![Page 5: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
This study: the first of three phases
1. Win-win Energy Policies (excludes IFC, MIGA)
![Page 6: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
This study: the first of three phases

Delinking Growth and Emissions
![Page 9: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Business-as-usual development is unsustainable
![Page 10: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Huge disparity in emissions/capita between rich and poor
600-fold variation
So provision of energy access to the poorest puts negligible pressure on emissions
![Page 11: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Strong link between income and emissions – between countries and over time
So broad-based growth puts upward pressure on emissions
![Page 12: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But other growth paths are possible
Some countries had increasing income/capita but decreasing emissions/capita
![Page 13: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And some countries emit much less than peers with similar income and climate
7 fold variation,holding income and climate constant
600-fold variation overall

Win-Win Policies:► Energy Price Reform► Energy Efficiency►Reducing Gas Flaring

Energy pricing and subsidies
![Page 16: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Energy subsidies: large, burdensome, poorly targeted, CO2-provoking► Large
• roughly $250 billion/year outside OECDBurdensome
2 to 7 times greater than gov’t expenditures on health in (e.g.) Bangladesh, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, and Yemen
Poorly targetedPoor peoples’ share of subsidy is usually less than their
share of populationCO2-provoking
Diesel subsidizers emit twice as much CO2/capita as countries with similar per capita income

Subsidy reduction:difficult but sometimes possible► Sensitive political economy – not all clients
interested.Since 1990, more than 250 loans with explicit
energy pricing goals or conditions.Outcomes

Energy efficiency: a low cost way to satisfy new demands for energy ► IEA: efficiency policies
could satisfy 50% of incremental energy demand over 2005-2030
► McKinsey: possible to reduce consumption growth 50% with investments that offer returns >10%
► IPCC: end user efficiency equivalent to renewables or carbon capture in potential for emissions reduction.

Energy Efficiency at the Bank:more hardware and finance than policy oriented► Efficiency was stressed in 1993 policy paperCountry assistance strategies: among top 33
emitters, 20 mention energy efficiency‘Hardware’ investments –such as district heating –
had good rates of return compared to other energy projects. Volume ramped up in recent years.
Relatively few projects supported efficiency policies and institutions: e.g. building codes, appliance standards, demand side management.

An uphill fight for energy efficiency projects?►Compared to large engineering projects,
efficiency policies involve• Smaller funding• Less visibility and ‘charisma’• More complex design and preparation• Longer time horizons
►GEF and trust fund support have been critical to efficiency policy projects

Remedies for flaring:Carbon finance vs. price reform ► Carbon finance – stressed by GGFR – presumes
gas utilization is not privately profitable
► But gas is often underpriced, depressing returns.
► At economic prices, flaring reduction could be highly profitable

Recommendations
![Page 37: Climate Change and the World Bank Group Phase I: An Evaluation of World Bank Win-Win Energy Policy Reforms Kenneth Chomitz December 17, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aec7f8b9ab05997b342/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Looking toward the future► Systematically
promote price reform.► Use energy efficiency
measures to ease price reform.
► Help countries see efficiency as a way of meeting energy demand
► Invest in monitoring and metrics at the project, country, and global level.
