Should the transition towards renewables give rise to a high-cost environment for industrialization, this would be at odds with the basic principle of common but differentiated responsibility under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), given the very limited contribution of LDCs to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Bowen and Fankhauser, 2011). In many LDCs, ministries responsible for electricity governance may have limited or shared authority. In the Solomon Islands and Somalia, for example, energy policy is fragmented amongst several government bodies that have direct or indirect influence on the sector.
