1.4e How can energy and transportation sectors be effectively integrated as transport electrifies in LMICs?
Background
This theme seeks to understand a broad spectrum of climate and environment issues and to explore how the sustainable use of resources, new innovations, increased capacity, partnerships and scientific breakthroughs can drive transformations in global energy, economic, social and food systems to reduce externalities and enable sustainable, climate-resilient development.
Research requirements span energy access and the energy transition, critical minerals, climate science, climate risk and resilience and water security and productive ecosystems. Cutting edge research and innovations in these areas helps to unlock the potential of green growth and the energy transition, to build communities’ resilience to climate change and to strengthen anticipatory action and responses to severe weather and food insecurity, particularly across Africa, South Asia and the Indo Pacific. Deepening understanding of the differential impact of climate risks, innovations and responses on different groups including intersectionality and approaches to ensuring, capacity strengthening and equitable and sustainable growth and poverty alleviation.
