The size, speed, and reach of the postcrisis debt buildup in Emerging market and developing countries(EMDEs) raises concerns about its potential consequences for macroeconomic and financial stability. To shed light on these consequences, this study presents the first indepth analysis of four waves of debt accumulation, puts the current debt wave into historical perspective, analyzes national episodes of debt accumulation, examines the links between debt accumulation and financial crises, and draws policy lessons. The study employs a wide range of approaches, including event studies, econometric models, country case studies, and a detailed review of historical episodes.
In this report, Carbon Tracker analyses the financial viability of new gas-fired power plants in Italy. Carbon Tracker compares the cost of gas-fired power plants with those of a clean energy portfolio providing the same grid services (monthly energy, peak capacity, and flexibility).
The purpose of this report is to review existing urban freight movement characteristics across the nine EcoLogistics project cities in Argentina, Colombia and India, provide an account of baseline GHG emissions (2019) from urban freight and identify possible interventions to minimise its negative impacts.
This paper presents three main avenues for local governments to get involved in wholesale energy market issues concerning renewable energy: through public statements, at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) level, and at the Regional Transmission Organization (RTO)/Independent System Operator (ISO) level. In many cases, working collaboratively can help local governments overcome barriers like limited capacity, expertise or funding.
