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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENT COSTSALLOCATIONALTERNATIVE ENERGYBINDING CONSTRAINTBUSCARBONCARBON CONTENTCARBON DIOXIDECARBON ECONOMYCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FINANCECARBON INTENSITYCARBON MARKETCARBON MITIGATIONCARBON MODELINGCARBON POLICIESCARBON STOCKSCARBON TAXESCLEAN COALCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ISSUESCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE CHANGE POLICIESCLIMATE RESPONSECOCO2COALCOAL TECHNOLOGIESCOGENERATIONCOMMERCIAL ENERGYCONSERVATIONCOST BENEFIT ANALYSISCOST OF TRANSPORTCOSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEDECISION MAKINGDEFORESTATIONDEFORESTATION RATESDEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENTDISCOUNT RATEDISTRIBUTION LOSSESECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC MODELEFFECTIVE STRATEGYELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY SUPPLYEMISSIONEMISSION LEVELSEMISSION PROFILEEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION REDUCTION OPPORTUNITIESEMISSION REDUCTION POTENTIALEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSION SCENARIOSEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONEMISSIONS PROFILEEMISSIONS SCENARIOEND-USEENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURESENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDSENERGY INTENSITYENERGY MARKETENERGY MODELINGENERGY PLANNINGENERGY POLICYENERGY SAVINGSENERGY SERVICEENERGY SERVICE COMPANYENERGY USEENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTEQUILIBRIUMETHANOLFEASIBILITYFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL FLOWSFINANCIAL INCENTIVEFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL POLICYFISCAL POLICIESFOREST DEGRADATIONFORESTRYFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUEL EFFICIENCY STANDARDSFUEL PRICESGAS SECTORSGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELGENERATION CAPACITYGHGGLOBAL EMISSIONGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSIMPACT ANALYSISIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONLAND USELAND USE CHANGELOW CARBON ECONOMYMARGINAL ABATEMENTMARGINAL ABATEMENT COSTMITIGATION POTENTIALNET COSTOILPASTURESPEAK DEMANDPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLICY SCENARIOSPOWER GENERATIONPOWER SECTORPRIVATE TRANSPORTPUBLIC GOODPUBLIC WORKSRAPID TRANSITREDUCING EMISSIONSREFRIGERATIONRELATIVE PRICESRENEWABLE ENERGYRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGEROADSSMALL HYDROPOWERSOLAR ENERGYSTREAMSSUGAR CANESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ENERGYSUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTTAXTOLLTRAFFICTRAFFIC DEMANDTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT EMISSIONSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT POLICY IMPLEMENTATIONTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORTATIONURBAN TRANSPORTVEHICLEVEHICLE FUELVEHICLE FUEL EFFICIENCYWASTEWASTE MANAGEMENTWEALTHWINDWIND POWER10.1596/17535
