- Publication 7 September 2022 Frequently Asked Questions on Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting - Catalogue Despite abundant rainfall occurring in two seasons per year in most of Uganda, and over 70% of houses with hard roof surface across the country, the adoption of rooftop rainwater harvesting (RRWH) technology is very low. Very few houses have provisions for channelling and storing rainwater for future use. This is owing to limited awareness, information gaps about the tech-nology, cost, and lack of incentives. To address some of these limitations, several initiatives towards accelerat-ing the…
- Publication 7 September 2022 Closing the feedback loop – Lessons from UNCDF’s Renewable Energy Challenge Fund in Uganda UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, with support from Denmark’s development cooperation is implementing the 3-year Technology, Markets and Investment for Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Development (TEMARIN) project in Kenya and Uganda. The project aims to: 1) analyze successful case studies of market-led interventions and mechanisms in Kenya and identify key learnings; 2) support technology transfer partnerships in a select climate mitigation and adaptation technology in Uganda; and 3) understand…
- News 7 September 2022 Promoting rainwater harvesting Access to water is a human right, but as temperatures continue to rise due to the climate crisis, so does water scarcity. Rooftop rainwater harvesting can play a key part of adaptation efforts to ensure safe and accessible water, and in Uganda UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre has worked with government and private sector to form the Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting Alliance. As well as working closely with the alliance, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre has also published a market brief highlighting the…
- News 31 August 2022 New classification of the world’s coastlines to improve climate action The Coastal Hazard Wheel, with a new classification of the world’s coastlines, has been released to improve coastal climate change adaptation at local, regional and national level and strengthen coordinated climate action worldwide. The classification builds on the Coastal Hazard Wheel that is a universal coastal management framework and is developed by the Coastal Hazard Wheel initiative involving Deltares, the UN Environment Programme-DHI Centre (UNEP-DHI Centre) and the UNEP Copenhagen…
- Publication 11 August 2022 Market feasibility study of e-bus deployment in Accra and Kumasi Transport is a significant emitter of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollutants in most cities in Ghana. Road transport alone contributes 45.4% to total fuel combustion emissions and accounts for 13% of the overall national GHG emissions in 2016, showing a rising trend of 42% in the last ten years. Of the total road transport GHG emissions of 6,051.4 metric tonnes in 2016, buses account for 21%. Also, buses account for 17% of the total PM2.5 emissions in the country. Transition to…
