UNEP and UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre jointly offer to address them with help of the recently launched NDC…
• Project 8 May 2019 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency - Creating actionable knowledge and learning on energy efficiency The lack of actionable information and misinformation on energy efficiency is widely considered one of the key barriers to energy efficiency action. The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency is continuously collecting and disseminating the latest knowledge and best evidence to support decision and policy making through its Knowledge Management System (KMS). Knowledge Management System (KMS) The KMS is establishing its status as a widely recognised global reference library for energy efficiency…
• Project 12 December 2018 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency works to engage national and subnational governments to accelerate energy efficiency implementation, in line with global Sustainable energy objectives. Many developing world governments are motivated to act on energy efficiency, therefore the Copenhagen Centre can help with the capacity to realise their energy efficiency ambitions, and to develop projects that would be able to attract investments and generate actual energy savings. With a focus on the…
