Increasing strategic and large-scale investments in low-and middle-income countries are required to ensure a just, equitable, and predictable low-carbon transition. Mobilizing Climate Investment Models is part of a larger initiative to identify the most promising research issues to support an actionable low-carbon transition in the Global South.
Sustainable Energy Transitions, with emphasis on gendered and intersectional aspects, lies at the core of a low carbon society. The implications of energy interventions, policies, and transitions is part of a larger initiative to identify the most promising research issues to support an actionable low-carbon transition in the Global South. Aim: There is an urgent need to identify ways to overcome the challenges to inclusive and sustainable energy access in developing countries, so that a low-carbon transition will improve outcomes for women, youth, and other marginalized populations.
Infrastructure, both hard (Transport) and soft (Digital), are considered catalysts of economic growth. The provision for low-carbon infrastructure, in light of public-private partnerships, is part of a larger initiative to identify the most promising research issues to support an actionable low-carbon transition in the Global South.
Forests offer the potential for implementing nature-based solutions that provide simultaneously economic, social, and environmental benefits. Forests and Land-use are part of a larger initiative to identify the most promising research issues to support an actionable low-carbon transition in the Global South.
Poverty remains one of the key development goals for developing countries. Achieving this goals may be far-fetched given the increasing vagaries from climate change. This paper sought to estimate the effect of climate and weather variability on chronic poverty using household panel data for Kenya. Using Chamberlain random effects probit model with control function, the paper found that weather variability reduces the likelihood of a household falling into chronic poverty.
This paper sought to give insights and inform policy on farmers' knowledge on climate change, the adaptation strategies and the intensity of adaptation. The research was carried out in Kirinyaga County in Kenya. Purposive sampling was used to select the county while random sampling was used to select the respondents. Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire. The probit regression model, the multivariate probit model, and Poisson model were utilized.
Developing countries often design programs that bundle poverty reduction and environment goals. One such program is the Ethiopian food-for-work program in which participants get food or cash in return
