COMPLETE VERSIONThe World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global environmental and development think tank that goes beyond research to create practical ways to protect the Earth and improve people’s lives. We work with governments, companies, and civil society to build solutions to urgent environmental challenges. WRI’s transformative ideas protect the Earth and promote development because sustainability is essential to meeting human needs and fulfilling human aspirations in the future. WRI spurs progress by providing practical strategies for change and effective tools to implement them. We measure our success in the form of new policies, products, and practices that shift the ways governments work, companies operate, and people act. We operate globally because today’s problems know no boundaries. We are avid communicators because people everywhere are inspired by ideas, empowered by knowledge, and moved to change by greater understanding. We provide innovative paths to a sustainable planet through work that is accurate, fair, and independent. WRI organizes its work around four key goals: People & Ecosystems: Reverse rapid degradation of ecosystems and assure their capacity to provide humans with needed goods and services. Governance: Empower people and strengthen institutions to foster environmentally sound and socially equitable decision-making. Climate Protection: Protect the global climate system from further harm due to emissions of greenhouse gases and help humanity and the natural world adapt to unavoidable climate change. Markets & Enterprise: Harness markets and enterprise to expand economic opportunity and protect the environment. In all its policy research and work with institutions, WRI tries to build bridges between ideas and action, meshing the insights of scientific research, economic and institutional analyses, and practical experience with the need for open and participatory decision-making. 
  2. WRI has four inter-connected core competencies, or building blocks, that are common throughout our work– all focused on how we achieve impact in the world. Focus on Results: We organize all of our work to produce powerful and practical solutions, strategies and tools, and policy proposals for the public and private sectors. We are very deliberate about what we hope to achieve (our objectives) and the strategies we adopt to achieve our objectives.Analytical Excellence: We identify problems, drivers, economic incentives, and consequences to arrive at comprehensive, incentive-based, practical solutions. WRI’s objective and rigorous analysis is the bedrock of our work. Partnerships: We work with scientists, governments, businesses, NGOs, and international institutions worldwide to create incentives and pressure for change. Communication: We foster change by disseminating our solutions and ideas to targeted audiences. Our multifaceted outreach contributes significantly to our outcomes.

  14. India and China account for 76% of new coal capacity anticipatedChina coal:70% of total energy mix in China;80% of electricity generation in ChinaChina’s coal consumption remains significant, but is expected to plateau by 2020 and renewable energy deployment continues to ramp up (IEA WEO 2012)
  15. Why Beijing is concerned about coal?
  16. Investment in coal-fired plants in 2011 was not even half of what was invested in 2005. About one-third of the proposed new coal–fired plants that have been approved are delaying the start of their construction, resulting in a big slowdown in newly added coal power capacity. In fact, based on the number of coal-firedplants completed in 2012, newly installed capacity is likely to be only half of what was installed in 2011.This dramatic decrease in new coal development is mainly a result of China’s economic slow-down and weaker demands for new energy. It is also a result of the long-standing electricity sales price freeze imposed by the Chinese government on the power sector.Another important trend not to be overlooked is the rising public concern over coal’s environmental and health impacts. In response to unprecedented deterioration of the environment, public awareness of environmental problems is rising rapidly. The number and scale of local social unrest incidents against pollution are mounting across the country, many of which are related to coal-fired plants. Some of these incidents have gotten international attention. In December 2011, for example, nearly 30,000 local residents protested against the expansion of a coal-fired power plant in Haimen, Guangdong Province. The project was quickly suspended after the protest turned violent.4This map shows areas with PM 2.5 concentrations that exceeded the WHO’s guidelines over a two-year period. PM 2.5 is correlated with lower birth weights, which then translate to a host of health problems later in life (source: http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2013/02/13487/maternal-exposure-air-pollution-linked-low-birth-weights-worldwide)Graph Source: http://eijournal.com/industry-insights-trends/most-unsafe-aerosol-pollutant-abundant-in-china

