The project - Sustainable Nordic Cities with Focus on Climate-Smart Mobility - aims to contribute to sustainable urban development by supporting the transition to fossil-free transport and accessibility in Nordic cities and urban regions. The potential to organise the Nordic society to be more transport-efficient is significant, and the remaining transports must become increasingly fossil-free.
Biomass is predominantly the energy used for cooking by households and food vendors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Relying on biomass energy leads to deforestation and is associated with negative health and
This proposal will examine two key research objectives that have not been well explored: First, it will examine the role of access to electricity on household’s food security and the nutritional
In Ghana, a basic requirement for getting connected to electricity is access to an electric meter. However, delays in the acquisition of the meters force many households to “subconnect” electricity
In Ghana, growth in electricity demand has largely been met through an increase in thermal generation leading to increases in local air pollutants, mainly greenhouse gas emissions. One way of
Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the drivers for adopting energy efficiency practices within an emerging market context.
Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on the shared value theoretical perspective, this study investigates the corporate strategy approaches toward energy efficiency in firms. This paper draws from a sample of 852 Kenyan firms from 14 sectors. This study’s analysis is based on an ordered probit model.
Findings
Pricing environmental externalities to reduce fossil fuel emissions might entail negative outcomes for other development targets, such as health and poverty. This proposal asks what would be optimal
The study will use household surveys from several African and Asian countries to examine how electricity reliability and quality, prices, gender dynamics, and other variables affect electric cooking
