- Project 24 August 2023 Policy and partnerships for sustainability and climate action at the Last Mile Currently, more than 1.5% of the global population are forcibly displaced. Now at over 120 million people this is nearly double the number from a decade ago, with women and girls being the most affected. If current trends and drivers of displacement remain then this number is likely to increase, with up to 216 million people internally displaced by environmental crises alone by 2050. These figures from UNEP’s Foresights Report (2024) show how multiple crises of conflict,…
- Webinar & E-Learning 29 April 2023 How Green is “Green Hydrogen”? The differences between Green, Low-Carbon and Renewable Hydrogen (Webinar) - 27.04.2023 There are various ways in which Hydrogen can be produced, with corresponding differences in environmental impact. These differences are classified as Hydrogen Colours, though these do not equate to a clear difference in greenhouse emissions. Hence a plethora of related terms like “Renewable Hydrogen”, “Low-Carbon Hydrogen” and “Clean Hydrogen” are often used. It is therefore important to ask the following questions, which we cover in this presentation: Is “Green Hydrogen” a standard term, used…

- Event 7 April 2023 Empowering the energy transition: energy cooperatives and energy communities (Webinar) Although a nascent business model, today energy cooperatives and energy communities cover already a wide range of activities in renewable energies and energy efficiency in several countries. These are local and citizen-led initiatives that put in common investment means and democratic principles to implement the energy transition. Decentralized renewables and small-scale energy efficiency can quickly materialise and become a solution to energy security and to decarbonisation, and benefit from…
- News 24 March 2023 Energy efficiency for a liveable future The global climate crisis is threatening every human on the planet. Every increase in warming results in escalating hazards. More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall and other weather extremes further increase risks for human health and ecosystems, affecting vulnerable populations the most. The good news is that there are several possible ways to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, and they are available now. This is one of the main conclusions of the latest report from the…
- Project 21 March 2023 Accelerating Climate Technology Transition (ACTT) UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is working with national stakeholders including technology solution providers, distributors, end-users, customers, policy makers and potential investors to generate market assessments, concepts, and financing models relevant for increasing uptake and investment into specific ‘ready to market’ climate technology solutions. Accelerating Climate Technology Transition (ACTT) aims to foster diffusion of nationally prioritized technologies for climate mitigation (such…
- News 13 March 2023 Botswana gears up for climate transparency Botswana is getting ready to strengthen climate action transparency with support for implementation and tracking emissions. With assistance from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), Botswana has completed phase one of a project through the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT), and the results were presented in a Final validation workshop in Gaborone in February 2023. Key stakeholders engaged in useful…
- News 10 March 2023 From plans to implementation Technologies are critical to our response to the climate crisis, and climate technologies play an integral part in national climate plans. But how do we move from Technology Action Plans, developed under the TNA project to actual implementation, and what actually works and creates real change? These were some of the questions discussed during the recent TNA global workshop held in Bangkok. During the workshop successful examples of implementation were shared between countries which…
