• News 4 April 2022 IPCC: The time for action is now In 2010 -2019 average annual global greenhouse gas emissions were at their highest levels in human history, but the rate of growth has slowed. Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is beyond reach. However, there is increasing evidence of climate action, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released today. Since 2010, there have been sustained decreases of up to 85% in the costs of…
• Webinar & E-Learning 14 October 2021 Closing the Energy Efficiency Knowledge Gaps (Webinar) – 24.09.2021 Energy efficiency – the low hanging fruit of climate action – needs to be improved, but it requires the right mix of skills and knowledge Improving energy efficiency is widely recognised as a key element and a low hanging fruit in addressing climate change while at the same time contributing to sustainable development. Specifically, energy management represents a significant opportunity for building, transport, industrial-commercial, and other sectors to reduce their energy use while…

• Podcast 29 November 2019 Geographic Information System (GIS) applications for scaling up energy efficiency Problem: Geographic Information Systems or Geographic Information Science (GIS) has the potential to be more and more used in energy planning processes. From studies on energy access to grid analytics, researchers and practitioners in the field of sustainable energy have started to recognise to potential of this system. Nevertheless, energy efficiency studies and applications are not as present and, consequently, GIS remains still an abstract concept. However, the deployment of GIS for energy…
• News 9 October 2019 Urban mobility under transformation Today, more than 50% of the world’s population live in urban areas. As more than two billion people will be added to the global population in the coming decades and urban populations continue to grow, the question arises: how can people and the goods they require be moved more efficiently than they are today? Today, the transport sector accounts for almost two-thirds of global energy consumption. It produces approximately one-third of global energy-related CO2 emissions and is the primary…
• News 5 September 2019 Blockchain hackathon win for UNEP DTU Partnership researcher Innovative technologies and solutions are needed to reach the goals set out in the Paris Agreement if we are to reach our goals of a climate resilient world. Combining UNEP DTU Partnership research in blockchain technology with practical application of the technology resulted in a first place at a blockchain hackathon at the European Blockchain Center. UNEP DTU Partnership PhD researcher Marco Schletz was part of the team that worked on a use case presented by the EU Commission to develop “real…
• News 8 November 2018 Carving the way forward for urban transport in India How can we create an ecosystem, where electric vehicles are the most frequent means of transportation in India? A sustainable transportation system contributing to climate change mitigation as well as improved air quality and increased mobility for all Indians? At the annual flagship event Urban Mobility India these questions, among many others were asked and answers were offered by experts, stakeholders and policymakers. UNEP DTU Partnership has been participating in the Urban Mobility India…
• Webinar & E-Learning 6 July 2018 Efficient Mobility: Electrification in Maritime Transportation (Webinar) - 24.07.2018 Among the various transport modes, shipping is one of the most efficient cargo transport. Yet, the significant growth of seaborne trade increased the energy consumption of shipping, despite of the improvement in the energy efficiency of shipping engines. According to the International Maritime Association, global fuel shipping consumption increased from 291 to 298 million tonnes (+2.4%) from 2013 to 2015. Thus, the global shipping emissions amplified quantitatively. Check our webinar to know…
