• Publication 1 November 2022 Climate policy integration: taking advantage of policy windows? An analysis of the energy and environment sectors in Mexico (1997–2018) Given the crosscutting character of climate change, improving our understanding of its integration into sectorial policy domains is relevant. We contribute empirically with a case study in Mexico where we analyze climate policy integration in terms of policy outputs and processes. Firstly, we adapted an approach to measure events of regulatory output change and applied it to our original dataset of changes in Mexican environmental and energy laws and regulations between 1997 and 2018. Secondly,…
• Publication 31 October 2022 Assessing the greenhouse gas impact of a renewable energy feed-in tariff policy in mozambique: Towards ndc ambition and recommendations to effectively measure, report, and verify its implementation Parties to the Paris Agreement (PA) have agreed on the goal of limiting the increase in global average temperature to well below 2◦C and are pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5◦C. Countries’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs) comprise the main framework used to achieve this. In this context, Mozambique’s NDC includes, amongst other actions, increased renewable energy (RE) generation. This article presents the results of the assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts of the…

• Publication 17 March 2022 Regulations and incentive policy framework for district energy system development: An analysis in India This chapter describes the findings and recommendations of rapid assessment on regulation and policy in India to integrate district energy under UNEP’’s District Energy in Cities Initiative. The district energy systems, including district heating and cooling systems, have been considered a cost-effective way to increase energy efficiency and reduce air pollution at the city level. The initiative started its demonstration of district cooling in India by selecting five pilot cities in 2017. The…
• Publication 10 March 2022 Energy-Efficient Retrofit Measures (EERM) in Residential Buildings: An Application of Discrete Choice Modelling Cross-country evidence on the adoption of energy-efficient retrofit measures (EERMs) in residential buildings is critical to supporting the development of national and pan-European policies aimed at fostering the energy performance upgrade of the building stock. In this light, the aim of this paper is to advance in the understanding of the probability of certain EERMs taking place in eight EU countries, according to a set of parameters, such as building typology, project types, and motivation…

• Publication 10 March 2022 A methodological framework to assess the gaps from national energy efficiency policies to local actions within a multilevel governance system The role of cities has recently gained attention in the global energy arena, for instance when a delegation of 25 cities pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050 during COP23. Scientific evidence shows that cities are essential partners to work with to achieve a sustainable energy transition, while organisations such as Covenant of Mayors, ICLEI and C40 are supporting the movement towards a larger inclusion of local institutions. Historically, local governments were considered policy-takers, as…
