- News 28 October 2024 Advancing Energy Efficiency in Mauritius: A Collaborative Effort for Sustainable Urban Development As a Small Island Developing State, Mauritius is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and faces significant energy challenges due to its dependence on imported fossil fuels. Recognizing the urgent need for sustainable solutions, the Mauritian government outlined ambitious energy efficiency targets in its 2021-2022 budget, aiming to reduce energy consumption by 10% by 2030. In support of these national goals, the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, in collaboration with the…
- News 24 October 2024 Nations must close huge emissions gap in new climate pledges and deliver immediate action, or 1.5°C lost Nations must collectively commit to cut 42 per cent off annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and 57 per cent by 2035 in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) – and back this up with rapid action – or the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal will be gone within a few years, according to a new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report. Updated NDCs are to be submitted early next year ahead of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil. UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report 2024: No more hot air ……
- Event 21 October 2024 Webinar: Climate Technology Progress Report 2024 This webinar presented the main findings from the 2024 Climate Technology Progress Report: “Unleashing Renewable Energy for Ambitious NDCs”. This report provides an update on the progress made towards tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030. COP 28 marked a significant shift towards ending the fossil fuel era, with countries pledging to accelerate the transition to renewable energy. The Global Stocktake revealed that urgent action is needed, as we are not on track to meet the 1.5°C target…
- Webinar & E-Learning 18 October 2024 El rol de la Eficiencia Energética en las NDC (Webinar) - 04.09.2024 A medida que los países revisan sus Contribuciones Nacionalmente Determinadas (NDC, por sus siglas en inglés) en el marco del Acuerdo de París, el rol de la eficiencia energética se vuelve cada vez más relevante. Las medidas de eficiencia energética pueden reducir significativamente las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, mejorar la seguridad energética y promover el desarrollo sostenible y el crecimiento económico de los países. Las medidas de eficiencia energética también contribuyen a…
- News 15 October 2024 Strengthening Local Capacities for Equitable Energy Transition in Indonesia’s Provinces During two recent missions to Indonesia covering Jakarta and South Sulawesi, experts from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre along with our local partner Dala Institute met with key stakeholders to discuss the energy transition process underway and more importantly the role of provinces in energy planning and implementation. This is particularly crucial as Indonesia is embarking on simultaneous transitions along a low-carbon energy pathway, and economic development in an equitable way. The extent…
- News 14 October 2024 Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems as a climate adaptation water resource for agriculture in Jordan Treated wastewater could be a game-changer for Jordan’s water security and agriculture. By analyzing the technical and economic viability, and identifying financial pathways to implementation, the NDC Action project is helping Jordan build climate resilience through the roll out of Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems (DWATS). By using treated wastewater, DWATS aims to improve water security, particularly for smallholder farmers affected by water scarcity and climate risks. The NDC Action…
- Publication 14 October 2024 Bridging the gap: Sectoral greenhouse gas mitigation potentials in 2035 This report was developed in support of the 2024 Emissions Gap Report (EGR) of UNEP. It provides the analysis and findings that are used as background for the development of Chapter 6 of the EGR 2024: “Bridging the gap: Sectoral transformations, benchmarks, potentials, and needed investments”. The report addresses two critical questions: can the emissions gap identified for 2030 and 2035 be bridged, and what are the most promising mitigation options to do so? To answer these questions, a…
- Event 14 October 2024 Supporting the development of ESCO markets in Africa – the role of aggregation and standardisation ESCOs have been struggling with the adapted financing component of their offer and the challenges that come with the need for rapid payback from their clients. While ESCO markets are thriving and developing in China, the US, the EU and more recently in Latin American countries, ESCO markets still struggle on the African continent. In this context, governments need to lead by example by investing in energy efficiency retrofit programs in public facilities (offices, schools, hospitals,…
