- Project 10 October 2018 Wind power technology for mini-grids in rural Africa The long-term objectives of the project are to contribute to poverty reduction, stimulate economic growth and increase the supply of sustainable energy. The short- to medium-term objective is to explore the market potential and learn more about how to design solutions and business models that are suitable for rural electrification. The project will therefore conduct a market study, engage in dialogue with local communities and authorities, and demonstrate the technical, social and economic…
- Project 8 October 2018 CAAST Net Plus UNEP DTU led the work of CAAST Net Plus on Africa-Europe climate change research collaborations, focusing on the role of science, technology and innovation as a means to tackle climate change. Towards that end, we generated various analytical outputs (see below), including a summary of our work in a chapter entitled “EU-Africa collaborations for climate change research and innovation: what difference have they made?” in the book EU-Africa Research and Innovation Cooperation for Global…
- Project 8 October 2018 Strengthening international cooperation on climate change research (SINCERE) Across the European Union, national research agencies fund the activities of domestic academic institutions working on all aspects of climate change research. Mechanisms exist to ensure that the funds that each country, and the European Union, allocate to these activities are spent in a manner that avoids duplication and promotes collaboration across national boundaries. SINCERE seeks to extend this approach to non-European Union countries. To this end, the project brings together key…
- Project 5 October 2018 Project Implementation for Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) The CTCN is the operational arm of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’s Technology Mechanism. It is hosted by UN Environment in collaboration with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and with the support of 11 independent organizations having expertise in climate technologies, including UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. The CTCN is a demand-driven mechanism as its services are offered upon request by developing countries, and the volume and…

The Kigali Amendment focuses on phasing down the production and consumption of HFCs, strong greenhouse gases widely used as refrigerant in air conditioners and refrigerators. The Global Scientific Assessment will assess the…
- Project 5 October 2018 The UNEP Adaptation Gap Report UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre has managed the production of UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report series since its first edition in 2014. The aim of the reports is to inform national and international efforts to advance adaptation. From 2020 and onwards, the Adaptation Gap Report consists of two main parts: A first part consisting of a recurrent assessment of global progress on adaptation in three areas: planning, financing and implementation. This part will include both quantitative (through…
- Project 5 October 2018 The UNEP Emissions Gap Report Each year the reports also feature assessment of key opportunities for bridging the gap. The reports have gained wide reputation as a scientifically authoritative source of timely and policy relevant information to key decision-makers, informing the UNFCCC process, and – looking forward – the implementation of the Paris Agreement. UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP CCC) has managed the production of UNEP’s flagship report on climate change – the Emissions Gap Report – since 2011. The latest…
- Project 3 October 2018 Adaptation Mitigation Readiness (ADMIRE) ADMIRE supports a total of 6 projects focused on adaptation or joint adaptation/mitigation: In Cambodia, this joint mitigation-adaptation project aims to develop a NAMA for sustainable charcoal. Adaptation benefits are also achieved through direct economic contributions to community forest groups, and indirect benefits of restored ecosystems. Through this project, in Ghana, farmers are able to subscribe to text and voice messages alerting them to weather variability and good practice…
