- News 7 December 2023 TNA IV countries moving on to barrier analysis and enabling frameworks A group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are well on their way to developing concrete action plans for climate technology implementation. As part of the fourth round of the global Technology Needs Assessment project (TNA) the fifteen participating countries have now almost all prioritized their key sectors and climate technologies for adaptation and mitigation, and have moved on to the crucial second TNA step of identifying barriers to increased…
- News 30 November 2023 Meet UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre at COP28 Together with our partners, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre joins the efforts to prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5C and protect our planet and people from the intensifying impacts of climate change. COP28 marks the conclusion of the first Global Stocktake, the main mechanism to assess progress under the Paris Agreement to help align the efforts on climate action and bridge the gaps in progress. At COP28, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre will engage in a broad range of events and…
- Event 28 November 2023 UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2023: Informing the Global Stocktake The event will highlight key findings from the Emissions Gap Report 2023, focusing on addressing the emissions gap in 2030 and beyond. UNEP's 14th Emission Gap Report assesses the disparity between current global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trajectories and the 2030/2035 targets required for achieving the Paris Agreement's temperature goal. Emphasizing the importance of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees, with a preference for 1.5 degrees, the report delves into energy transitions in…
- Event 28 November 2023 Acceleration models for Energy-Efficiency in developing countries Industries are responsible for 23% of global emissions. Their focus is on core business, not on energy efficiency. While their emissions are to some extent increasingly being regulated, there are no limits to their energy consumption. Indeed, historically, their energy demand has been regarded as a sign of progress and development. Such energy extravagance puts strain on energy systems, require upscaling of energy infrastructure and ultimately raises prices on energy. Models exist and are being…
- Event 28 November 2023 Greening procurement of Energy Services One of the key obstacles to procuring improved energy efficiency is the contractual arrangements with Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), which are based on ‘Energy Performance Contracting’. In many jurisdictions, they are seen as a hybrid between a services contract and a goods contract. It is often challenging to adopt this duality, which ultimately ends up standing in the way of investment in improved energy efficiency. This event presents UNOPS as a possible mediator of this challenge by…
- Event 28 November 2023 Lessons Learned from Reporting on Article 13 within the Mutual Learning Programme in Eurasia, Central Asia and the Caucasus The Mutual Learning Programme (MLP) for Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), supported by the Ministry of Environment of Japan and implemented by IGES, Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting in close collaboration with the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency – Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP), aims to support the countries in their understanding how to apply the reporting guidance under Article 6 and 13, explore improvement areas of the climate reporting under the UNFCCC as well…
- Event 28 November 2023 What we need from the Global Stocktake – Insights from the latest UNEP Emissions Gap Report and UNFCCC NDC Synthesis Report This joint UNFCCC and UNEP event features high-level opening remarks from UNEPs Executive Director and UNFCCCs Executive Secretary and a presentation of the key findings of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2023. This is followed by a panel discussion on what we need from the Global Stocktake, and how we can we speed up climate action and implementation this decade. The event draws on two recent UNEP and UNFCCC reports that both aim to inform the concluding discussions of the first global stocktake…
- Event 28 November 2023 Accelerating Energy Transition in Asia - The role of incentive policies, innovative technologies, and SDG commitments Asia is a key region for accelerating the energy transition. But it may come with social, financial and environmental challenges that need to be better understood to ensure a just transition. This event will discuss these challenges and focus on how Nordic-based institutions, Asian organizations, governments and the private sector can cooperate through incentive policies and innovative technologies with a holistic sustainability focus. Speakers: Gabriela Prata Dias, UNEP Copenhagen…
