- Webinar & E-Learning 27 October 2023 ESCOs in India – beyond cherry-picking (Webinar) - 03.10.2023 India’s per capita carbon emissions are low, about 1.8 tons, but the combined figure makes it the third largest emitter globally. The Energy Conservation Act in 2001 introduced energy service companies in the country to induce private capital into energy efficiency. This makes India one of the important markets for ESCO services, where ESCOs have been active for more than two decades. In this webinar, Ms Aarti Nain, Advisor at UNEP India’s Urban Cooling Program, is giving her insights on India…

- Publication 16 October 2023 Water-energy Nexus in Urban Water Supply Systems Access to clean water and modern energy supply are key preconditions for modern life. Water-energy nexus refers to the tight interlinkage and high interdependence between water and energy demand and supply (WWAP, 2014). Energy production, especially hydropower and the cooling of thermal and nuclear power generation, depends on water. Reallocating water to different uses and places might increase the value per drop but increase energy use. Water supply, including water extraction, treatment, and…
