- 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…
- News 4 August 2023 Tunisia adds cost model to climate action tool-box Climate action that drastically cuts emissions is more needed than ever as countries everywhere are looking for the best climate policies to reach the global climate goals. With an in-depth training session in the use of the Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO), Tunisia now has a tool that allows to analyze and compare mitigation actions (before being carried out) in terms of their abatement costs and emissions reduction potential. GACMO can be used to prepare GHG emissions projections …
- News 3 August 2023 From waste to wheels: Transforming Jordan's transport sector A concrete project concept to reshape Jordan's transport sector was presented in Amman in July. The aim is to convert Jordan’s waste collection fleet to run on bio compressed natural gas (bio-CNG) instead of diesel, using methane captured from landfills as sustainable transport fuel. The concept outlines how to convert biomethane into bio-CNG, transforming waste into a valuable transport fuel and to initially upgrade the country’s waste collection trucks, significantly reducing Jordan’s…

- Event 30 May 2023 District Cooling Webinar Series (Part I): Evolution of DC in Gulf Cities The rising cooling demand is a pressing concern for energy planners in the GCC region, contributing to higher natural gas consumption in power generation and reducing the prospects for exports. District cooling is increasingly seen as an alternative to conventional cooling due to its lower energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions. The district cooling capacity has expanded exponentially in the last decade, and regulatory frameworks are emerging across major cities in the Gulf region. The…
