• Event 8 October 2019 Powering Digital Transformation through Sustainable Datacentres - Organized by UNEP DTU Partnership Datacenters have an important role to play in digital transformation. Today’s datacenters have the potential to become a dynamic change agent within smart urban systems. The growth of inefficient datacentre brings irreversible economic and environmental ramifications to the society. Currently, the world's datacentres consumed 3% of global electricity with a growth project to 20% by 2025. These power hungry datacentres now are responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions, a similar share of the…

• Event 22 August 2019 Engaging citizens in renewable energy projects Renewable energies are a key component in global efforts to address climate change. Around the world, companies and governments are developing wind and solar projects, as well as other renewable energy schemes at an increasing pace. However, while greenhouse gas mitigation is a strong driver for these investments, large-scale renewable energy projects do not automatically benefit everyone, and are not necessarily welcomed by all. In a number of countries – including Denmark – large-scale wind-…

• Webinar & E-Learning 6 July 2018 Efficient Mobility: Electrification in Maritime Transportation (Webinar) - 24.07.2018 Among the various transport modes, shipping is one of the most efficient cargo transport. Yet, the significant growth of seaborne trade increased the energy consumption of shipping, despite of the improvement in the energy efficiency of shipping engines. According to the International Maritime Association, global fuel shipping consumption increased from 291 to 298 million tonnes (+2.4%) from 2013 to 2015. Thus, the global shipping emissions amplified quantitatively. Check our webinar to know…
• News 10 April 2018 UNEP DTU in Parliament hearing: We need to boost climate ambitions Denmark is not only home to the UNEP DTU offices, the Scandinavian country is also known for its green policies and technical expertise when it comes to climate solutions. But as successful as the country might be it cannot escape the global need to enhance climate ambitions. That was the message the Danish Energy, Utilities and Climate Committee of the Danish parliament got, when it invited UNEP DTU and other experts to a hearing on Denmark's climate efforts and the goals in the Paris…
