本科毕业论文外文原文 外文题目： Carbon Finance for Low-Carbon Community Development in East Asia 出 处： Institute for Global Environmental Strategies(IGES) 作 者： Hidenori Nakamura, Policy Researcher, Policy and Governance Team 原 文： Low-carbon development is required in East Asia to achieve development constrained by energy availability and to mitigate anticipated climate change. Incorporating climate change mitigation into community development efforts is important to help put countries on a low-carbon developmental pathway. However, this is not easy to achieve, and one of the major obstacles is finance. In many developing countries, local funding sources are scarce. To address this obstacle, this study explores the potential to use new forms of carbon finance from developed countries, such as carbon credits and voluntary carbon offsets which have recently been being operating in practice, in order to support low-carbon community development projects in developing countries. This study tries to address several questions. What is the state of carbon finance for low-carbon community development projects in East Asian developing countries where the projects have developmental benefits to the community as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction effects? Are there any low-carbon community development projects that are financed by either not-for-profit finance (i.e., loans which do not seek financial returns), or contributions by non-profit organisations (NPOs) and foundations in developed countries?How can project proponents – either local governments or private organizations – better utilise carbon finance for low-carbon community development projects? What could other stakeholders, such as national governments and international organisations, do to support such local initiatives? This report examines the above questions and dis
