- Project 11 October 2018 A policy framework for non-motorised transport in Rajkot, India Public transport and non-motorized transport can be up to 20 times more space-efficient than private cars. This is particularly relevant in an urban context where space is a constrained resource. Yet space use is rarely assessed explicitly in urban transport planning, the connection between low carbon transport planning agendas and the wider concept of ecological footprint is not widely understood or appreciated. And there exists no standard method for quantifying the use of space in complex…
- Project 11 October 2018 Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) The Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) project worked to strengthen national capacities to formulate low carbon development strategies and identify mitigation opportunities. FIRM worked within the context of national sustainable development priorities and the evolving concept of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). Towards this end, FIRM provided advice and capacity-building to stakeholders in participating countries. The project was funded by the…
- Project 11 October 2018 NAMAcademy The overall objective of the NAMAcademy is to provide focused training on practical issues when designing climate change mitigation policies and actions, as well as assisting in bringing the initial idea to a well-structured concept designed to approach potential financiers. The training provided through the NAMAcademy allows participants to structure their initial climate action concepts into well-structured implementation plan targeted towards financiers and climate finance providers, finally…
- Project 8 October 2018 CAAST Net Plus UNEP DTU led the work of CAAST Net Plus on Africa-Europe climate change research collaborations, focusing on the role of science, technology and innovation as a means to tackle climate change. Towards that end, we generated various analytical outputs (see below), including a summary of our work in a chapter entitled “EU-Africa collaborations for climate change research and innovation: what difference have they made?” in the book EU-Africa Research and Innovation Cooperation for Global…
- Project 5 October 2018 Efficient and Climate-friendly Cooling: the Kigali Amendment This assessment is part of a UN Environment Project “Global High-Level Leadership, Advocacy, and Communication” funded by the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP), a philanthropic program to support the implementation of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. The Kigali Amendment focuses on phasing down the production and consumption of HFCs, strong greenhouse gases widely used as refrigerant in air conditioners and refrigerators. The Global Scientific Assessment will assess the…
- Project 5 October 2018 The UNEP Emissions Gap Report Each year the reports also feature assessment of key opportunities for bridging the gap. The reports have gained wide reputation as a scientifically authoritative source of timely and policy relevant information to key decision-makers, informing the UNFCCC process, and – looking forward – the implementation of the Paris Agreement. UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP CCC) has managed the production of UNEP’s flagship report on climate change – the Emissions Gap Report – since 2011. The latest…
- 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…
- Webinar & E-Learning 2 October 2018 Energy Efficiency Policies and the Arab Future Energy Index (Webinar) - 11.10.2018 Arab countries are putting in place numerous energy efficiency measures in all sectors to save energy, reduce emissions and fulfil their climate goals. The case of Tunisia strikes to be progressive due to its structure and projects that support energy efficiency in the country. During the weminar three experts are speaking on the following topics, with a focus on the Tunisian energy market: Energy efficiency trends and challenges in the Arab region (AFEX 2017) Energy efficiency policy…
