What If Energy Decoupling of Emerging Economies Were Not So Spontaneous? An Illustrative Example on India


Reference GHG emissions scenarios are critical for estimates of the costs of stabilization and for climate policy recommendations. But recently, existing reference scenarios, notably the SRES, have been the target of criticisms that question their relevance in the light of current emissions trends, dispute the suitability, for developing countries, of the modeling methodologies used and suggest they convey too optimistic views on spontaneous energy decoupling of emerging countries economies.

Promoting Global Environmental Priorities in the Urban Transport Sector

This report gives a clear picture of the key role that the ICT industry plays in addressing climate change globally and facilitating efficient and low carbon development. The role of ICT not only includes emission reduction and energy savings in the ICT sector itself, but also benefits from the adoption of ICT technologies to influence and transform the way our society works and the way people behave. By using our huge network and over 400 million customers, China Mobile is doing its best to promote this transformation and to realise real sustainable development for human beings and the environment.
