• Webinar & E-Learning 28 July 2025 International ESCO Symposium 2025 - The Role of International Agreements and Supranational Regulation Moderated by Dr. Clara Camarasa (UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre), this panel explored how international agreements and supranational regulations—such as the Paris Agreement and EU directives—drive national energy efficiency targets and how these are translated into actionable frameworks. The session featured insights from representatives of Türkiye, Kosovo, Mauritius, and the Global ESCO Network. Key Themes and Insights Global Frameworks and Their Role Søren Lütken (UNEP, Global…
• 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 26 July 2022 Energy Efficiency Financing Problem: There is a fundamental disconnect between the finance community and energy efficiency. The Mission Efficiency Financing Charette was convened to undo this disconnect. The charette brought together two groups: the world’s finance community (private sector, development banks, philanthropic organisations, climate finance facilities, etc.) and the projects and initiatives. Key message: To address current gaps and facilitate commitments to work together to redefine investing in energy…
• 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 6 February 2020 Embodied carbon in construction materials - the new concern for architects Problem: Production of the currently preferred construction materials for the building industry is one of the largest sources of carbon emissions globally Key message: As buildings become increasingly energy efficient in most parts of the world, the production of the construction materials mostly used - concrete, steel and glass - become the buildings' most severe climate impact. To reduce this climate impact a rethink of the materials that go into construction is necessary.
• Podcast 10 September 2019 Derisking investments into green buildings Problem: Energy efficiency is becoming more and more recognised as a cost-effective mitigation measure for achieving the Paris Agreement and SDGs, however, it is considered a not very tangible, not too sexy, relatively fragmented and small-scale efforts. The question that many actors are facing in the field is to how to bring the scale to Energy Efficiency on the local, national and global level. Key message: Derisking buildings through green mortgages can help to bring scale to energy…
• Webinar & E-Learning 1 August 2019 International Educational Course on SDGs - SDG7 Gabriela Prata Dias is the current Head of the Business Models and Markets strategy at UNEP DTU Partnership and Head at the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency. Her presentation starts with a series of basic and crucial information on energy, from primary energy sources to energy uses. Following, she presents how the international climate regime frames energy efficiency, explaining what is the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly the SDG7. Building off this,…
• Webinar & E-Learning 20 July 2018 Sistemas urbanos de calefacción y refrigeración eficientes – Energía distrital en América del Sur (Webinar) - 01.08.2018 La actual situación energética en los países de la América del Sur necesita un cambio radical: aumentar el uso de fuentes de energía renovables y tener un uso más eficiente de la energía, también alineándose con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 7, 8 y 13. Una de las soluciones más interesante (y necesaria) es el desarrollo de sistemas urbanos eficientes para calefacción y refrigeración, a través de proyectos de energía distrital. Durante este seminario Web, los panelistas presentaran los…
