• Project 23 January 2020 Smart Cities Accelerator (SCA) Smart Cities Accelerator (SCA) is financed by the EU programme Interreg-ØKS, that supports cross-regional collaboration in Europe. Climate challenges such as global warming, air pollution and pressure on natural resources has resulted in a number of political objectives at local /regional, national, European and global level. One of the major climate objectives is to substitute fossil fuels with sustainable and renewable energy. This requires interdisciplinary development of methods and…
• Project 23 January 2020 Flexibility for Smart Urban Energy Systems (FlexSUS) The FlexSUS project develops a decision-making tool to support smart urban energy systems based on digital solutions which enable municipalities and city planners to optimize their energy systems while implementing climate change mitigation efforts. The project builds on optimization of existing and planned energy systems and develops bridges across them in the form of data management system and visualization tool to be used by system planners that adapt to the specific needs and energy…
• Event 22 January 2020 Building and operating climate positive data centers The event will be held virtually. 2019 has been a pivotal year for climate change awareness, where corporate organizations are now racing not only to join the fight against climate change, but also to avoid shrinking profits or funding restrictions as consumers and investors alike demand green-friendly sustainable businesses. “The SDG goals represent a call for action by all countries to preserve sustainability of the planet.  With the data center industry on the road to consume a…
• 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…
• News 14 January 2020 It's time for sustainable barbecues There is nothing like a good barbecue, is there? If you think so, you're not the only one. In fact charcoal is a major cooking fuel throughout the world and is threatening pristine rainforest in many countries. Unfortunately it is another fact, that we will not be able to replace charcoal with emission free cooking - like electric cooking based on 100% renewables - any time soon. Based on this, Nordic Climate Facility has decided to fund a 'sustainable charcoal' project in Cambodia. As a…
• Publication 3 January 2020 Loss and damage in COP25 The 25th Conference of the Parties (COP25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held from 2 to 13 December 2019. No agreement could be reached on the rules governing international carbonmarkets and, as a result, the negotiations on this matter were postponed. With regard to two of the remaining negotiating issues – future emission-reduction commitments by parties, and climate finance for developing countries –, theagreements reached at COP25 fell far short…
• News 30 December 2019 2019: A year of change and action As the end of 2019 draws near, UNEP DTU Partnership would like to thank our partners in all sectors for all your efforts and collaboration in the last year. Together we have created and supported projects and research that brings us closer to a climate-resilient world for future generations, where developing countries prosper using low carbon energy sources in the most efficient way. Thanks for lifting this task together - we look forward to continuing our in 2020. New Strategy In 2019, we…
• Webinar & E-Learning 19 December 2019 Data insights to foster the uptake of energy efficiency technologies in EU residential buildings (Webinar) – 04.12.2019 The ambitious strategy of turning EU countries into low carbon economies assumes reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below the level from 1990. This target can’t be achieved without significant changes in building energy use and installed HVAC equipment. Currently 75% of buildings in EU are energy inefficient and the actual rate of renovation is not sufficient to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation targets. One of the barriers of higher and faster distribution of low carbon…