  21. CHINAAlthough there is uncertainty in the extent of China’s shale gas resource estimates, they are significant (perhaps greater than US shale gas reserves). Availability of water for hydraulic fracturing is likely to be a key factor influencing and perhaps constraining shale gas development in China.By 2015, China aims to have natural gas contributing 8.3% of total primary energy - 990 shale gas wells drilled, producing 6.5 billion cubic meters (0.23 Tcf) of shale-sourced gas. China also imports LNG. According to a recent CSIS report, 4 LNG import terminals are operating today, 4 more are under construction, and many more are proposed.Csis.org/files/publication/120824_Nakano_ProspectsShaleGas_web.pdf.India and Shale Gas:India has 63 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable shale reserves (wouldn’t be on this map normally)Natural gas provides about 7% of total energy in India (2009). Although the majority is producted domestically, there are two operational LNG terminals. Other terminals are proposed and pipeline imports are also being explored.India’s progress towards shale gas is at an early stage relative to China and any impact of shale gas production in India is not expected during this decade.Shale gas block auction was delayed by ministry of environment, pending results of a water study. Similar to China, water availability is expected to be a factor influencing the viability of shale gas development in India.India’s 12th five year plan planning documents include an emphasis on shale gas resource estimates, research and drilling 25 wells (shale gas and coalbed methane seem to be considered concurrently).http://www.financialexpress.com/news/shale-gas-blocks-auctions-put-off-by-a-yr/764129/0http://www.eia.gov/analysis/studies/worldshalegas/pdf/fullreport.pdf, p. 4
  22. Methane emissions occur at every life cycle stage of U.S. natural gas systems, with cost-effective reduction technologies available for each of these stages. According to our research, reducing the life cycle methane leakage rate to less than 1% of total production is an achievable industry-wide goal that, if attained, would ensure that natural gas is a significantly lower net contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than coal or oil. However, achieving this sensible goal will require additional policy actions at the state and federal level.
  23. China has the most installed capacity of any country, and had the highest growth in capacity in the five years from 2006-2011 (92%). However, investment only increased by 1% in 2011. Figures have not yet been released for 2012. China adopted its first national feed in tariff for solar in 2011.Note: Renewable as defined by Pew includes: wind, small-hydro, biomass and waste-to-energy, solar, geothermal, marineAlthough behind China, India’s investment levels increased by 54% in 2011.

  26. New data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that as of 2012 China is looking good to meet its targets:Non-fossil fuels accounted for over 9% of total energy consumption in 2012 (up from 8.6% in 2010)Energy Intensity is falling. Power consumption grew by 5.5% in 2012– less than half what growth rate was in 2011.CO2 only increased by just over 3% in 2012 vs. 9% increase in 2011.[Source: Dr. Melanie Hart, Center for American Progress (http://www.chinafaqs.org/blog-posts/chinas-new-leadership-confronting-energy-climate-and-environmental-challenges)
  27. India’s goals for 2012 are about 10% of China’s for 2020; Most investment in RE is being driven by the public sector – through the National Solar Mission, and the renewable portfolio obligations.  The renewable portfolio obligations of the electric utilities are poorly implemented by state regulators, since most state utilities are bleeding money, and the RPOs are considered overly burdensome. Investment in the sector is active from both the public and private sphere:Public sector•Rs 800 Crores offered for 2013-14 as generation based incentives for wind sector •Rs 3000 Crores outlay, under 2013-14 budget for grid-connected projectsPrivate sector•In 2012, twelve private equity deals in renewables worth $325.1 million  (~Rs.1,765.30 crore) have happened•FDI worth of $ 467.07 million during 2012-13 in Indian renewable energy scene.
  28. One indicator we map is floods – not just where they happen, but where they have the greatest impactCoastal areas of India and China are particularly at risk, and these are where some of the two countries’ largest cities are located. Overextraction of groundwater and development on unstable or filled in land exacerbates the threat to coastal cities.Several things pop out in this map:Some flooding is driven by hurricanes and typhoons – like the east coast of the USSome flooding is driven by rivers that flood from snowmelt – like parts of EuropeSome flooding is monsoon driven – like south AsiaAll of these floods have the potential to create costly disruptions – some of the largest megacities in Asia are along the coast of India and China.
  29. A third example layer is drought severity, looking at where droughts have historically threatened agriculture and other water-dependent activities worldwide.This map is current data, but future could be more extreme.
  30. China’s per capita meat consumption may grow by 40% by 2030 (but would still be less than US per capita) – Resource Revolution (McKinsey).China is responsible for 27% of all meat consumption, 25% of soybeans, and 19% of cerealsRice accounts for 25-30% of freshwater withdrawals in each country.
  31. India: Drop in wheat production by 4-5 million tones, with even a 1ºC rise in temperature estimated by Government of India’s National Communications (NATCOM) in 2004.China: Although the picture is mixed, global- and regional-scale studies considered here generally project decreases in the yield of China’s major crops: rice, wheat, and most markedly of maize, as a consequence of climate change.http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/pdf/4/p/China.pdfOriginal caption:Source: Mueller and others 2009.Note: The figure shows the projected percentage change in yields of 11 major crops (wheat, rice, maize, millet, field pea, sugar beet, sweet potato, soybean, groundnut, sunflower, and rapeseed) from 2046 to 2055, compared with 1996-2005. The values are the mean of three emission scenarios across five global climate models, assuming no CO2 fertilization (see note 54). Large negative yield impacts are projected in many areas that are highly dependent on agriculture.
  32. China is one of the biggest global consumers of timber- importing 40-45 million cubic meters of annually, which is expected to double by 2020. Half of all timber traded in the world ends up in China. China is also likely the largest importer of wood products with illegal origin (at least 80% of imports from key tropical countries, including Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Congo-Brazzaville, and Indonesia, are estimated to be illegal.)India is also a major driver of global demand for timber and forest products (overall timber demand is expected to grow from 58 million cubic meters in 2005 to 158 million cubic meters in 2020. As India’s own capacity to produce wood products is limited, there are concerns that this will result in a large import market of illegal timber. China and India need a market for sustainable wood and forest-based products, similar to the standards established in the U.S. by certification bodies like the FSC. They also need stronger laws and better enforcement to reduce the trade in illegal wood. Yingtan, Jingxi Province, China.

