- Podcast 19 September 2024 Desafíos y barreras para desplegar políticas de eficiencia energética en Latinoamérica y el Caribe Problem: La eficiencia energética se relaciona directamente con acciones para mitigar el cambio climático. Además, tiene otros beneficios adicionales vinculados con el acceso a la energía, la seguridad energética, la productividad de las economías regionales y la creación de empleo, entre otros. Sin embargo, en general existen distintas barreras, las cuales son significactivas cuando hablamos de países en desarrollo como son los de Latinoamérica y el Caribe. Existen barreras económicas,…
- Event 13 September 2024 Technical Workshop: Developing Best Practice Loss and Damage Indicators and Reporting Tools As Loss and Damage (L&D) becomes increasingly critical in climate negotiations, the need for accurate and comprehensive L&D indicators has never been more pressing. These indicators are essential for countries to effectively engage with the Santiago Network, access technical assistance, and participate meaningfully in UNFCCC processes. Moreover, L&D indicators align with the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG) framework, enabling countries to assess…

- Podcast 2 September 2024 Heat Waves: Energy Efficiency and Nature-Based Solutions Problem: Heat waves are becoming increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change, posing significant threats to public health, the environment, and the energy infrastructure. Urban areas, with their dense populations and heat-absorbing surfaces, are particularly vulnerable. The rising demand for cooling during these periods strains energy systems, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbating the problem. Traditional cooling methods often rely on energy-intensive…
