• Project 7 December 2018 Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions for Low Carbon Island Development Strategy The objective of this project is to ensure a low carbon economy development pathway for Mauritius by establishing the national capacity for formulating, prioritizing mitigation actions to implement Mauritius’ Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for all mitigation sectors and further develop the local capacity to design and implement mitigation actions relevant for the energy sector. The project is structured into three components, as follows: Component 1: Strengthen national capability to…
• News 27 November 2018 Nations must triple ambition to reach 2°C target, concludes the new Emissions Gap Report Global emissions are on the rise as national commitments to combat climate change come up short. In fact, the gap between the climate ambitions of the world and the effort needed to reach the targets in the Paris Agreement has increased. These findings along with a sweeping review of climate action and the latest measurements of global emissions are the key findings of the 2018 Emissions Gap Report published today. The report annually presents a definitive assessment of the so-called 'emissions…
• Project 13 November 2018 NAMA for sugar mills in Mexico Sugar mills in Mexico produce more than 15 million tons of bagasse every year. While this by-product of sugar production is used as fuel in sugar mills, half of it is usually wasted through inefficient incineration. This means that its power production potential of up to 3000 GWh/year is lost. UNEP DTU Partnership  has developed a financial structure with a central SPV (special Purpose Vehicle)  to finance, construct and operate the connection of Mexican sugar mills to the national…
• News 13 November 2018 Achieving low-carbon and climate resilient development in Small Island Developing States Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are highly vulnerable to climate change risks and face unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to climate technology choices and investment options. Due to their vulnerability, the transfer, uptake and diffusion of key technologies is central to achieving the political vision of low-carbon and climate resilient development in SIDS. UNEP DTU Partnership is conducting climate change Technology Needs Assessments in eight SIDS (Antigua and Barbuda,…

• 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…
• Project 11 October 2018 A policy framework for non-motorised transport in Rajkot, India Public transport and non-motorized transport can be up to 20 times more space-efficient than private cars. This is particularly relevant in an urban context where space is a constrained resource. Yet space use is rarely assessed explicitly in urban transport planning, the connection between low carbon transport planning agendas and the wider concept of ecological footprint is not widely understood or appreciated. And there exists no standard method for quantifying the use of space in complex…
• Project 30 September 2018 Electric Mobility Electric vehicles (EVs) are seen as a promising technology option by several countries for reducing air pollution in cities, improving energy security and creating green jobs. EVs are also recognised as a serious option for mitigation of CO2 emissions from the transport sector and the integration of renewable energy in the electricity sector. The market share of EVs crossed the 1% mark in a few developed countries in 2017 due to stable policies and incentives. However, with the exception…
