- Podcast 18 January 2023 Informed decision-making on portfolio decarbonisation using GHG accounting and lifecycle analysis Problem: Today’s podcast will explore the application and use of carbon footprint calculations, that is GHG accounting and lifecycle analysis, with Vanja Wylie. In today’s talk, we will discuss, among others, how to GHG accounting can inform decisions on energy efficiency. Key message: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a systematic, standardised approach to quantifying a product's or system's potential environmental impacts. GHG Accounting is more narrow in its assessment of environmental impacts…
- Publication 18 January 2023 Transformational Change Guidance for Technology Needs Assessment The guidebook familiarizes the reader with the concept of transformational change in the context of the Paris Agreement, the 2030 Agenda and the UNFCCC Technology Framework. Transformational change is defined, and its operationalisation is discussed as an integral part in all steps of the TNA process. Two case studies from previous TNAs, in Mongolia and Moldova, illustrate how transformational characteristics, outcomes and impacts can be assessed and promoted. Finally, the guidance note…
- News 18 January 2023 Yemen and Somalia moving towards a climate technology win-win Yemen and Somalia are working to make climate action a win-win, tackling the impacts of both conflicts and climate crisis, while also addressing some of the underlying causes of both. Despite significant challenges, both countries are pushing for meaningful climate action addressing the most urgent vulnerabilities and some of the causes of unrest, while paving the way for more climate friendly development and growth.
