IRENA Handbook on Renewable Energy Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) for Policy Makers and Project Developers

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) - IRENA, 2012

Over the past five years, increasing attention has focused upon a promising new instrument to reduce carbon emissions in developing countries – one which does not attempt to impose a one-size-fits-all solution, but which takes advantage of national-led initiatives tailored to each country’s specific needs. This instrument is called ‘Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions’, or NAMAs, and is driven by the conviction that appropriate government policies and activities can mobilise public and private investment in low-carbon development. NAMAs vary considerably in scope – ranging from large-sca ...

Over the past five years, increasing attention has focused upon a promising new instrument to reduce carbon emissions in developing countries – one which does not attempt to impose a one-size-fits-all solution, but which takes advantage of national-led initiatives tailored to each country’s specific needs. This instrument is called ‘Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions’, or NAMAs, and is driven by the conviction that appropriate government policies and activities can mobilise public and private investment in low-carbon development. NAMAs vary considerably in scope – ranging from large-scale initiatives costing tens of millions of dollars, to single pilot projects. They might be financed domestically, or internationally. But they all share the same objective: overcoming barriers to a significant and measurable reduction in CO2 emissions, country by country, with global impact.

IRENA Renewable Energy Country Profiles

IRENA, 2012

The IRENA Renewable Energy Country Profiles take stock of the latest development of renewable energy in two regions where renewable energy can make a significant contribution to combat climate change and bring modern energy services to everyone: Africa and the Pacific.
The country profiles combine elements of IRENA analysis with the latest information available from a vast array of sources in order to give a brief yet comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the situation of renewable energy that includes energy supply, electrical capacity, energy access, policies, targets, investment cl ...

The IRENA Renewable Energy Country Profiles take stock of the latest development of renewable energy in two regions where renewable energy can make a significant contribution to combat climate change and bring modern energy services to everyone: Africa and the Pacific.
The country profiles combine elements of IRENA analysis with the latest information available from a vast array of sources in order to give a brief yet comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the situation of renewable energy that includes energy supply, electrical capacity, energy access, policies, targets, investment climate, projects and endowment in renewable energy resources. Because of the different timelines of these sources, data presented here refer to years between 2008 and 2012. Data availability also differs from country to country, which makes comparison with a wider regional group possible only for the year for which figures are available for all the members of the group; while this may not be the most recent year, the differences between countries, regions and the world remain striking.
