- 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…
- Event 27 June 2022 Upscaling E-Mobility in Developing Countries for Climate Mitigation (Webinar) 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…

- News 12 May 2022 Kenya Unveils Ambitious Action Plan for Energy Efficiency and Conservation Key national and international stakeholders gathered this week to validate the Implementation Plan of Kenya’s ambitious Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy. The strategy was developed by a Technical Committee consisting of representatives of key stakeholders from government agencies and businesses under the guidance of the Ministry of Energy along with experts from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC). As the Energy Efficiency Hub of SEforALL, UNEP-CCC has provided technical…
- 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…
- News 17 March 2022 How to attract climate finance for clean cooking Greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of woodfuels for cooking account for 2% of global emissions, equivalent to those from the international aviation sector. Further, 50% of black carbon emissions come from household energy use and 27-34% of global woodfuel harvesting is defined as unsustainable. In a recorded presentation entitled “Strategic ideas for Malawi to attract finance for clean cooking”, senior researcher Karen Olsen gave a recorded presentation in support of transformational…
- News 28 February 2022 NEW IPCC report: Taking action now can secure our future Human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world, despite efforts to reduce the risks. People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, released today. “This report is a dire warning about the consequences of inaction,” said Hoesung Lee, Chair of the IPCC. “It shows that climate change is a grave…
