From the United Nations Foundation Newsletter ­ June 2016 From the United Nations Foundation Dear Friends, We all focus a lot on the billion+ people around the world who still lack access to electricity as we should! But sometimes it’s good to remind ourselves how far we’ve come over the past few years. I was struck by the progress that’s been made at the June 1 EnergyAccessX event in San Francisco a Clean Energy Ministerial parallel event on decentralized energy solutions organized by Power for All, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Global LEAP program, the UK’s Department for International Development, and ClimateWorks Foundation. The event attracted more than 100 entrepreneurs, thought leaders, technologists, designers, and policy experts from around the world for a dynamic and sophisticated discussion about how to collectively scale clean energy access. Topics ranged from the radical new business models being employed, to the disruptive force of decentralized clean energy technologies, to the creative new policies that are emerging in many different settings (for a more detailed description of the event click here). When the UN Foundation first launched the Energy Access Practitioner Network in 2011, the international policy community focused very little on the potential for electricity to transform the lives of poor people around the world. What’s more, energy access wasn’t even on the technology or finance communities’ radar. At the time we had to work hard to connect and convene the disparate actors working on small­scale decentralized clean energy access around the globe. Today the situation is remarkably different. Read More>> With best regards, Ryan Hobert Senior Director, Energy & Climate United Nations Foundation 2015­16 Global LEAP Award Winners Announced at CEM7 The Clean Energy Ministerial has announced the winners of the 2015­16 Global LEAP Awards, an international competition that identifies and promotes the world’s best, most energy­efficient off­grid appliances. This round of the Global LEAP Awards features competitions for televisions and fans that are designed for use with off­grid solar energy systems. This year, Practitioner Network member NIWA won Global LEAP Awards in the large television, small television, pedestal fan, medium table fan, and small table fan categories. Practitioner Network member d.light won the Award in the medium television category. Ashden Awards Winners Announced Established in 2001, the Ashden Awards are a globally recognized measure for excellence in the field of green energy. Winners are selected through detailed applications as well as through visits from Ashden to review applicants’ work and meet project representatives. The culmination of the process is the Ashden Awards Ceremony in London, where prizes are presented to winners from across the globe to help further their work. This year’s winners include Practitioner Network members Frontier Markets, Greenlight Planet, and SunFunder. UN Secretary­General Speaks at EU Development Days, Sustainable Energy for All United Nations Secretary­General Ban Ki­moon addressed the opening ceremony of the European Development Days in Brussels on June 15 an annual two­day forum organized by the European Commission bringing together the development community to share ideas and experiences. The Secretary­General said the focus of this year’s meeting on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was timely and influential, given that the meetings have fostered partnership and innovation for a better future for the past 10 years. 2016 UN Energy Grant on "Powering the Future We Want", Deadline July 15 PACEsetter second funding round now open, Deadline August 12 Ennovent seeks partnerships to impact low­income markets in Kenya and East Africa Founder & CEO of Global Cycle Solutions wins the 2016 C3E International Award EarthSpark International Celebrates First Anniversary of Their Haiti Micro­grid SES and SolarKiosk Bring Power and Internet to Jordanian Refugee Camp SolarNow Receives US$2 Million Loan to Accelerate Distribution of Solar Home Systems in Uganda d.light Shares Recent Impact Data ALER Joins the Practitioner Network GSMA’s M4D Utilities Program Yields Case Studies by Practitioner Network Members New Version of IRENA’s Global Atlas for Renewable Energy Now Available IRENA launched a new version of the Global Atlas for Renewable Energy, the online renewable energy mapping platform. For the first time, the platform allows users to download resource data for offline analysis, and to print and export map images. With these enhancements, the Global Atlas now offers a complete suite of services to support renewable resource mapping and assessment, including an online GIS interface, datasets for five renewable energy technologies that cover every country in the world, online analysis tools, and the ability to export data and maps in several different formats. REN21 Microsite for the Latest Data on Renewables The Renewables 2016 Global Status Report (GSR) is now available via a microsite: www.ren21.net/gsr­ online. Here the full GSR can be read online; all references are available and linked. The site has been designed so that users with low or poor connectivity can consult the report directly without having to download any items. Practical Action Launches a New Mobile App Practical Action has recently launched a new app called the “Practical Answers”. This app will enable development practitioners to access more than 2000 practical “how to” guides on a range of themes including agriculture, construction, disaster mitigation response and recovery, energy, environment and adaptation to climate change, water, and sanitation. Download the app from the Apple store or the Google Play Store.

  • Legal Regulation of Aircraft Engine Emissions in the Age of Climate Change
    Legal Regulation of Aircraft Engine Emissions in the Age of Climate Change by Jin Liu A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2011 Faculty of Laws UCL 1 I, Jin Liu confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _____________________________________ Jin Liu 2 Abstract Although the contribution of international civil aviation to climate change seems small (with a global share of just 3.5 percent of emissions of CO 2), the projected growth in air traffic means that it is highly significant. There is thus an urgent need to explore legal regulations for limiting and/or reducing the adverse impacts of aircraft emissions on the environment. This thesis examines the progress which has been made on international aviation emissions abatement and provides an analysis of the reasons for delay. It concludes that the contribution of aviation to climate change is a multi-scalar problem and as such neither conventional top-down international legal regimes, nor any single regulatory instrument can solve it. The research question for this thesis is how to break the deadlock of conventional legal approaches and overcome the barriers to international aviation greenhouse gas emissions abatement. New governance theory provides the theory within which the future of aviation emissions regulation has been explored. Drawing on the scholarly literature on new governance, this thesis argues for a multi-scalar regulatory architecture which simultaneously engages multi-level governance, and a multi-party and multi-instrument approach to the problem.
