Reconciling Domestic Energy Needs and Global Climate Policy: Challenges and Opportunities for China and India
03 March 2010
International Workshop on March 15, 2010. Venice, Italy In both China and India, wealthier consumers and fast growing industries are demanding an ever increasing amount of energy. Governing this energy revolution in a sustainable way will be essential for controlling global concentrations of Greenhouse Gases.

The International Workshop on ‘’Reconciling Domestic Energy Needs and Global Climate Policy: Challenges and Opportunities for China and India’’ will address this issue. The event is organised by the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), the International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG) and the Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change (CMCC) and will be held in Venice, on March 15th 2010.

The purpose of the Workshop is to discuss the ongoing work for the namesake special publication edited by Carlo Carraro and Emanuele Massetti for International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics (INEA).
The one-day workshop schedules a first group of papers discussed, which will introduce the current energy sector dynamics in China and India. A set of scenarios built using global and regional models will be presented to show the necessary transformations China and India will have to undertake to be part of a global agreement on climate with an active role. The related challenges and opportunities will then be assessed in presenting two other papers, one dedicated to China and the other to India. A final set of three papers will discuss how to build a new international climate policy framework in which China and India will play an active role.
Invited authors are major world experts of energy and climate policy in China and India.
