more.

More than one-quarter of the world’s population lacks access to clean electricity, while about 2.7 billion people
are forced to spend disproportionate amounts of their time and resources on traditional biomass for cooking and
heating. Where modern energy services are unavailable, people resort to expensive and unsustainable alternatives,
which can exacerbate energy insecurity and leave communities more vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
Increasing access to clean, reliable and affordable energy would reduce poverty and accelerate progress toward
the Millennium Development Goals. Providing reliable and efficient clean energy to the rural and urban poor can
significantly reduce CO 2 emissions, boost productive and income-generating activities and reduce household
expenditures for costly and non-environmentally friendly fuels such as kerosene and diesel. Thanks to recent technological developments, efforts to expand access to clean energy now depend less on technology and more on
financing arrangements, backed by a policy environment that is focused on serving the poor.
The Sustainable Energy for All initiative, recently launched by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, draws global
attention to the importance of energy for sustainable development and poverty alleviation, and calls for specific
commitments from the private sector and national governments. The goal is to meet three objectives by 2030:
ensuring universal access to modern energy services; doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and
doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
In response, the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) is partnering with the United Nations Development
Programme (UN DP) on CleanStart, a programme to help poor households and micro-entrepreneurs access financing
from microfinance institutions for low-cost clean energy. Microfinance institutions, which by definition target
low-income clients, are well placed to provide the products and services micro-entrepreneurs need to pursue clean
energy opportunities.
CleanStart promotes appropriate financing arrangements, supports quality assurance measures for end users, and
addresses key gaps in energy value chains to contribute to a mutually beneficial cycle of investment and building
awareness, as well as create a new market segment with higher returns for participating institutions. CleanStart
aims to help lift at least 2.5 million people out of energy poverty by 2017 and to establish a viable concept for a
much wider uptake.
This publication shares the experience of UNC DF and UN DP in designing the CleanStart approach, one of the latest
endeavours of our respective work in Financial Inclusion and Energy Access for All. It is hoped that by jointly
leveraging our respective strengths and combining resources, we can help make the goal of universal access to modern energy services for all a reality.
The Global NDC Conference 2017:
integrated governance, finance and
transparency for delivering climate
goals took place in Berlin, Germany,
from 2-6 May 2017.
The conference was jointly organized by the GIZ Support
Project for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement
(SPA) and the UNDP Low Emission Capacity Building
(LECB) Programme for the IKI NDC Support Cluster,
and the Low Emission Development Strategies Global
Partnership (LEDS GP). More than 250 participants from
80 countries and several international organizations
shared their perspectives and experiences in the themes
covered by the conference. They exchanged good
practices and lessons on strategies for countries to
advance low carbon resilient development through the
implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions
(NDCs), built peer-networks, engaged with the private
sector and identified gaps and opportunities for support
to explore further action.

United Nations General Assembly Global stocktaking marking the completion of ...Christina Parmionova
The goal of the global stocktaking is to review progress achieved at the end of the UN
Decade of Sustainable Energy for All, 2014-2024, and to raise ambition and accelerate
action towards attaining SDG 7 by catalysing innovative solutions, investments and multistakeholder partnerships.
In this context, key questions to be addressed include:
• How can ambitions be further increased and implementation be further accelerated?
• How can multi-stakeholder partnerships be scaled up?
• What will be the appropriate institutional arrangements for continuing to advance
international cooperation on energy beyond the UN Decade of Sustainable Energy
for All?
