• Publication 27 September 2022 India's INDC for transport and 2 C stabilization target Transport sector accounted for 13 % of India’s energy-related CO2 emissions. India’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) specify an economy wide decarbonization target of 33 to 35 % between 2005 and 2030 and includes announcements for urban transport, intercity transportation infrastructures, sustainable logistics and inland waterways to achieve these reductions. The Paris agreement that followed the announcement of the INDC increased the global ambition to stabilize the…
• Publication 26 September 2022 Linking Mitigation and Adaptation in Carbon Forestry Projects: Evidence from Belize Committed action to deal with climate change requires reducing greenhouse gas emissions, i.e., mitigation, as well as dealing with its ensuing consequences, i.e., adaptation. To date, most policies and projects have promoted mitigation and adaptation separately, and they have very rarely considered integrating these two objectives. In this article, we develop a multi-dimensional framework to explore the extent to which climate mitigation forestry projects bring adaptation concerns into their…
• Publication 26 September 2022 Sustainable Low Carbon Transport Scenarios for India Transport sector’s fuel mix which is dominated by the fossil fuel imposes multiple external costs like energy security, air quality and climate change. In this study, alternate future scenarios are designed to explore the transitions of national transport system (till 2050). Several policy options are delineated that would facilitate the sustainable low carbon transformation of India’s transport sector. The long term energy and emission trajectory of India’s transport sector is assessed under…
• Publication 25 September 2022 Deep decarbonization of iron and steel industry in the age of global supply chain– issues and solutions Deep decarbonization of the global manufacturing sector is needed to achieve the climate targets under the Paris Agreement. As of September 2019, 77 countries have announced targets to be carbon neutral by 2050. However, in the age of globalization, countries are concerned that decarbonization leads to cost increases for industries, companies will move their production bases to countries with less strict energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission regulations. Such relocation of…
• Event 23 September 2022 District Energy - A Case study of Zakito Deep Sea Water District Cooling in Curaçao (Webinar) The webinar will present the case study of the Zakito District Cooling project in Curacao, one of the winners of the 7th global district energy climate awards. The project is designed to utilize deep sea water to meet the cooling demand. The realization of the project will unlock the vast potential of District Cooling and related Deep Seawater Industry projects in Curaçao and the Caribbean, a market potential estimated at USD 1.0-2.0 billion. Zakito District Cooling intends to connect all…
• Project 23 September 2022 Supporting Preparedness for Article 6 Cooperation (SPAR6C) The Article 6 of the Paris Agreement establishes a framework for the cooperation among countries to implement their NDCs. Carbon markets mechanisms in particular are considered useful approaches to achieve emissions reduction goals in a cost-effective manner. Besides, carbon markets may also contribute to promote ambition raising in both mitigation and adaptation, increase private sector engagement and pursue sustainable development. This has been acknowledged and interest on carbon markets has…
• News 20 September 2022 Transparency community calls for adaptation There is a need for more tools, methodologies and actions when it comes to transparency in climate change adaptation. This was one of the main messages coming out of the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) Community Meeting held in Copenhagen’s UN City. The meeting was co-hosted with UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and gathered representatives from more than 25 developing countries (with others joining online) to share their expertise and experiences from implementing transparency…
• Webinar & E-Learning 19 September 2022 The Spanish ESCO market – Trends and Barriers (Webinar) - 08.09.2022 Although ESCOs are not yet a prominent implementation modality for energy efficiency in Europe, ESCOs are experiencing a growing market for their services in Spain. As such, Spain may be blazing the trail for other markets in Europe, where ESCOs are yet to establish a strong foothold. Carlos Ballesteros, the CEO of the Spanish ESCO association, ANESE, and recently also a member of the Advisory Board of the Global ESCO Network, shares insights on the trends in the Spanish ESCO market as well as…
