Накратко на български

Енергийните системи в развиващите се островни и най-бедни държави се анализират чрез моделиране, например чрез връзката между електроенергията и електрическите автомобили. Това помага на страните да планират прехода към възобновяеми източници и да намалят парниковите газове.

resIlieNT EneRgy systems for climAte Change and susTaInable develOpmeNt

The researcher combined basic research and stakeholder engagement linked to existing activities of the host institution to provide expert support to partners in selected Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs ). Access to modern energy services and the increase in use of renewable energy are two targets of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7; furthermore, energy system transformations will be required globally for countries to fulfill their commitments, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. In contrast to the initial NDCs submitted in 2015, much greater effort is now being given to detailed modeling of country energy systems. Furthermore, there has been significantly more effort given to understanding the linkages between greenhouse gas emissions from the generation of electricity and those from transportation as the world moves toward electrification of vehicles. Supporting countries in formulating their objectives for climate change mitigation through energy system modeling has been a key activity of this project. Three interrelated aspects of the transition to low-emissions energy systems were of further importance in this project. First, interactions between SDGs, both positive and negative, were taken into account. Second, since the transition from fossil fuels to renewables represents a shift from many decades of "business as usual," broad societal input and consensus is necessary for a “Just Transition” to be realized. The energy system modeling carried out by the researcher and colleagues, together with engagement with stakeholders in the partner countries, can help to elucidate some of the potential areas that will require careful attention. Finally, since energy systems change very slowly due to infrastructure already in place, long-term, low-emissions development strategies (LT-LEDS) are increasingly being seen as a fundamental component of energy planning. The success of this project was made possible because of existing relationships and funded activities already in place for the host institution, especially in the Caribbean region where much of the work took place. In addition, the researcher made other connections to energy planning and modeling projects in West Africa and in Latin America. In all cases, models of potential energy system transformation pathways were developed together with other researchers and country stakeholders, while considering connections between energy and other SDGs as well as the longer-term dynamics of the energy system.

Цел на проекта

A primary challenge in the near future is to accelerate improvements in human well-being as expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and mitigate climate change, as required by the Paris Agreement. INTERACTION recognises that access to energy correlates with improved well-being, that climate change mitigation and adaptation require a rapid transition to sustainable, renewable energy sources, and that stakeholder engagement is key to the success of energy transformations. INTERACTION will bridge the gap between high-level modeling of energy systems and evaluation of solutions by working with scientific partners to develop energy-transition pathways, translate model results to realistic implementation strategies in least-developed partner countries through stakeholder workshops, and to provide regionally-specific feedback to the modelling community. Evaluation of results will lead the researcher to gain skills through on-site assessments and participatory engagement with stakeholders, focusing on the multi-dimensional development priorities and commitments made by governments to SDGs and climate change mitigation. An innovative and interdisciplinary process is proposed by INTERACTION, leveraging strong existing partnerships in selected countries to work with local actors, enabling consultation and discussion to develop alternative energy-system plans, while contributing to energy-system transformations and ensuring consistency between these plans and countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement's, climate change adaptation strategies, and SDGs. This country-specific research will provide case studies relevant for other regions as well as fulfill the goal of the MSCA by enabling the researcher to diversify his expertise in energy systems from a theoretical and macro-level to implementation at an international level and in developing countries.
