TL;DR: It is found that in countries with stronger environmental policy/outcomes, urbanization has a more beneficial (or, a less negative) impact on emissions, and elasticity values are -1.1 (0.21) for higher-income (lower-income) countries with strong environmental policy, versus 0.65 (1.3) for high-income countries with weak environmental policies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze and summarize the environmental, social, economic, and community impacts that Mexico should be aware of as its nascent shale industry develops and highlight the importance of regulatory enforcement and community engagement in advancing sustainability.

TL;DR: De Leon Barido et al. as discussed by the authors used Nicaragua as a case study to highlight the importance of high-resolution open access data and modeling platforms to evaluate fuel-switching strategies and their resulting cost of power under realistic technology, policy, and cost scenarios (2014-2030).

TL;DR: This paper develops a predictive model for mapping induced residential demand for electricity -- the hypothetical demand that would exist if access to electricity services were made available and applies it on a fine geographic basis to Kenya to demonstrate the applicability of the approach to informing public or private electrification efforts.
