Developing countries have to find a new way of growing.
Sixteen hundred million people in the world have no electricity today, but energy demand in developing countries is set to more than treble by 2030. That’s why at the same time that industrialised countries need to cut emissions, developing countries need to adopt low-carbon technologies to grow in a cleaner, greener way.
WHAT IS LOW–CARBON DEVELOPMENT?
In brief it means using less carbon for growth such as:
Ø Using less energy, improving the efficiency with which energy is used and moving to low or zero-carbon energy sources.
Ø Protecting and promoting natural resources that store carbon (Such as forests and land).
Ø Designing, disseminating and deploying low or zero-carbon technologies and business models.
Ø Pursing policies and incentives which discourage carbon intensive practices and behaviours.
