This book analyses the effectiveness of climate finance as
political instrument to reduce the effect of anthropogenic
activities on climate change and promote the green growth in
developing countries. The book highlights that close attention
should also be paid to the analysis of political contexts in a
broad sense. Particularly focusing on the international
negotiations process that enables the direction of funds toward
specific needs and priorities and the issue of access to
electricity. For example, the difficulties that developing
countries face when trying to improve their green economic
development without access to carbon remains a matter of the utmost
importance and urgency for many developing countries that lack
significant aid from developed countries. This book will be of
interest to a wide body of academics and practitioners in climate
change and energy policies. Moreover, this project is a valid
instrument for students in energy policies and climate programs.
Energy is one of the main determinants of economic growth, but the
high dependence of electricity production by fossil fuels could be
a brake for the development of countries which do not have a
sufficient level of richness and/or which possess a high level of
environmental sensitivity. Countries tend to contrast these limits
to growth using a higher percentage of renewable sources for
electricity generation, though the technological limits still
suffer. Renewable energy sources are appreciated worldwide for
their ability to limit significantly the impact of anthropic
activities on energy production and counter the gradual
appreciation of the raw materials used in the process of
traditional generation based on gas and/or oil power plants.
Moreover, renewable generation can encourage off-grid generation in
the underdeveloped countries. The attention to environmental issues
has led several countries to ratify international agreements such
as the Kyoto Protocol, Durban Protocol and, more recently, the
Paris Agreement; these mandates pledge to reduce emissions of
pollutants and to increase the share of energy produced through the
use of renewable sources, but the results obtained so far are not
encouraging. The relevance of the renewable energy generation and
the increase in the investments in a newly installed capacity lead
many scholars to investigate the relationship between economic
growth and the key factors of the investments in RES. With this
volume, the authors want to explore and analyze the causes and
consequences of fragmentation and discussing policy responses on
promoting renewable energy generation by shedding light on the
policies proposed to promote the renewable generation and enhance
energy efficiency, their effectiveness in reducing environmental
degradation and the promotion of decarbonization, and discussing
how developing countries do and should continue to invest in green
generation.
