Climate Change Mitigation in
Developing Countries
P.R. Shukla
Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad
International Energy Workshop
IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria, 24-26 June, 2003
IIM, Ahmedabad, India
Presentation Agenda
1. How (and how much) developing countries have
contributed to GHG mitigation?
2. What should be key elements of post-Kyoto
architecture? Or, How “Development” and “Climate”
policies be reconciled in the post-Kyoto architecture?

How much mitigation?
1. The six countries have mitigated 300 Million ton of
carbon per year by such measures, for reasons other than
climate change, though several measures could be
“additional” to the economic baseline
2. For context, the total mitigation commitment of
developed countries under Kyoto Protocol (including
USA) would be 392 Million ton of Carbon in 2010
3. Present emissions baseline of these six countries is 18%
below what would been without such measures

Beyond Kyoto:
Development and Climate
IIM, Ahmedabad, India
Development and Climate: Premises
1. Climate most viably approached through development
strategies whose climate benefits are ancillary to sustained
economic growth
2. Rise in developing county emissions driven by
development imperatives and supported by current
resource and technology flows
3. Both climate and development concern fundamental issues
of energy, transport, land use and food security
IIM, Ahmedabad, India
Current Climate Regime
1. Regime architecture is climate-centric and flows from
output to input
2. CDM holds only limited prospect of increased or
redirected flows
3. No assurance of stable assistance from developed to
developing countries
IIM, Ahmedabad, India
Shifting Context – Transitions
1. Transition from state to market economies is a semi-permanent
2. Market reforms driven largely by need for new development capital
3. Patchwork of residual and “reformed” institutions and alliances
4. Private flows grew five-fold while ODA declined during 1990-2000
5. Shift in flows from bank lending to foreign direct investment
6. 10 countries receive 70 percent of FDI
7. Largest investments are in electricity, natural gas and telecom
IIM, Ahmedabad, India
Shifting Context - Partnerships
1. “Hybrid” states present new risk profiles
2. New Investment Strategies
3. Conservative investors hedge by acquiring local partners – i.e.
Brownfield investment
4. Aggressive investors seek “market-making” alliances
5. Changing Trends in Development Assistance
6. Characterized by pledges at Monterrey and Johannesburg:
• Softer and more selective
• Conditioned on “governance” reforms
• Channeled through public-private partnerships
IIM, Ahmedabad, India
Principles Going Forward
1. From Input to Output
• Policy must tilt development choices toward climate-friendly options
• Operate at a scale large enough to alter emission trajectories
• Rather than discrete projects, measured against business as usual, aim to
fundamentally shift baselines
2. Aligning Interests
• Seek alliances of domestic firms/agencies, foreign investors, ODA providers
3. Targeting Assistance
• Adaptation
• Capacity for climate-favoring development
4. Creating Regional Models
• Accelerate technology diffusion by targeting regional leaders
IIM, Ahmedabad, India
Options for a Future Architecture
1. Input-based goals
• Sectoral goals
• Intensity goals
• Policies and measures
2. Programmatic climate cooperation
• GHG credits for broad policy shifts
• A climate bank?
3. Early Signals
4. Integrated Solutions

Retrofit Projects (e.g.) · Promote technology transition in small/
medium industry
· Boiler retrofit
CDM
· Link with resource conservation programs
· Process improvements
Green-field Projects (e.g.) · Positive list
· Promote technical/ financial collaborations
· New Wind Farm
· Jump start technology transition/ hedging
· Gas Power Plant
Infrastructure Projects (e.g.) · Link with development
· Regional energy cooperation
Development
· Gas Pipeline
· High mitigation potential but difficult to
· Electricity T&D operate under CDM regime
· Road/Rail infrastructure
Reform Programs (e.g.) · Strong link with economic reforms and
sustainable development
· Technology R&D/Dissemination
· High transaction costs but high co-benefits
· Electricity Distribution Reforms
· No way to operate under Kyoto regime
· Consumer Awareness

Conclusions
1. Non-climate policies and measures in developing countries have
contributed significant mitigation
2. Climate cause would be better served if the regime is driven by
inputs than output measures
3. Rising investment and technology flows provide significant
opportunities for transition to low emissions pathways
4. Climate embedded within development policies would have
lower climate costs and risks
5. Development pathway is key determinant of effective climate
regime
