- News 2 May 2024 Eurasian Countries Strengthen Climate Transparency Last week, Tbilisi, Georgia, hosted a transformative three-day training to strengthen greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory reporting under the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework. The event brought together more than forty participants from fifteen countries across Eurasia, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. The training titled “Deep-dive into preparation and reporting of results of national GHG inventories under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement” was…
- Project 1 May 2024 Global Platform for Urban Climate neutrality (GPUC) A one-stop-shop for information, technical solutions, capacity building and technical support for energy efficiency and achieving climate neutralityCities are an important engine for global economic growth and socio-economic development. By 2030, almost 5 billion people (about 60 percent of the global population) will live in cities, leading to massive requirements for energy to power growth and expand basic infrastructure. Energy efficiency can offer practical solutions to budget-constrained…
- Project 1 May 2024 Net Zero Strategies for Developing Countries The project aims to increase countries’ readiness for implementing the net-zero strategy by improving the enabling environment (policy and regulation frameworks) and institutional buy-in.Alongside Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), long-term strategies (LTS)—net zero strategies (NZS) form the backbone of the Paris Agreement and pave the ground for low-emission development pathways around the globe. The successful delivery of NDC and LTS-NZS targets requires their integration into the…
- Project 1 May 2024 Implementation of Urban Nature-based Solutions for Mitigation and Adaptation Enhancing awareness among cities for using nature-based solutions to address climate risks and mitigation issues in urban areas.Nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly understood to be effective and efficient options for addressing both mitigation and adaptation challenges in a wide range of settings. In urban contexts, they contribute to mitigation by sequestering and storing carbon in their biomass and in soils or by reducing the demand for cooling. NbS are also powerful options to…
- Project 1 May 2024 Socially Inclusive Energy Transition for Indonesia (SISET) UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre provides technical assistance, and capacity building to sub-national governments in Indonesia to support the country in their low-carbon energy transition.Developing countries are undergoing green energy transitions, longer-term energy planning processes, and defining net-zero emission targets. Energy transitions cannot be considered in isolation from the broader socio-economic system. The shift away from fossil-fuels to new renewable energy solutions will have…
- Project 1 May 2024 Transition of Cities Towards Net Zero Transport in Developing Countries Helping cities in the developing world transit towards net zero transportThe Paris Agreement establishes a mechanism to fight climate change by contributing to the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2019, GHG emissions from Transport accounted for about 23% of global energy-related CO2 emissions, of which 70% are from road transport. Thus, urban transport is vital for mitigating GHG emissions within road transport. Even more so in fast-developing Asian and African cities, where…
- News 23 April 2024 Enhancing Ethiopia's Climate Action Capacity Measuring and tracking the impacts of planned climate actions, and managing related finance flows is vital for successful climate action. This is also the case for Ethiopia, where the country is now, after implementing an ICAT project, better placed to estimate the emission reduction potential of possible mitigation actions and their related costs, and establish a tracking framework to see the realized reductions of implemented policies. Additionally, Ethiopia is armed to manage and track its…
- News 18 April 2024 Strengthening NDC and Climate Finance Capacity in Latin America More than 250 people joined a recent UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre training course on NDC finance and proposal development tailored to bolster the capabilities of National Technical Institutions and governments across Latin America. This initiative, a part of the NDC Action Project, aimed to equip participants with the skills necessary to prepare concept notes for submission to financial institutions, a pivotal step in accessing climate finance for NDC implementation. The training sessions…
