- News 5 July 2019 Global partners gathered to map 2020 strategy and beyond We need district energy if we want to close the gap between our current actions and ambitions and where we need to be to reach the goals in the Paris Agreement and SDGs. Current national commitments to the Paris Agreement make for climate projections many degrees above the desired 1.5C standard to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. To achieve the energy transition necessary, it will be crucial to increase the share of renewables in power supplies while increasing…
- News 28 June 2019 New manual for financing energy efficiency Energy efficiency is considered the "low-hanging fruit" of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector. It is a highly effective and economic way to reduce emissions, but global investment is critical. A new manual provides an overview of innovative financing mechanisms and business models, including case studies from around the world. The manual was written by BASE (Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy), with experts from the UNEP DTU Partnership Copenhagen Centre on Energy…
- News 18 June 2019 UNEP DTU Partnership hosts new network, unleashing the ESCO potential Last week saw the launch of the new 'Global ESCO Network' at the G20 meeting in Tokyo. A network that aims to unleash the potential that Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) have to deliver some of the best returns on green investments, reduce energy consumption and combat excess greenhouse gas emissions. The ESCO concept of using energy savings to pay for the cost of equipment and infrastructure that creates those savings is a business model directly responding to climate change. ESCOs thus…

- News 10 June 2019 Annual meeting on district energy: Inspiring results and capacity building The District Energy in Cities Initiative has achieved great results during last year. More cities and countries are turning to district energy systems as a mean of unlocking decentralized energy, improving energy efficiency, introducing higher rates of renewables, and achieving greater circularity and resilience. The Initiative is one of six accelerators of the SEforALL Energy Efficiency Hub, hosted by the UNEP DTU Partnership’s Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency. The centre also acts…

- Project 22 May 2019 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency – Technical educational training The Copenhagen Centre supports project implementation by supporting the development of technical and vocational training programmes on energy efficiency.When it comes to implementing energy efficiency projects in developing countries, the lack of practitioner skills can be a barrier. This is repeatedly identified through the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency's direct engagement with governments around the world. To support to the energy transition of developing economies and project…
- News 10 May 2019 Partnerships for climate action: Sustainable schools A public private partnership in Chile, based on the UNEP DTU Partnership ADMIRE project, is supplying schools with green energy while proving that there is a business case in investments in sustainable energy in public institutions. The Adaptation Mitigation Readiness (ADMIRE) project creates commercially viable business models for climate action in partnership with public and private sector actors. It is based on the fact that private investments are key to reach the goals in the Paris…
