Low Carbon Society: Scenario and Modeling for India

LCS is a “Development Pathway” which:

  • a. facilitates achievement of the national socio-

economic objectives and targets,

  • b. while contributing to the achievement of global
  • bjectives and targets for stabilization of

greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere,

  • c. in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.

What is a “LCS” in the Developing Country context?

Low Carbon Society: Scenario and Modeling for India

“For developing countries, the ‘good news’ is that their environment and natural resources policies are often so bad that there are reforms which would be both good for the economy and good for the environment.”

Joseph Stiglitz, in Foreword to “Economic Development and Environmental Sustainability: New Policy Options”

  • Eds. Lopez and Toman, Oxford University press, 2006

Key areas for interventions:

Demographics

Lower Population Growth (e.g. investment in women’s education) Higher investment in social infrastructures (e.g. health, education)

Conservation

Efficient technology, Substitutions, Recycling, Pricing, Dematerialization

City Planning

Architecture/ Building Codes; Land use policies; Public Transport

Infrastructure choices R&D, technology transfer and selective technology push Incentives for environmental industry Influencing consumer preferences/ behavior

Low Carbon Society: Scenario and Modeling for India

How sustainable development policies influence LCS? E.g. Education, Employment and Productivity nexus

Policies for public private partnership higher (public and private)

investments in education Increases supply of education services

Incentives for education for women and socially and economically backward

sections enhances demand for education

Women’s education reduces fertility rates & this together with family planning

campaigns lead to lower population (than in reference & some others cases)

The increases in labor participation rates and enhanced skill profiles maintains

labor supply and higher productivity in next few decades

Rural development policies (including education, employment, infrastructure

push and reduced risk for investments) break through the rural/ urban dualism

(Likewise for other drivers, the sustainability scenario story differ)

Mitigation through “dematerialization” in LCS Scenario

  • Dematerialization in LCS vis-à-vis Base Scenario is

contributed by multiple direct and indirect policies, most of which belong to the policy packages relating to “sustainable development”.

  • Change in building materials and design contribute

significantly to dematerialization and energy efficiency in construction

  • In addition, three other key contributors to

mitigation through dematerialization are:

Mitigation (MT CO2) in 2050

Material Substitutions 207 Reduced Consumption 173 Recycling 90

  • Energy and carbon intensive materials - of which

the substitutions and reduced consumption contribute most to mitigation in the LCS scenario - are steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizer and paper.

  • Recycling reduces the energy and carbon intensity
  • f the materials, besides delivering environmental

co-benefits.

Conclusions: LCS Scenario

LCS in Developing Countries Context

– LCS actions are primarily development centric and facilitate achieving national sustainable development and global environmental objectives simultaneously and cost-effectively

LCS Scenarios in Developing Countries Context

– LCS scenario storyline for developing countries rests on innovations, co-benefits and sustainability – The key issues in near-term is to gain co-benefits and avoid lock-ins and in the long-run to transit to a sustainable development pathway

LCS Modeling and Analysis for India

– India will have low per capita emissions throughout the century – Significant opportunities exist in India (and South-Asia) for aligning sustainable development and climate actions which can deliver co-benefits in the short-term and avoid lock-ins in the long-term

LCS Roadmap for Developing Countries

– Mainstream climate change and development through Sustainable Development

  • bjectives and targets

– LCS Roadmap will include adaptation measures
