They also are being used as proving grounds for new configurations of power generation technologies. Though the generation parameters for mini-grids vary, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change defines a mini-grid as having fewer than 15 MW of generation capacity, and as an installation disconnected from a larger power grid.

Doha: The Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) has signed an unearmarked Contribution Agreement with the Adaptation Fund that will go towards funding adaptation and resilience programs for the most vulnerable countries to climate change.
The new contribution aims to finance climate change adaptation projects in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change, including those in least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing states (SIDS).
The new partnership between QFFD and the Adaptation Fund will focus on helping the most vulnerable countries adapt and build resilience to climate change and will be strongly aligned with climate change integration guidelines between both parties.
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo called for stronger global commitments to tackle climate change this week, but environmentalists complain that Indonesia’s emissions-reduction target has not budged and that national policies are still being pursued at the expense of the environment.
