USEA/USAID Handbook of Climate Change Mitigation Options for Developing Country Utilities and Regulatory Agencies

摘要

This Handbook of Climate Change Mitigation Options for Developing Country Utilities and Regulatory Agencies is designed to provide an overview of best practices for generating, transmitting, distributing and consuming electric power in developing countries. The emphasis of the Handbook is on the climate change implications of these best practices, together with the associated climate change mechanisms and technical/financial resources available to implement them. Many of the best practices discussed in this Handbook are promoted by and facilitated under the Energy Partnership Program (EPP), funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and executed by the United States Energy Association (USEA). The Energy Partnership Program strives to help developing countries achieve sustainable development through increased, more efficient, environmentally sustainable energy production and use. At the same time, EPP partnerships help developing countries avoid, reduce and mitigate the climate change impacts resulting from energy sector activities and access to energy services.
