“…The broader background has been described more fully in a special issue of Climate and Development for each country (Delgado et al 2014a;La Rovere et al 2014;Sanhueza et al 2014;Tyler et al 2014;Zevallos et al 2014) and in a comparative analysis, with emerging lessons introduced by the international policy context Garibaldi et al 2014;Winkler 2014). For this report, the emissions profiles and current debate about carbon pricing is briefly outlined.…”

“…Regarding the presence of financial support, through international support or private investments [5][6][7][8], the Georgia case presents a multi-faceted image. LEDS received aid from different donors: there was direct financial support from USAID (for the EC-LEDS program), GoG (in the "Mitigation Momentum" policy) and donor aid for the NAMA "Adaptive Sustainable Forest Management in Borjomi-Bakuriani Forest District".…”

“…Countries on which studies have reported include: South Africa [23][24][25], Israel [26], Indonesia [27], Thailand [15], Brazil [28], Colombia [29], Peru [30] and Chile [31]. Moreover, numerous comparative studies have been conducted to explore barriers, enabling factors and effects [5][6][7][8]. One such comparative study revealed that NAMA and LEDS appear to have positively influenced mitigation actions in smaller developing countries, but not so much in larger ones [5].…”

Experience with LEDS and NAMA Low Carbon Strategies: The Case of Georgia

Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) and National Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) have the potential to support developing countries in attaining low carbon goals. In spite of the evident potential, there is a need to learn from practice. This paper explores the case of Georgia. The main research question discussed is: What experience has been gained with the development of LEDS and NAMAs in Georgia? The study reveals that both LEDS and NAMAs are subject to barriers that considerably slow development processes: there is a lack of institutional capacity, little inter-governmental goal alignment and poor coordination of actions, a lack of experienced staff and insufficient, substantial, earmarked funding. Capacity building depends on support from organizations in donor countries. This paper contributes to a growing body of knowledge of the implementation of LEDS and NAMA.

“…The challenge is how to ensure that the continent continues to register high economic growth while pursuing low-carbon development pathways in order to avert potentially damaging future climate impacts (ADR, 2012). 4 Indeed, for carbon abatement strategies to be effective, African nations must jointly address economic development and social welfare or poverty impacts (Garibaldi et al, 2014;Vorster et al, 2011).…”

Public disclosure for carbon abatement: African decision-makers in a PROPER public good experiment

A linear public good experiment adopted from Holt and Laury [1997. Classroom games: Voluntary provision of a public good. Journal of Economic Perspectives, 11(4), 209-215.] has been employed to investigate strategic behaviour in pollution abatement among African climate decision-makers. The experiment consisted of three groups, of which groups 2 and 3 received one and two treatments, respectively. The first treatment entailed publicly disclosing the pollution of each member of a group by placing a corresponding colour-coded card in front of each subject, while the second involved the withdrawal of the public disclosure. Group 2 received the first treatment; Group 3 received both the first and second treatments in succession. We found that the untreated group (baseline) polluted more than the two treated groups, and there was no statistically significant difference between the pollution abatement of the two treated groups. These results suggest that public disclosure potentially drives pollution abatement and that its eventual withdrawal does not obliterate abatement behaviour. We did not observe conditional cooperation but average pollution declined over time. Furthermore, individuals who thought it was unfair for Africa to reduce emissions polluted more. We also found that pollution levels differ significantly between males and females.
