- Webinar & E-Learning 14 October 2025 From Hard to Abate to Hard to Ignore: Shipping’s Historic Climate Regulation and the Impact on Developing States (Webinar) - 24.09.2025 This webinar, co-hosted by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, explored the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Net Zero Framework—described as the first global, legally binding climate regulation for an industry sector. Gabriela Prata Dias opened the session by emphasising the urgency of climate action, noting that “emissions need to be declining before 2030 to keep the 1.5 degree within reach.” She highlighted the shipping…
- Webinar & E-Learning 29 April 2025 Maritime Decarbonization: A Critical Component of the Global Climate Action Agenda (Webinar) - 24.04.2025 The shipping industry significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, making maritime decarbonisation vital for climate action. As the world works toward ambitious climate goals, the decarbonisation of maritime transport is essential to reducing emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. This webinar, held in collaboration with the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, explores the critical role of…
- Podcast 2 September 2024 Heat Waves: Energy Efficiency and Nature-Based Solutions Problem: Heat waves are becoming increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change, posing significant threats to public health, the environment, and the energy infrastructure. Urban areas, with their dense populations and heat-absorbing surfaces, are particularly vulnerable. The rising demand for cooling during these periods strains energy systems, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbating the problem. Traditional cooling methods often rely on energy-intensive…
- Webinar & E-Learning 8 September 2023 Empowering the energy transition: energy cooperatives and energy communities (Webinar) - 19.04.2023 Although a nascent business model, today energy cooperatives and energy communities cover already a wide range of activities in renewable energies and energy efficiency in several countries. These are local and citizen-led initiatives that put in common investment means and democratic principles to implement the energy transition. Decentralized renewables and small-scale energy efficiency can quickly materialise and become a solution to energy security and decarbonisation, and benefit from…
- Event 19 May 2022 Biennial Gathering of the Global ESCO Network On June 7th 2022, 41 partners joined the 1st Biennial Gathering of the Global ESCO Network, demonstrating that the Network has truly grown into a global, dedicated group of ESCO professionals and advocates! Gathered in the margins of IEAs 3-day 7th Global Conference on Energy Efficiency, the Global ESCO Network also delivered a side-event together with IEA. We will nurture this partnership with IEA not only to raise the profile of ESCOs, but also to help deliver concrete improvements of…
- Event 28 April 2022 Energy Efficiency Financing Charette Hosted at the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre In-person only event There is a fundamental disconnect between the finance community and energy efficiency. The Mission Efficiency Financing Charette will be convened to undo this disconnect. The charette will bring together two groups: the world’s finance community (private sector, development banks, philanthropic organizations, climate finance facilities, etc.) and the projects and initiatives that are at the forefront of delivering the transition…
- Project 30 August 2021 Strengthening Danish participation in the ISGAN Annex 7 - Smart Grid Transitions ISGAN Annex 7 - Smart Grid Transitions is a work programme of the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN), a Technology Collaboration Programme of the International Energy Agency. The aim of ISGAN Annex 7 is to investigate institutional change associated with smart grid deployment. It uses the framework of transition management to spark off an international, trans-disciplinary research activity in the social sciences supporting policymakers in the field of Smart Grids by focusing on the…
- Project 1 October 2020 CONNECT4GREENTECH – a collaborative research and innovation project of the Nordic Green Growth Research and Innovation Program CONNECT4GREENTECH focuses on supporting conditions for upscaling green technologies and on moving further the innovation frontier of extracting high‐value chemicals from lignin forward. Lignin is an abundant side stream in pulp production, nowadays mostly burnt for energy. Yet, it has a broad application potential from biofuels to chemicals, medicine and food additives. A lot of R&D concerning different options has been conducted, but the roads ahead, possible value chains, actor networks…
