The three episodes are produced through the Smart Energy…
• News 16 June 2025 New Guidebook Launched to Advance Renewable Energy Through TNAs The energy sector is the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Accelerating the deployment and scaling up of zero- and low-emission energy technologies is therefore critical. The outcomes of the first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement have emphasized the pivotal role of renewable energy in achieving deep, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, aligned with the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Energy is the highest-priority sector for…
• News 9 May 2025 Successful Symposium Highlights Potential of ESCOs in Climate Action This week, the 2nd International ESCO Symposium underscored the importance of energy service companies (ESCOs) in financing energy efficiency projects. ESCOs utilize energy savings to pay for the cost of equipment and infrastructure, making them a vital component in the transition to a low-carbon future. The symposium, organized in cooperation with the Global ESCO Network, was held in Istanbul from May 7 to 8, and successfully brought together global leaders in the energy services sector…
• News 1 November 2024 2024 Climate Technology Progress Report Highlights Path to Tripling Renewable Energy by 2030 As the world strives to meet critical climate goals, the 2024 Climate Technology Progress Report: Unleashing renewable energy for ambitious NDCs underscores the urgent need to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030 and spotlights the enabling conditions to create this transition. Download the report here. In early 2025, Countries will need submit their second round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. This is a pivotal opportunity…
• News 15 October 2024 Strengthening Local Capacities for Equitable Energy Transition in Indonesia’s Provinces During two recent missions to Indonesia covering Jakarta and South Sulawesi, experts from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre along with our local partner Dala Institute met with key stakeholders to discuss the energy transition process underway and more importantly the role of provinces in energy planning and implementation. This is particularly crucial as Indonesia is embarking on simultaneous transitions along a low-carbon energy pathway, and economic development in an equitable way. The extent…
• Publication 14 October 2024 Bridging the gap: Sectoral greenhouse gas mitigation potentials in 2035 This report was developed in support of the 2024 Emissions Gap Report (EGR) of UNEP. It provides the analysis and findings that are used as background for the development of Chapter 6 of the EGR 2024: “Bridging the gap: Sectoral transformations, benchmarks, potentials, and needed investments”. The report addresses two critical questions: can the emissions gap identified for 2030 and 2035 be bridged, and what are the most promising mitigation options to do so? To answer these questions, a…
• News 7 October 2024 Zambia: Energy Efficiency Solutions in Public Buildings During a recent mission to Zambia, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre met with key stakeholders and ministries discussing and identifying energy efficient solutions for immediate implementation in Zambia’s public buildings.   Closing data gaps and reviewing building codes  The mission involved productive discussions with the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing, and Urban Development regarding the integration of energy efficiency measures into national building codes. The Ministry…
• Publication 10 May 2024 Powering progress: Market creation strategies for solar e-cooking in off-grid and displaced communities In the pursuit of sustainable development and climate resilience, off-grid solar electric cooking (e-cooking) technologies is a dual solution encompassing both climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Globally, cooking with biomass amounts for as much as 2% of CO2 emissions. Given the rapid advances and price reductions in solar e-cooking technologies, there is an opportunity to scale these solutions to help close the emissions gap and deliver a range of co-benefits in support of…
