- Publication 16 August 2021 Africa–Europe Collaborations for Climate Change Research and Innovation: What Difference Have They Made? This chapter critically assesses Africa–Europe collaborations on climate change research and innovation. Its authors argue that the complexity of research and innovation challenges on this topic calls for subtler collaborative and evaluation programmes. More importantly, they emphasise the need for greater harmonisation between scientific and political priorities on climate change, and point out that project goals should be more precisely defined, so as to ensure that results can be measured…

- Publication 16 August 2021 Disentangling Distance and Country Effects on the Value of Conservation across National Borders Highlights: We study trans-national valuation of conservation outcomes in two neighbouring countries Sweden and Denmark. The experimental design allow us to separate country and distance effects on values. Respondents prefer conservation in their own country over neighbouring countries. Value decreases with distance from respondents’ home location. The results are important for the design of trans-national conservation policies.
- Publication 16 August 2021 Guidance for NAMA Design in the Context of Nationally Determined Contributions Under the Paris Agreement, the Parties agreed, among other things, to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2ºC above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit this increase to 1.5ºC. Article 3 further specifies that, as Nationally Determined Contributions to the global response to climate change, the Parties will undertake and communicate ambitious efforts under different areas. Under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement, the temperature goal is translated…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Integrating Energy Efficiency into the 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP) This report summarises the discussions and conclusions from the workshop ‘Integrating Energy Efficiency into the 10 Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP)’ jointly organised by the 10YFP Secretariat and the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2) on 8-9 September, 2016 in the UN City, Copenhagen.
- Publication 16 August 2021 City-based Carbon Budgets for Buildings The construction of buildings consumes about 50% of all materials produced globally measured by weight. Materials such as cement, ceramic tile and steel are among the most carbon intensive materials to manufacture, and come with a carbon footprint of their own. This is called embodied carbon. Accounting for embodied carbon is a different way of visualizing the emission effect of the consumer rather than the generator of emissions. Bringing the consumer, and the related production value chains,…
