- News 16 June 2025 New Guidebook Launched to Advance Renewable Energy through TNAs The energy sector is the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Accelerating the deployment and scaling up of zero- and low-emission energy technologies is therefore critical. The outcomes of the first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement have emphasized the pivotal role of renewable energy in achieving deep, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, aligned with the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Energy is the highest-priority sector for…

- Webinar & E-Learning 11 June 2025 Highlights from the Global ESCO Market Report 2025 – Insights from the authors (Webinar) - 27.05.2025 The global market for ESCO services is growing and seemingly rapidly. There is a bubbly feeling of something that is about to burst and flourish. That is the general sentiment from a 2-day symposium held in Istanbul on May 7-8, where the first Global ESCO Market Report was launched. The report is developed on the basis of a common IEA/Global ESCO Network survey and provides a comprehensive overview of the status, challenges, and opportunities in the energy service company (ESCO) sector across…
- Publication 9 June 2025 Towards implementing urban Nature-based Solutions in Zambia and Mauritius Climate change and rapid urbanization are central challenges to sustainable development in cities of low and middle-income countries. Nature-based Solutions can address these challenges and offer environmental and social benefits over traditional engineered solutions, and in practice co-exist and positively complement engineered solutions. However, the uptake of NbS in urban planning remains limited and implementation faces several barriers. The need to create enabling environments that…
- Publication 9 June 2025 Towards Implementing Nature-Based Solutions in Zambia Floods, flash floods and droughts are central climate impacts in urban areas in Zambia according to the scientific literature. This is underscored by recent examples of flash floods in Lusaka during the 2024/25 rainy season and increasing stress on Lusaka’s water supply. These impacts are likely to further aggravate as climate change intensifies. Urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) like bio-retention basins, permeable pavements and urban gardens are potential remedies for these challenges and…
- Publication 9 June 2025 Towards Implementing Nature-Based Solutions in Mauritius The challenges of climate change and rapid urbanization present central obstacles to sustainable development in cities of low- and middle-income countries. Urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) receive growing attention as potential remedies for these challenges because they offer environmental and social co-benefits in comparison to conventional grey or engineered solutions. In practice, NbS co-exist and positively complement conventional grey or engineered solutions. Pluvial flooding, flash…
- Event 3 June 2025 SB62 Side Event: Technology Action Plan for Energy Systems Transformation Background As countries move towards more ambitious and investment-ready climate plans (NDCs 3.0), the role of nationally-endorsed technology priorities and implementation pathways becomes increasingly vital. Technology Action Plans (TAP), key outputs of the Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) process under the UNFCCC, assist countries in their technology planning and roadmapping. TAPs help translate national mitigation and adaptation technology priorities into concrete actions and project ideas…
- Event 3 June 2025 Global Transparency Forum 2025 Background The 2024 milestone of the first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) marked the operationalization of a more robust and accountable climate regime and a pivotal moment for countries to reflect on progress, identify gaps, and generate data-driven insights. The information, lessons, and trends emerging from the BTRs offer a critical evidence base to inform more ambitious, realistic, and implementable climate targets as prepare their next Nationally Determined Contributions.
