Energy and Poverty in the Context of Climate Change Empowered lives. Resilient nations. Energy and Poverty in the Context of Climate Change Background Papers Series 2012/17 Abstract Energy drives development, economic as well as human, with advanced technologies as means to achieve this. The deprivations in energy in terms of quantity as well as quality causes lack of development thereby poverty and human sufferings. This technical paper is an attempt at providing deeper insights into these aspects with a focus on the developing countries of the Asia and the Pacific region. The paper begins with emphasizing the issues of securing energy needs of poor and climate change mitigation emerging as conflicting challenges, and their significance in the Asia-Pacific region in the global context. These challenges are extremely critical in the region because it has the highest energy deprivation among the poor at present and it is fast moving towards emerging as the biggest emitter of CO2 in the future. Further, the linkages between energy, poverty, sustainable development and climate change are analysed by developing different sets of indicators and the results suggested relatively strong association among these. Finally, the possibility of providing universal access to modern energy carriers for the households of the Asia-Pacific is explored by adopting a low-carbon pathway.

It also explains the vicious circle of low productivity, health risk, environmental pollution and energy poverty and presents currently used energy poverty measures and alleviation policies and stresses the associated problems in application due to the underlying dynamics. Keywords: energy poverty alliteration; big data 1. Introduction Energy poverty is a term widely used to define living conditions under unaffordable and inaccessible energy resources. There are a number of factors that cause energy poverty in a broader sense. On the one hand, local factors such as natural resources, geographical location, local policies, household income or education level play an important role in individual energy accessibility and affordability [1,2].

  • Small-Scale Solar Power Saves Energy System Billions in Fuel, Grid and CO₂ Costs
    Greenpeace EU media briefing - EMBARGO 6AM CET 4 October 2018 4 October 2018 Report: small-scale solar power saves energy system billions in fuel, grid and CO₂ costs Payback period for household solar panels would be cut in half with fairer cost-benefit analysis Households with solar panels are saving the energy system billions in fuel and grid costs and benefiting society overall by helping cut greenhouse gases, a new report has found. An accurate assessment of costs and benefits of small-scale, locally distributed solar power would also allow households and small businesses to recover investments in solar panels twice as fast as is currently possible, according to the report by energy consultancy ecoSynergies. The new valuation of solar power that is the basis for this report – and is in line with brand new EU renewable energy rules – is based on the so-called ‘value of solar’ approach that is already used in the United States,i but has never before been applied in a European context. The report focuses on two Spanish case studies because, while Spain has some of the best conditions for solar energy in Europe, it also has some of the most restrictive laws for people and small businesses producing their own electricity with solar panels. Energy consultants ecoSynergies expect that the results of the Spanish analysis would be replicated in other European countries. The overall benefits of small-scale renewables, which mainly stem from savings on fossil fuel costs, CO₂ emission savings, avoided operating costs for fossil fuel and nuclear plants, and power grid distribution savings, are not currently recognised in remuneration schemes for distributed solar power.

  • Transforming the Greek Building Sector with the Help of the Sun November 2015 November
    SUMMARY FOR POLICY MAKERS Transforming the greek building sector with the help of the sun November 2015 November How Greece can leave the shadows and turn to the sun by implementing an ambitious energy saving program for buildings This report addresses ways of fighting energy waste and energy poverty currently faced by a large part of the population, by proposing specific policies and economic measures to be taken SUMMARY FOR POLICY MAKERS for one (1) million households and businesses over the next decade. The proposed measures involve energy retrofits of buildings (mainly households) as well as the use of renewable energy sources for covering energy needs (mainly those of poorer households). The aim is twofold. First, to boost economic competitiveness by improving energy efficiency, reducing energy costs and attracting new investments. Second, to have a socially fair growth by combating energy poverty, protecting poorer households, creating new jobs across the country, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises as well as protecting the environment and public health. The report takes the current financial situation fully into consideration, as well as the limited resources and the agreement between Greece and its lenders. The proposed measures are ready to implement and the report in the shorter term utilizes existing and available resources. These measures can be divided into three time periods: [a] The period 2016-2018, during which the Memorandum is in force in Greece and there are specific restrictions for the use of certain financing tools. [b] The period 2019-2020, during which the Greek economy is expected to improve, specifically in respect to measures already set out in the NEEAPs.

  • Nexus Between Water, Energy Poverty and Food Safety, in Urban Areas of a Developing Country: Colombian Case
    The 1st IAEE Online Conference Energy, Covid and Climate Change Nexus between Water, Energy Poverty and Food safety, in urban areas of a developing country: Colombian case. Jhon Pérez, La Salle University, Department of Electrical Engineering, [email protected] Guillermo Diaz, La Salle University, Department of Electrical Engineering, [email protected] Abstract According to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forth by the United Nations (UN), the main challenges facing humanity approaching to the year 2030 are as follows: no poverty; zero hunger; clean water and sanitation; affordable and clean energy; and climate action among others (United Nations, 2015). To achieve these goals is necessary to know the Nexus between Water, Energy and Food known in the literature as WEF Nexus. This paper attempts to establish relationships between Water (sanitation and potable water), Energy (modern cooking fuels), and Food (food scarcity). The results are based on The Quality of Life National Survey (QLNS) collected by the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE, 2017). Keywords: WEF Nexus; Quality of Life National Survey; Sustainable Development Goals. Introduction According to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forth by the United Nations (UN, 2015), the main challenges related to the development of humankind are: No poverty; Zero hunger; Clean water and Sanitation; and Affordable and Clean Energy. All these SGDs are interlinked (Hoff, 2011). The term WEF Nexus has gained importance since 2008 by the World Economic Forum (Blanke, 2008). The three-node Nexus has several approaches such as: (i) water-energy-food; (ii) water-energy-climate; (iii) land use- climate change-energy; and (iv) environment-water-climate (Al-Saidi and Elagib 2017; Dale et al., 2011; Groenfeldt, 2010).
