31 A 18 23 18 23 "On the other hand .." has to match "on the one hand"
(Aviel VERBRUGGEN, University of Antwerp)
31 A 18 23 0 24 Since we find this statement somewhat surprising, we propose that
the rationale behind it is explained.
(Government of Norwegian Pollution Control Authority)
31 A 18 23 18 24 This point needs clarification. The authors should confirm that
"decisions about rural energy development" do not have much
influence on GHG emissions. Is this only in developing countries?
Could the authors provide an example of what they mean by "rural
energy development"? For example, a rapid and large increase in
electrification rural areas may have significant consequences for
emissions depending on fuel mix etc.
(Government of Australia)
31 A 18 23 18 24 The statement “On the other hand, decisions about rural energy
developments for example will not have much influence on GHG
emissions” is contentious. The experience in developing countries,
and especially in India, suggest that rural energy policies are
important in improving efficiency of biomass use, penetration of
cleaner fuels and renewable energy technologies and therefore
important vehicles for influencing the deforestation and transitions
to less GHG intensive pathway. Recommend to remove the
statement or qualify it with the explanation such as provided in the
underlined text. In case the deforestation related GHG are clubbed
under forestry policies, this should be clarified since these may
include the contribution from rural energy policies.
(Government of India)
31 A 18 23 18 24 "On the other hand, decisions about rural energy….GHG
emissions". Why give this, better to focus more on synergy between
“SD and climate mitigation.” Further, it could be wrong, rural
population accounts for significant % of energy use in many
developing countries.
