• News 6 September 2024 New phase of Technology Needs Assessments starts As the climate crisis continues to threaten communities, ecosystems, and economies globally, the role of technology in mitigating and adapting to these impacts is more crucial than ever. Responding to this need, the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project is advancing into its fifth phase, supporting 17 countries in identifying and deploying climate technologies tailored to their specific requirements. The start of the new phase of the TNA project comes at a crucial time, with countries…
• News 3 October 2023 Tunisia enhances robust transparency framework for the water sanitation sector Tunisia has enhanced their transparency framework for the water sanitation sector including developing a new methodology for data collection which has allowed the country to analyze and recommend concrete actions to use waste water to produce energy while generating climate adaptation co-benefits by improving water quality and reducing water waste. The country now also have the capacity to use the Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO) to improve policymaking and report on impacts. These…
• News 4 August 2023 Tunisia adds cost model to climate action tool-box Climate action that drastically cuts emissions is more needed than ever as countries everywhere are looking for the best climate policies to reach the global climate goals. With an in-depth training session in the use of the Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO), Tunisia now has a tool that allows to analyze and compare mitigation actions (before being carried out) in terms of their abatement costs and emissions reduction potential. GACMO can be used to prepare GHG emissions projections …
• News 15 July 2023 New round of technology needs assessments announced As our planet continuous to show the catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis, endangering lives, communities and entire ecosystems, countries are looking to technology to not only limit the future rise in temperatures, but also adapt to the new reality of climate change facing the globe. But what kind of technologies best fit a country’s specific situation? Through a new phase of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project, 17 countries will assess and analyze their needs, and develop…

• 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…
• Webinar & E-Learning 8 March 2019 Carbon Reduction and Energy Efficiency in the Water and Wastewater sector (Webinar) - 20.03.2019 The linkages between water and energy consumption are significant. To produce energy, water is needed and, likewise, the provision and treatment of water requires the consumption of energy, in particular of electricity (ca. 60%). Reports and analysis demonstrated that the water sector is becoming more energy-intensive, while the energy sector is increasing its water-intensity. In 2014, 120 Mtoe of energy was used in the water sector only, and the growing global water use suggests that the…
• 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…
