The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Cleaner Energy Cooler Climate: Developing Sustainable Energy Solutions for South Africa by Harald Winkler Illustrates how a development-focused approach to energy and climate policy might work in South Africa. This book also explores the question of whether there is a locally sustainable path of energy development in the South African residential and electricity sectors that also reduces Green House Gas emissions. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Providing an innovative and strategic approach to climate policy, this reference confronts the critical issues surrounding a sustainable future for South Africa, a growing country that is attempting to balance increasing energy demands with protecting the environment. Utilizing local-development objectives as its starting point, this overview offers a nuanced examination of where the synergies and trade-offs lie, clarifying the imperative of considering long-term implications when meeting short-term needs. Through a detailed discussion of energy modeling, sustainable-development indicators, and policy analysis, this survey builds a detailed case study to illustrate the benefits of a development-focused approach to energy and climate policy.

For South Africa, finding a policy approach which balances the increasing demand for energy with the need for sustainability, equity and climate change mitigation is a particular challenge. Contrary to prevailing views, developing countries such as South Africa, contribute much to curb the build-up of the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global climate change.

For South Africa, finding a policy approach which balances the increasing demand for energy with the need for sustainability, equity and climate change mitigation is a particular challenge. This book provides an innovative and strategic approach to climate policy, with local development objectives as its starting point.Through energy modelling, indicators of sustainable development and policy analysis, Harald Winkler builds a rich and detailed case study illustrating how a development-focused approach to energy and climate policy might work in South Africa.An energy researcher, IPCC author (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and a member of the South African delegation to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Winkler offers a nuanced examination of where the synergies and trade-offs lie, and makes clear the imperative of considering long-term implications when meeting short-term needs.""Cleaner Energy Cooler Climate"" provides analysis of how the supply and use of energy impacts on the local environment. Contrary to prevailing views, developing countries such as South Africa, contribute much to curb the build-up of the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global climate change. With current record-setting global crude oil prices, this book points out that making energy supply and use more sustainable is a central challenge in South Africa's future development path. The author explores the question of whether there is a locally sustainable path of energy development in the South African residential and electricity sectors that also reduces Green House Gas emissions.Anzahl der Seiten: 320Herstellungsland und -region: ZAHöhe: 239mmLänge: 165mmGewicht: 684gSprache: Englisch Information fehlt?Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns, wenn Details fehlen und wir werden diese solange möglich zu unserer Beschreibung hinzufügen., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: Cleaner Energy Cooler Climate, Subtitle: Developing Sustainable Energy Solutions for South Africa, Produktart: Taschenbuch, EAN: 9780796922304, Genre: Science Nature & Math, Thematik: Technology & Engineering, Release date: 30/09/2008, Anzahl der Seiten: 320, Herstellungsland und -region: ZA, Höhe: 239mm, Länge: 165mm, Gewicht: 684g, Sprache: Englisch, HSRC Press<
