- News 29 November 2019 Highlights from the second regional workshops The second set of regional capacity building workshops under the TNA III brought together countries from across the globe in Suriname, Fiji, South Africa and Senegal in October 2019. Organised by UNEP DTU Partnership and the respective Regional Centres, the workshops were an opportunity for the country teams to interact with the organisers as well as provide inputs and training on: Identifying barriers and inefficiencies by using market mapping and other tools Identifying activities aimed at…
- Event 27 November 2019 meetMED Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Appliances Under the auspices of the Union for the Mediterranean, this event will gather the national experts who are members of the UfM REEE Platform Working Group on energy efficiency (EE) in Appliances established in January 2019 (at the annual meeting of the UfM Energy platforms), and of the meetMED taskforce on EE in Appliances. The sessions will have a specific focus on regulatory and institutional aspects; monitoring and evaluation processes and structures; energy efficient air-conditioning systems…
- Event 26 November 2019 Data insights to foster the uptake of energy efficiency technologies in EU residential buildings (Webinar) The ambitious strategy of turning EU countries into low carbon economies assumes reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below the level from 1990. This target can’t be achieved without significant changes in building energy use and installed HVAC equipment. Currently 75% of buildings in EU are energy inefficient and the actual rate of renovation is not sufficient to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation targets. One of the barriers of higher and faster distribution of low carbon…
- News 26 November 2019 Annual 7% decrease in emissions needed for next decade Global greenhouse gas emissions should fall over 7 per cent each year from 2020 to 2030 to get on track to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C and minimize climate disruption to lives, the planet and economies, the new Emissions Gap Report says today. The Emissions Gap Report, launched today, shows that collective ambition must increase more than fivefold over current levels to deliver the cuts, needed to hit the most-ambitious temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Each year, the UN Environment…
- Publication 26 November 2019 Emissions Gap Report 2019 Each year for the last decade, the UN Environment Programme’s Emissions Gap Report has compared where greenhouse gas emissions are headed, against where they should be to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Each year, the report has found that the world is not doing enough. Emissions have only risen, hitting a new high of 55.3 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2018. The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2019 finds that even if all unconditional Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the…

- Event 25 November 2019 Technology Needs Assessments linkages with Nationally Determined Contributions Both the TNAs and NDCs processes are country driven with a common aim of implementation. The mature TNA methodology, which provides a basis for many successfully implemented technology projects and programmes, could also be a solid background to build upon, when preparing and implementing the NDCs. This side event aims to enhance understanding of the synergies between the TNAs and the NDCs; to highlight countries’ experiences; and to learn about funding opportunities for countries when…
- Event 25 November 2019 TNAs and Gender During the Gender Day at COP, this event will focus on sharing country experiences and key recommendations for development and implementation of gender-responsive Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) with the aim of building the capacity of operating entities and stakeholders throughout the TNA process. The 2-hour workshop will also facilitate discussions on gender-just technology prioritization, support identification of needs, and build the capacity of stakeholders to systematically ensure…