  33. Potential extent of forests in AsiaThis slide shows the potential extent of forests in China and India, if climate and soil were the only constraints. This is a good proxy for historic forest conditions. As you can see, forests should be quite abundant in Eastern and Southern China, as well as Northeast India. Source: http://www.slideshare.net/WorldResources/forest-and-landscape-restoration-intro
  34. Current extent of forests in AsiaHowever, China and India have lost much of their historic forests, and are not living up to their “forest potential”.Only 6 % of China’s forest area is primary forest and 23% of India’s.The rest is either naturally regenerated or planted – these have less biodiversity and a reduced ability to store carbon.
  35. But both China and India have extensive opportunities for restoration and reforestation.India has ambitious reforestation and restoration plans, and has long-running afforestation programs. From 1980-2005, India afforested 34 mha of land in total. In the next decade, India plans to afforest another 20 mha. China as embarked on a series of extensive reforestation and restoration programs. Since 2000, China annual increased its forest cover by 11,500 square miles.One program began as an effort to stabilize soil and control erosion after mudslides and floods in 1998 killed 4,000 people and displaced 18 million. The 10-year Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) seeks to restore 37 million acres of farmland into forest or grasslands on slopes in the Yangtze and Yellow River Basins. This $40 billion program has been praised by many (see PNAS study from Stanford). Some reforestation programs have been criticized for replacing diverse forests with monocultures and tree plantations, or planting non-native species that are ill-adapted to China’s climate.

  39. “The estimated emissions gap in 2020 for a “likely” chance of being on track to stay below the 2oC target is 8 to 13 GtCO2e (depending on how emission reduction pledges are implemented), This is up from 6 to 11 GtCO2e in last years’ Bridging the Emissions Gap Report. The gap is larger because of higher than expected economic growth and the inclusion of “double counting” of emission offsets in the calculations.
  40. New data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that as of 2012 China is looking good to meet its targets:Energy Intensity is falling. Power consumption grew by 5.5% in 2012– less than half what growth rate was in 2011.Non-fossil fuels accounted for over 9% of total energy consumption in 2012 (up from 8.6% in 2010)CO2 only increased by just over 3% in 2012 vs. 9% increase in 2011.[Source: Dr. Melanie Hart, Center for American Progress (http://www.chinafaqs.org/blog-posts/chinas-new-leadership-confronting-energy-climate-and-environmental-challenges) ]China’s coal consumption remains significant, but is expected to plateau by 2020 and renewable energy deployment continues to ramp up (IEA WEO 2012)China is considering4 major measures that may help reign in coal:New steps on a Resource tax on coal production12th 5YP on Energy Development provides for a cap or“expected target” on national coal production Carbon trading (pilots expected to be operational this year, which may lead to a national system)New steps in Grid modernization (such as providing easier access for distributedrenewable energy projects)Tangible interests are driving continued progress:Economic Competitiveness (the 12th Five Year Plan identifies 7 “Strategic Emerging Industries”, 5 of which are clean tech- related)Energy securityEnvironmental Protection (Air Quality crises, growing civil unrest, and awareness of climate impacts)Climate change negotiations (China desires to be seen as a leader internationally, especially as regards developing countries) Renewables targets were increased to the levels in this chart after the initial release of the 12th Five Year Plan “Stock Volume” refers to the above-stump volume of living trees measured from the bark up to the treetops.

