This third phase focuses on supporting mostly Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing states. The objective of this phase is to go beyond identifying technology needs narrowly and to work towards investment. The overall objective of the TNA project is to support countries…
• News 13 November 2018 Achieving low-carbon and climate resilient development in Small Island Developing States Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are highly vulnerable to climate change risks and face unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to climate technology choices and investment options. Due to their vulnerability, the transfer, uptake and diffusion of key technologies is central to achieving the political vision of low-carbon and climate resilient development in SIDS. UNEP DTU Partnership is conducting climate change Technology Needs Assessments in eight SIDS (Antigua and Barbuda,…

• Project 7 November 2018 MAAP tool assessment The Mitigation Action Assessment Protocol (MAAP) tool was developed by the World Bank to promote transparency in how mitigation actions are designed and how they compare in terms of quality of design. The MAAP tool is an assessment tool for identifying strengths and weaknesses in mitigation action design. It allows practitioners to improve the completeness of their Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), enhance transparency of the mitigation action, communicate benefits and…
• Project 3 October 2018 Adaptation Mitigation Readiness (ADMIRE)   ADMIRE supports a total of 6 projects focused on adaptation or joint adaptation/mitigation: In Cambodia, this joint mitigation-adaptation project aims to develop a NAMA for sustainable charcoal. Adaptation benefits are also achieved through direct economic contributions to community forest groups, and indirect benefits of restored ecosystems. Through this project, in Ghana, farmers are able to subscribe to text and voice messages alerting them to weather variability and good practice…
• News 27 October 2017 UNEP DTU supports resource-efficient farming in Jamaica In Jamaica, small and medium-scale farmers are the most vulnerable to current and future effects of climate change due to their lack of technology, knowledge and financing. These effects are threatening the agriculture sector, which provides employment to 18% of the country’s population.  New business models and technologies are needed to enable farmers to not only adapt but also thrive in this new context. UNEP DTU Partnership and INMED Partnerships for Children have addressed these…
