• Project 27 September 2021 Transformation & Article 6: Strengthening the transformative effect of market approaches under the Paris Agreement Transitioning towards sustainable development and net-zero global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be key to staying within the temperature limits established by the Paris Agreement. The potential contribution of market-based instruments towards these objectives is, however, unclear. The project aims at developing recommendations on how to exploit the potential of Article 6 to support transformative change. Based on insights from literature review and interviews, the researchers propose a…
• Project 1 September 2021 The Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) UNEP DTU is an implementing partner of the project “Climate Enhancement Package (CAEP) financed by the NDC Partnership.CAEP assists developing countries, members of the NDC Partnership, in achieving two overarching objectives: Objective 1. Enhance NDCs, including by raising ambition, as part of the Paris Agreement’s NDC update process; Objective 2. Fast-track implementation of NDCs, including by providing in-country technical expertise and capacity building. The CAEP intends to catalyze…
• Project 17 January 2020 NDC Action The NDC Action Project supports 10 partner countries to translate their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) into concrete sector strategies and actions ready for financing and implementation, and to increase the ambition of their NDCs. At present, many countries are not yet able to fully exploit the transformative potential of their NDCs, as they still face significant obstacles. UNEP and UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre jointly offer to address them with help of the recently launched NDC…
• Webinar & E-Learning 6 May 2019 Energy Efficiency in Appliances in the MENA region (Webinar) - 04.04.2019 It was calculated that about 30% of the predicted global increase in energy demand will come from the Arab region[1]. Further, the primary energy demand has increased by around 56% between 2005 and 2015 and is still increasing. The high subsidies have led to a great overconsumption resulting with 40% worse than global average in some of the lowest energy efficiency levels worldwide[2]. This shows the urgent need to put more focus on Energy the residential, industrial and commercial sectors to…
• Project 18 December 2018 Capacity Development for CDM (CD4CDM) Project The CD4CDM created an enabling business and regulatory environment that was conducive for identification, preparation, approval, financing and implementation of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the target countries. To reach this goal, UNEP DTU Partnership and its in-country partners implemented the following broad activities: Provision of institutional strengthening and capacity development Support to the establishment & operationalization of Designated National Authorities …
• 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…
• 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 26 October 2018 Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) The Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) aims to strengthen capacities in developing countries to assess the impacts of their climate policies and actions and to support greater transparency, effectiveness, ambition and trust in climate policies worldwide. The Initiative works with countries to build capacities on understanding and applying tools and approaches to measure, report and verify (MRV) greenhouse gas emissions reductions and adaptation action, as well as to strengthen…