  44. In Copenhagen, we saw the creation of the BASIC alliance – Brazil, South Africa, India, and China. How these four act in the lead up to 2015 will have a huge impact on whether the world sees a global deal on climate change.
  45. China and India both positioning themselves as “developing” countries who should be allowed to continue on their growth trajectories and be recipients of climate finance. This has implications for how and http://unfccc.int/files/documentation/submissions_from_parties/adp/application/pdf/adp_china_workstream_2_20130305.pdf

  47. South-South financial flows are changing the nature of development finance and assistance. Between 2009 and 2010, two Chinese state-owned banks lent more money to other developing countries than the World Bank.[1]Source: CDB and China Exim “signed loans of at least $110bn (£70bn) to other developing country governments and companies in 2009 and 2010, according to Financial Times research. The equivalent arms of the World Bank [IBRD and IFC, not IDA] made loan commitments of $100.3bn from mid-2008 to mid-2010, itself a record amount of lending in response to the financial crisis.” Dyer, Geoff, JamilAnderlini, and Henny Sender, “China’s lending hits new heights,” Financial Times, January 17, 2010.

All told, the United States and China exchanged more than $8.5 billion worth of clean energy goods and services in 2011- compared to a total trade relationship of over 1 trillionData source: Pew (http://www.pewenvironment.org/news-room/reports/advantage-america-the-us-china-clean-energy-technology-trade-relationship-in-2011-85899456253)
  51. The Department of Commerce decided to impose tariffs on most solar panels imported from China (October 2012)Wind towers imported from China also face tariffs.Based on findings of dumping and subsidies.These trade disputes should be viewed in perspective.China also has trade complaints against the USTrade disputes among all trading nations are not uncommon, for example, the US and the EU regularly have trade disputesThe U.S. actually had a 1.63 billion clean energy trade surplus with China in 2011Trade in solar products continues with other countriesThere are indications that other countries without tariffs have increased production to fill the gap in imports from China(http://www.eenews.net/tv/transcript/1650)Image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41864721@N00/3451530961/Suggested reading:DoC Fact Sheet: 23rd U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Tradehttp://www.commerce.gov/news/fact-sheets/2012/12/19/fact-sheet-23rd-us-china-joint-commission-commerce-and-trade Sources:Commerce fact sheet on Solar PV dumping (http://ia.ita.doc.gov/download/factsheets/factsheet_prc-solar-cells-ad-cvd-finals-20121010.pdf) NYTimes (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/business/global/us-sets-tariffs-on-chinese-solar-panels.html?_r=0)Renewable Energy World (http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2012/12/u-s-boosts-duties-on-china-wind-energy-as-trade-talks-open)Tech transfer for market access (http://www.commerce.gov/news/fact-sheets/2012/12/19/fact-sheet-23rd-us-china-joint-commission-commerce-and-trade)
  52. Trade issues are perennially discussed between US and Chinese government trade officials. Areas of Progress:China has addressed some US concerns bilaterally:China agreed to drop local content requirements for wind turbine manufacturers in 2009 at the US-China Joint Commission on Commerce and TradeChina also reaffirmed in 2012 requiring technology transfer in exchange for market access is not allowed Clean Energy Research Center (CERC) Intellectual Property Agreement:The US and Chinese CERC participants jointly developed a framework for progress on protecting Intellectual Property in the CERCThis framework has buy-in from CERC industrial partners (Major US corporations like Duke Energy, Dow, and others)Application of the framework requires both parties to work out the detailsOne feature that is most promising is that both governments are involved, which raises confidence in the agreementAPEC:In late 2011, all parties, includingChina and the U.S., reached an agreement on a list of environmental goods on which to cut tariffs to 5 percent or less by 2015.Image: APEC (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8177/7977268706_a8e4936966_b.jpg)Image: CERC (http://www.us-china-cerc.org/about.html)

