• Podcast 2 September 2024 Heat Waves: Energy Efficiency and Nature-Based Solutions Problem: Heat waves are becoming increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change, posing significant threats to public health, the environment, and the energy infrastructure. Urban areas, with their dense populations and heat-absorbing surfaces, are particularly vulnerable. The rising demand for cooling during these periods strains energy systems, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbating the problem. Traditional cooling methods often rely on energy-intensive…
• News 11 August 2023 Innovative cold room initiative aims to transform food storage and boost livelihoods A new cooling initiative is poised to change the way food is stored and traded in Homabay County, Kenya, as the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre partners with local stakeholders on an innovative cold room project. The venture, a part of the EU-Horizon SESA project, not only seeks to curb food waste and related emissions but also aims to improve livelihoods of smallholder traders and wholesalers, which are predominantly women. A significant 31 percent of food never reaches consumers, resulting in…
• Publication 17 July 2023 Green and blue spaces Energy efficiency and nature‐based solutions can help cities combat excessive heat amid rising temperatures. Energy efficiency mitigates excessive heat, whereas nature‐based solutions adapt and withstand it. Better construction, building energy efficiency, and sustainable transportation policy, planning, and technology can help cities cope with high heat. Reduced energy consumption reduces greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Nature‐based solutions, such as green roofs, green walls,…
