Six emerging economies, Brazil, China,
India, Indonesia, Mexico, and South Africa, are proactively
seeking to identify opportunities and related financial,
technical, and policy requirements to move towards a low
carbon growth path. With the help of the Energy Sector
Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), the governments of
these countries have initiated country-specific studies to
assess their development goals and priorities, in
conjunction with greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation
opportunities, and examine the additional costs and benefits
of lower carbon growth. Mitigation actions today are
expected to reduce future expenditure on adaptation. These
actions can help attract international concessional funding
to co-finance programs in energy, industry, transport, and
natural resource management, which have carbon reduction
implications. This paper illustrates the framework and the
steps to perform a comprehensive assessment of GHG
mitigation options, highlighting the central importance of
sustained communication with stakeholders in the study process.
