- 3. “ “ Eradicating extreme poverty, energy poverty, and providing decent living standards to all in these* regions in the context of achieving sustainable development objectives, in the near-term, can be achieved without significant global emissions growth (high confidence). AR6 WGIII SPM B.3.3 * Low-emitting countries emitting less than 3 tCO2-eq per capita and lack access to modern energy services

- 5. “ “ In all countries, mitigation efforts embedded within the wider development context can increase the pace, depth and breadth of emissions reductions (medium confidence). Policies that shift development pathways towards sustainability can broaden the portfolio of available mitigation responses, and enable the pursuit of synergies with development objectives (medium confidence). Actions can be taken now to shift development pathways and accelerate mitigation and transitions across systems (high confidence). AR6 WGIII SPM E.2

- 14. "Urban areas are systems where multiple mitigation options – especially when integrated – have cascading effects across transport, energy, buildings, land use, and behaviour." The full potential for reducing consumption- based urban emissions to net-zero GHG can be met only when emissions beyond cities’ administrative boundaries are also addressed Source: IPCC (2022), Chapter 8 on Urban Systems and Other Settlements Maeneo ya mijini ni mifumo ambapo chaguzi nyingi za kupunguza - haswa zikiunganishwa - zina athari zilizounganishwa kwenye usafiri, nishati, majengo, matumizi ya ardhi na tabia.

Integrating systems Coupling sectors Energy storage Smart grids Demand-side management Sustainable biofuels Electrolytic hydrogen and derivatives Accommodating large shares of renewables in energy systems Electricity systems powered predominantly by renewables are becoming increasingly viable. Mifumo ya umeme inayoendeshwa kwa wingi na zinazoweza kutumika upya inazidi kuwa na ufanisi. • Electricity systems in some countries and regions are already predominantly powered by renewables. • A variety of systemic solutions to accommodate large shares of renewables in the energy system have emerged.

- 20. “ “ Scaled-up public grants for mitigation and adaptation funding for vulnerable regions, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, would be cost-effective and have high social returns in terms of access to basic energy (high confidence). AR6 WGIII E.5.3

- 22. “ “ Policy packages that enable innovation and build capacity are better able to support a shift towards equitable low- emission futures than are individual policies (high confidence). Economy- wide packages, consistent with national circumstances, can meet short-term economic goals while reducing emissions and shifting development pathways towards sustainability (medium confidence).
