- News 16 September 2021 The DigiGreen podcasts: Digital transformation and sustainability Digitalisation is an ever-increasing part of our lives, driving change and development at speeds hitherto unimaginable. In a new series of podcasts, we look at how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help drive climate action and sustainable development. Listen to the first episode here. While ICTs could help address climate concerns and enable the much-needed shift toward a circular economy, new technology also contributes to global carbon emissions and generates waste during…

- News 16 September 2021 World is off track to meet Paris Agreement climate targets COVID-19 did not slow the relentless advance of climate change. There is no sign that we are growing back greener, as carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly recovering after a temporary blip due to the economic slowdown and are nowhere close to reduction targets. Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere continue at record levels, committing the planet to dangerous future warming, according to a new multi-agency United in Science 2021 report. Rising global temperatures are fuelling…
- News 14 September 2021 New guide: Climate Tech in an urban context Cities are not only home to growing consumption and production activities, making them large consumers of energy and major greenhouse gas emitters, they also face major challenges from climate change impacts, including heatwaves, pluvial and river flooding, coastal flooding and coastal erosion, droughts and water scarcity, vector-borne diseases, wildfires and windstorms. Active participation from cities around the world is critical to defining and implementing a system-wide technology…
- News 10 September 2021 Cambodia uses transparency to create policies for national demands and international standards To help aid the effective implementation of the Paris Agreement and tracking of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), UNEP DTU Partnership, through the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT), has been supporting the government of Cambodia to enhance its transparency framework. Building on the success of the first project phase, which helped develop a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system in the renewable energy sector, UNEP DTU Partnership and ICAT are supporting…
- News 10 September 2021 New guidebook: Climate Tech in an urban context New guidebook: Climate Tech in an urban context Cities account for an ever increasing part of the world's consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. New guide shows way to active participation in green tech transfer and climate action. Cities are not only home to growing consumption and production activities, making them large consumers of energy and major greenhouse gas emitters, they also face major challenges from climate change impacts, including heatwaves, pluvial and river flooding,…
- Publication 9 September 2021 Organizing collective action: Does information and communication technology matter? In recent years, there have been significant changes in the fields of collective action and political activism. The increasing use of ICTs in social interactions has facilitated informal ways of organizing and affected the participation, emergence, and organizing of conflictual and consensual collective actions. In this study we seek to understand how the integrated use of multiple ICTs, that is the ICT ensemble, affects the organizing of consensual collective action. We investigated the ICT…
