- News 23 April 2024 Enhancing Ethiopia's Climate Action Capacity Measuring and tracking the impacts of planned climate actions, and managing related finance flows is vital for successful climate action. This is also the case for Ethiopia, where the country is now, after implementing an ICAT project, better placed to estimate the emission reduction potential of possible mitigation actions and their related costs, and establish a tracking framework to see the realized reductions of implemented policies. Additionally, Ethiopia is armed to manage and track its…

- 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…
