- Publication 16 August 2021 Finance Guide for Implementation of Technology Action Plans The results of the TNA process are available for integration into national planning processes and for funding and implementation by interested stakeholders. Participating countries gain improved in-country capacity on the methodologies and process of conducting a TNA, including stakeholder engagement, multi-criteria analysis, barrier analysis and preparation of project concepts, including financial proposals. The outputs of the project will be generated using a transparent participatory…
- Publication 16 August 2021 The Growth of Small-Scale Irrigation in Kenya This report contributes to the first aim of the TEMARIN project through a study of the market for small-scale irrigation technologies in Kenya. It specifically analyses the strategies and capabilities of irrigation technology suppliers and their role in developing the small-scale irrigation market in the country. This includes outlining recent developments in the sector and providing an assessment of growth opportunities and business models for the diffusion of irrigation technologies to…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Technology for small-scale farmers doubles crop yield - Stepping stones on the road to food security in Ghana Agricultural production in Ghana falls seriously short of its very high potential. This counteracts efforts to create employment in rural areas, to feed a growing population, and to protect natural habitats. New research on sustainable intensification shows that resources are available in smallholder agriculture that can at least double yield. Making and using biocharas soil amendment -from waste products such as straw -increased soil fertility and dwindled greenhouse gas emissions. The new…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Deep decarbonisation of iron and steel industry in the age of global supply chain– issues and solutions Deep decarbonisation 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 ofglobalisation, countries are concerned that decarbonisation 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…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Coordinated demand response of rail transit load and energy storage system in considering driving comfort The electric trains typically travel across the railway networks in an inter-provincial, inter-city and intra-city manner. The electric train generally serves as load/source in tractive/brake mode, through which power network and railway network are closely coupled and mutually influenced. Based on the operation mode of rail trains and the characteristics of their load power, this paper proposes a coordinated optimal decision-making method of demand response for controllable load of rail trains…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Reporting adaptation through the biennial transparency report: A practical explanation of the guidance Acknowledging that climate action is urgently needed, the Paris Agreement – adopted in 2015 – establishes a series of long-term goals across climate change mitigation, adaptation, and the provision of support. Unlike under its predecessor,the Kyoto Protocol, the contributions of countries party to the agreement towards achieving the Paris Agreement’s goals are self-determined, i.e. countries decide on how and to what extent they reduce their national GHG emissions, implement adaptation, and…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Nordic Capacity-Building Support to LDCs and SIDS for the Implementation of the Transparency Framework of the Paris Agreement Developing countries often lack the technical capacity, tools and robust institutional frameworks to enable regular reporting on the implementation progress of the Paris Agreement. Reporting is crucial for creating national and global overview of the mitigation efforts, adaptation plans and support needed and received towards enhanced climate ambitions. The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) was established to build mutual trust and confidence, allow comparability and ensure accountability…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Pocket Guide to NDCs under the UNFCCC For over a decade, the European Capacity Building Initiative (ecbi) has adopted a two-pronged strategy to create a more level playing field for developing countries in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC): training negotiators from developing countries; and providing opportunities for senior negotiators from developing countries and Europe to interact, understand each other’s positions, and build mutual trust. The first part of the strategy focuses on providing training and…
