- Webinar & E-Learning 29 December 2025 Cooling India’s Future: The Strategic Role of District Cooling Systems The webinar “Cooling India’s Future: The Strategic Role of District Cooling Systems” brought together experts to discuss how India can address its rapidly growing cooling demand through sustainable solutions. Moderated by Trupti Yargattimath from the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, the session highlighted that cooling is no longer a luxury but a critical infrastructure need in India’s urban future. With cooling demand projected to grow eightfold in the next two decades, reliance on standalone…
- Tools 25 July 2025 Net Zero Appliances NDC Toolkit The Net Zero Appliances NDC Toolkit, developed by CLASP, is a comprehensive resource designed to help governments integrate appliance energy efficiency into their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. Recognising that appliances and equipment account for nearly 40% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions, the toolkit emphasises the critical role of efficient appliances in achieving climate goals. It provides actionable guidance for policymakers, including how to…
- Podcast 19 September 2024 Desafíos y barreras para desplegar políticas de eficiencia energética en Latinoamérica y el Caribe Problem: La eficiencia energética se relaciona directamente con acciones para mitigar el cambio climático.

- Webinar & E-Learning 26 July 2022 Upscaling E-Mobility in Developing Countries for Climate Mitigation (Webinar) - 07.07.2022 Transportation is responsible for 24% of the direct global CO2 emissions due to fossil fuel combustion. The Paris agreement on climate change set the goal of limiting global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are widely considered a powerful mitigation option to reduce CO2 emissions from buses, passenger cars and two and three-wheelers in the transport sector. The global push toward EVs is reflected in…
- Webinar & E-Learning 16 December 2020 Mainstreaming Energy Service Companies in Nationally Determined Contributions - Book Launch (Webinar) – 16.12.2020 Despite the high benefits and low cost of energy efficiency as a major solution for mitigating climate change, a large number of energy efficiency opportunities remain untapped due to multiple barriers. ESCOs, which combine technical expertise and financing, are businesses that can play an important role in boosting private investments in energy efficiency implementation and thus also climate change mitigation. However, ESCO are absent in the Nationally Determined Contributions …
- Publication 28 September 2020 Finance Guide for Implementation of Technology Action Plans Reaching the envisaged scale of climate technology implementation implies a drastic scale-up and implementation of policies and measures, as well as a rapid mobilization of domestic and international financial resources, which should be efficiently and sustainably invested. This guidebook provides information on how to develop a business case for interventions that are inclusive of climate change mitigation and adaptation technologies, and to present this information in structured proposals to…
- Publication 26 June 2020 Regional Technology Brief Latin America and Caribbean Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have a geographically determined vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. Climate change projections show increasing mean temperatures rising by up to 4.5°C compared to the pre-industrial period by the end of the 21st century across the LAC region. Climate change projections are coupled with observed trends in the direction of increased energy consumption, which has more than tripled over the past forty years. This is expected to continue to…
