- Webinar & E-Learning 27 December 2023 Global consolidated ESCO Policy advice (Webinar) - 28.11.2023 The Advisory Board of the Global ESCO Network has been developing a policy advice package central to healthy ESCO services markets. After a round of hearings among our partners, the policy advice is now consolidated. At this webinar, Pierre Langlois, the Global ESCO Network’s co-chair, officially launches the advice and introduces its components and its motivation. It is our hope and belief that a suite of policy components endorsed by the global network of ESCO associations is a useful tool…
- Publication 1 June 2023 Energy efficiency in green finance taxonomies This policy brief provides answers to two questions. First, why energy efficiency investments continue to represent a marginal share of green investment volumes, even though energy efficiency improvements are among the most prominent investment categories in green finance taxonomies. Second, what corrective actions governments can take, especially with regard to developing-country supply chains. The intended primary audiences of this document are investors and developers of green…
- Publication 10 January 2023 Mitigation in the AFOLU sector: A compendium for national policymakers The compendium informs policymakers and technical experts at national and subnational levels involved with the UNFCCC process about the opportunities for and challenges related to climate change mitigation in the agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFOLU) sector.
- Webinar & E-Learning 25 November 2022 District Energy - A Case study of Floating Office in Rotterdam (Webinar) - 06.10.2022 Floating Office Rotterdam is the largest floating office in the world. Off-grid and carbon-neutral, it floats if water levels rise due to climate change. The heat pump with surface water heat exchange is one of the innovations that showcases the building’s mission for climate change. The heat/cold generation is supplied by 2 heat pumps which are placed in the floating building’s pontoon. The pontoon consists of 15 similar prefab concrete floating boxes, with a heat-generating network of tubes…
- 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 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…
- Publication 14 September 2021 Indigenous Peoples and Climate Technologies This guidebook is produced as part of the GEF-Funded Global Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Project, which is implemented by UNEP and UNEP DTU Partnership. Since 2009, close to one hundred countries have joined the Global TNA Project. Indigenous peoples’ knowledge of climate resilience and their global contribution to a sustainable management of our shared natural resources are critical to combating climate change and its impacts. Yet, their contribution often remains unacknowledged, and too…
