Leading the Charge for Low-Emission Sustainable Development

It's difficult to imagine a country with greater energy needs and more acute climate vulnerability than Bangladesh. More than half of Bangladesh's 158 million people have no access to electricity, and the vast majority of those with access do not have a reliable or affordable supply. What's more, unmet electricity demand is growing at a rate of 10 percent per year. The shortage of reliable power limits the country's economic growth and contributes to high poverty rates. At the same time, climate change puts the lives of millions of Bangladeshis at risk and threatens to stall or reverse development gains over the last several decades.

On average, each flood in Bangladesh causes 148 deaths, affects 3.3 million people, and causes $186 million in damage. A single devastating flood in 2004 affected more than 36 million people and cost the country $2.2 billion. Because of its network of wetlands, rivers, and low-lying forests, Bangladesh is particularly prone to floods and storms—weather events that are expected to become more frequent and severe in the face of climate change.

For Bangladesh, and other developing countries, achieving long-term sustainable economic growth in the face of climate change and other threats is of primary concern. To help respond to this concern, in late 2010 the U.S. Government launched a program to help countries develop in a way that ultimately reduces greenhouse gas emissions growth and improves resilience to the effects of climate change.

“Much more than just a climate change or energy program, the Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies [EC-LEDS] program takes an economy-wide approach,” says Kit Batten, USAID global climate change coordinator. “It's really about sustainable economic growth.”

Low Emissions, High Impact

Gone are the days when climate change strategies and programs were confined to the science and environmental communities. With new international political will and support for green growth and sustainable development, climate change is now being integrated into longer-term economic development plans that target new opportunities for green investments and tap into new sources of climate finance.

Though the path to low-emissions development may follow a different route in each country, at its core EC-LEDS helps draw the blueprint for each country's green-growth strategy, partnering with key stakeholders to ensure that the final product meets the country's needs.

National Olympics | Virtual Flying Dukes

What are you doing in Jalisco? This question I do hope that the leaders of the sport of the other states of the Republic as well as those of its municipalities also wonder how or what they are doing in this state who just got their tenth straight win at the National Olympiad. Connect with other leaders such as medical billing here. Definitely not think there is much difference between the youth of Jalisco and other states, we do believe is that there is a difference between seriousness and commitment to develop sports programs in those states and municipalities. (A valuable related resource: snoring solutions ). Train trainers, encourage the sport among the masses, to enable sports facilities to create sports schools, encourage competition, is it so hard that you can not do or 10 years? I think other states should put their shortcomings as it is has excellent athletes around the Republic and not only in Jalisco. Electronic cigarette understands that this is vital information. What will you have Jalisco that other states have not been able to obtain? I think that definition for wanting to achieve the goals established as a state, doing only what it takes to be undisputed champion.
