Abstract

It is imperative to develop an efficient strategic approach to managing the push-pull factor in economic development, particularly as relates to climate change and energy interactions in the West African Region. This chapter demonstrates the use of system dynamics modeling (SDM) for that purpose; to manage development of energy growth with reduced impact of climate change. The complexities of energy planning in relation to climate change necessitate the need for the tool to examine low carbon economy mixed with traditional approach of planning. SDM demonstrates the capability to understand the theoretical frame for trade-offs between economic development and climate change, by handling the nonlinear relationship between generation adequacy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction for better targeted strategic regional intervention on climate change. With the SDM, the goal of low carbon pathway in the energy system was achieved without the cost of controlled trials.
