- Event 27 May 2025 E-Training Programme on Energy Efficiency in Buildings in Zambia and Mauritius Improving energy efficiency in buildings is a critical step toward reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing energy security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like Africa. As buildings are among the largest energy consumers, integrating energy-efficient strategies not only reduces environmental impact but also contributes to long-term cost savings, improved occupant comfort, and sustainable development. This three-day virtual training programme explores key…

- Publication 26 May 2025 NDC Private Sector Investment Strategy Belize’s updated NDC (2021) sets ambitious targets for both adaptation and mitigation aimed at achieving 5,647 KtCO2e of emission reductions between 2021 and 2030 compared to a business-as-usual scenario, while building resilience, adapting and minimizing loss and damage due to the impacts of climate change. To achieve this, a wide range of mitigation and adaptation measures have been identified. The total cost estimate for the implementation of the proposed NDC measures is US$1,712 million,…
- Event 26 May 2025 Webinar Series: Advancing Waste Management through Carbon Markets in Pakistan Following the success of the first webinar, which introduced the fundamental concepts of carbon markets and Article 6 and discussed project development in Pakistan, the second webinar will delve deeper into the waste management sector. The sector is a critical area of focus for Pakistan's climate action efforts. As urbanization and industrialization continue to rise, the country faces increasing pressure to manage its waste effectively, particularly to mitigate the methane emissions from…
- News 23 May 2025 Malawi Charts a Greener Financial Future In a move that could serve as a model for climate-vulnerable nations across Africa, the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) has responded to the climate crisis by expanding its role in greening the financial sector. The initiative, supported by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and funded by the NDC Partnership, culminated in the release of a feasibility study and internal roadmap that lay out a phased, actionable plan for accounting for climate-related financial risk in…
- Event 16 May 2025 Highlights from the Global ESCO Market Report 2025 - Insights from the authors 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…
- Event 16 May 2025 Super ESCO approach for implementing energy efficiency in municipalities, the case of Canada The Super ESCO concept has been used for the implementation of energy efficiency (EE) projects in public sector facilities in some countries. Most of the individual targeted facilities have been rather large in size to accommodate the use of Energy Performance Contracting (EPC). The present case, coming from Canada, is quite innovative as it is using the Super ESCO concept in order to implement EE projects in the municipal sector, which is mainly structured by an important number of small…