Success in cleantech depends on things beyond the trade realm, such as encouraging innovation to develop the next generation of competitive cleantech productsCreating markets for low-carbon powerFinancing companies and projectsCompanies with new technologies require financing for growth and scaling-upCreating New KnowledgePre-commercial research is badly under-funded in the USProviding clear regulation based on consistent, long-term policiesClear regulation and permitting can lower risks for companiesEnsuring grid-connection for new RE projectsFurther reading: see Letha Tawney’sChinaFAQs blog (http://www.chinafaqs.org/blog-posts/getting-our-act-together-solar-%E2%80%93-elements-winning-strategy)Image: (http://www3.law.harvard.edu/journals/elr/files/2011/11/innovation1.jpg)
  54. The US is specifically challenging India’s national solar policy, which was launched in January 2010, requiring developers of solar projects to use modules and cells manufactured in India. India may expand the program to include thin film technologies – represent a large portion of solar-related US exports to India .China had similar requirements for wind that were later dropped in negotiationsSource: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/56451546-7087-11e2-a2cf-00144feab49a.html#axzz2NuBv8uSWVolune of trade: http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5330.html

  56. This transition is different from the last transition. In 2001, China was just ramping up for a period of intense economic growth. In 2011, shortcomingsof this model are now recognized by the leadership, including severe pollution resulting from dependence on coal.Because China is midway through its 12th Five Year Plan, it will likely “stay the course” on its climate and energy policies in 2013The current Five Year Plan is dedicated to ensuring that China’s economy moves toward low-carbon(the 12th Five Year Plan identifies 7 “Strategic Emerging Industries”, 5 of which are clean tech- related)http://www.flickr.com/photos/remkotanis/8165950984/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/special/18cpcnc/2012-11/08/c_131959814.htm
  57. Despite India’s international public postures, internally SD is top of the agenda, reflected for example by the title of the 12th Five Year Plan is titled as “Faster, More Inclusive and Sustainable Growth” There is a dedicated section on SD that covers key priority areas including water, energy, livelihoods etc wherein environmental imperatives are articulated in tandem with developmentSome useful quotes from the Plan So the discourse is right and ambitiousCo-benefits framework set to play an important role in India’s response to SD, particularly climate changeIt is interesting to note on social and economic agenda, the political parties are deeply divided. But when it comes to environment/SD, there is not much divide; in fact on climate change the moral argument of ‘equity’, historical responsibility resonate across political parties. So on sustainable development as a macro concept, it is the government at that point of that time decides India’s positionAnother interesting positive example is the ‘direct cash’ transfer that Jairam Ramesh so passionately pursuing that set to change the way service delivery in India done now (this is the by way is a classic example of south-south learning as the Indian experiment is directly from Brazil “BolsaFamilia’ scheme that President Lula so popular in that country; he was in India recently and talked a lot about India’s new scheme)“Faster, More Inclusive, and Sustainable Growth” – title of the 12th five year plan. The 12th Five year plan (2012 – 2017) includes the following priorities:1. Advanced Coal Technologies2. National Wind Energy Mission3. National Solar Mission4. Technology Improvement in Iron and Steel Industry5. Technology Improvement in Cement Industry6. Energy Efficiency Programmes in the Industry7. Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Programme8. Improving the Efficiency of Freight Transport9. Better Urban Public and Non-motorized Transport10. Lighting, Labelling and Super-efficient EquipmentProgramme11. Faster Adoption of Green Building Codes12. Improving the Stock of Forest and Tree CoverSource: http://planningcommission.gov.in/plans/planrel/12thplan/pdf/vol_1.pdf
  58. On climate:I don’t see this as a priority in the elections. It will be about corruption, nepotism, economy, budgets, FDI, aamadmi etc.If anything rural electrification can come up – but considering it hasn’t come up ever in the past, I don’t know if it will make a big dent. Nothing on CC. except if some climate disaster strikes between now and elections On EnergyThere is definitely a big push towards nuclear and RE. we can expect that to continue. Not so much about EE. Especially with BEE in a mess now.Sustainable transport, housing, water, urban infrastructure etc. will all be serious issues. I see state level work continuing as a big focus. Land and WaterFrom a resource perspective water will be a growing problem. Not just for agriculture, but also for cities.The impact of floods and droughts will also be serious – especially from the food security perspective.And land acquisition will continue to pose challenges, as industry and infrastructure needs will come in conflict with decentralized and local needs. The absence of a transparent and accountable governance mechanism that people trust doesn’t help situations.Photo credit:
