This UNICEF report bears out the reality that young people around the world understand that the damage that is being done to the Earth by man-fuelled climate change is damage that their generation will have to suffer, pay for, and attempt to rectify.

This report, Current Challenges and Priorities for Greenhouse Gas Emission Factor Improvement in Select Asian Countries, focuses on a key initiative of the LEAD program, namely to improve GHG inventories and GHG accounting systems and practices.

The traditional energy system is the main contributor to greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions and, therefore, to climate change whereas renewable energy (RE) emits no or help to reduce the GHGs emission.

India's significant economic growth over the last decade has led to an inexorable rise in energy demand. Currently, India faces a challenging energy shortage. To grow at 9 per cent over the next 20 years, it is estimated that its energy capacity must increase by approximately 5.8 per cent per year.
