- News 27 April 2015 TNA project notes successful outcomes in Moldova When the first phase of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project drew to a close in April 2013, Moldova was one of the 36 participating countries that had benefited from the project to identify what kinds of technologies are best suited to their climate change needs. The GEF-funded program, which is implemented by UNEP with the collaboration of UNEP-DTU Partnership, helps countries assess their needs for new equipment, techniques, knowledge, and skills that will both mitigate greenhouse…
- News 16 March 2015 Modernizing District Energy Systems Could Reduce Primary Energy Consumption by up to 50% A transition to modern district energy systems could contribute to 60 per cent of required energy sector emissions reductions by 2050, and reduce primary energy consumption by up to 50 per cent, according to a new report launched by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in collaboration with the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency (C2E2), ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, and UN-Habitat. With cities accounting for 70 per cent of global energy use and for 40-50 per cent…

- News 5 December 2014 UNEP launches first Adaptation Gap Report Lima, Peru, 5 December 2014 – Even if global greenhouse gas emissions are cut to the level required to keep global temperature rise below 2°C this century, the cost of adapting to climate change in developing countries is likely to reach two to three times the previous estimates of $70-100 billion per year by 2050, according to a new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report. Released during a crucial round of climate talks in Lima, Peru, the first UNEP Adaptation Gap Report serves as…

- News 19 November 2014 UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report 2014 launched in Washington Washington D.C., 19 November 2014 – In order to limit global temperature rise to 2°C and head off the worst impacts of climate change, global carbon neutrality should be attained by mid-to-late century. This would also keep in check the maximum amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that can be emitted into the atmosphere while staying within safe temperature limits beyond 2020, says a new report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). Exceeding an estimated budget of just 1,000 gigatonnes of carbon…
