Overview

Exploring the environmental, economic and social impacts (co-benefits) of different energy choices is an increasingly important aspect of project and program planning in developing countries. With many types of technologies and diverse clean energy resources available, it is important to understand how different clean energy portfolios will affect the economic, environmental and social settings in which they are to be applied.

 

What types of co-benefits or impacts related to clean energy and climate projects might be of interest to my country?

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals website may be a good starting point to begin to assess development priorities for your country. Common co-benefits of climate programs that might be of interest include:

• Macroeconomic
• Rural Energy Access
• Energy Security
• Environment and Biodiversity
• Health

 

What guides and resources are available to ensure that these impacts are integrated with clean energy and climate planning?

Cross-Cutting Impact Assessment

Featured Resources

UNDP Energy Costing Tool

The UNDP Energy Costing Tool is a Microsoft Excel model for government planners and decision makers to estimate the number and type of investments required to meet Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The tool helps to quantify the financial, human resource, and infrastructure requirements for a country to meet its MDGs.

• Economic and Energy Security Co-benefits Presentation: The National Renewable Energy Laboratory developed this overview presentation to provide an introduction to economic and energy security co-benefits related to renewable energy policy, technology and infrastructure.

• International Energy Agency RECaBS Interactive REcalculator: The International Energy Agency's RECaBS Interactive Renewable Energy Calculator is a web-based calculator for international and national policy makers to help account for the economic value of clean energy project externalities, or non-economic, indirect benefits of these projects. The calculator allows you to include the value of such externalities as air emissions, system integration, supply security, jobs creation in the calculation of energy prices.
