• 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,…
• Project 7 November 2018 MAAP tool assessment The Mitigation Action Assessment Protocol (MAAP) tool was developed by the World Bank to promote transparency in how mitigation actions are designed and how they compare in terms of quality of design. The MAAP tool is an assessment tool for identifying strengths and weaknesses in mitigation action design. It allows practitioners to improve the completeness of their Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), enhance transparency of the mitigation action, communicate benefits and…
• Project 7 November 2018 Roadmap to Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in the Livestock Sector of Honduras and Nicaragua Livestock farming in Latin America generates high greenhouse gas emissions but is also the main source of income for vulnerable populations that could be most affected by climate change. In Honduras and Nicaragua, the livestock sector is of great economic importance, occupying more than 30% of the territory. It contributes between 10‐18% of GDP, and is the main livelihood for more than 700,000 people. To address these challenges this project aimed at facilitating a shift towards alternative…
