Increasing Penetration of Variable Renewable Energy: Lessons for Asia and the Pacific
Variable renewable energy (VRE) technologies that harness solar, wind, and other intermittent energy resources are among the front runners for mitigating climate change. However, the timing and level of power generated from VRE installations depend on resource availability and are independent of the variations of power demand. VRE output is intermittent and comes with a low marginal cost. This unique combination of VRE characteristics will increasingly influence power system design, performance, and economics as VRE penetration increases. -

Inspiring JJ竞技(拉萨)登录手游's Future
The Asia and Pacific region continues to grow economically, but also faces daunting challenges. Economic growth remains essential for poverty reduction in a region that is home to more than half of the world’s poor. Furthermore, there needs to be attention to growing inequalities, the reality of runaway climate change and weaknesses in governance—all three in turn threaten to block growth itself. Taken together, there needs to be greater emphasis on generating more productivity and impact, not just more investment and outputs. -
Climate Disasters and Development in Asia-Pacific
This paper focuses on disaster risks connected to the phenomenon of climate change. Rising exposure of populations, increasing vulnerabilities and the changing nature of the hazards are turning these hazards of nature into natural disasters. -
