• News 10 September 2021 New guidebook: Climate Tech in an urban context New guidebook: Climate Tech in an urban context Cities account for an ever increasing part of the world's consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. New guide shows way to active participation in green tech transfer and climate action. Cities are not only home to growing consumption and production activities, making them large consumers of energy and major greenhouse gas emitters, they also face major challenges from climate change impacts, including heatwaves, pluvial and river flooding,…
• Publication 9 September 2021 Climate technologies in an urban context This guidebook is produced as part of the GEF-Funded Global Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Project, which is implemented by UNEP and UNEP DTU Partnership. Since 2009, close to one hundred countries have joined the Global TNA Project. Urban areas are home to an increasingly large share of the world’s population. As a result, a growing proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions are stemming from activities located in cities and towns, where many of the adverse impacts of global warming are…
• News 8 September 2021 Climate Finance training - transparency and reporting workshop Last week 30 participants from Panama including the Minister of Energy, national bank representatives and technical teams from the Panamanian ministry of environment as well as NDC counterparts in other ministries, joined the climate finance training of The Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP), facilitated by UNEP DTU Partnership experts. Through a webinar followed by two workshops, the training covered introductions, discussions, and group work on concepts such as reporting methodologies,…
• Project 1 September 2021 The Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) UNEP DTU is an implementing partner of the project “Climate Enhancement Package (CAEP) financed by the NDC Partnership.CAEP assists developing countries, members of the NDC Partnership, in achieving two overarching objectives: Objective 1. Enhance NDCs, including by raising ambition, as part of the Paris Agreement’s NDC update process; Objective 2. Fast-track implementation of NDCs, including by providing in-country technical expertise and capacity building. The CAEP intends to catalyze…
• Publication 25 August 2021 Evolution of the minimum mortality temperature (1983–2018): Is Spain adapting to heat? The objective of this study was to analyze at the level of Spain’s 52 provinces province level the temporal evolution of minimum mortality temperatures (MMT) from 1983 to 2018, in order to determine whether the increase in MMT would be sufficient to compensate for the increase in environmental temperatures in Spain for the period. It also aimed to analyze whether the rate of evolution of MMT would be sufficient, were it to remain constant, to compensate for the predicted increase in…
• Publication 16 August 2021 The Adaptation Gap Report - a Preliminary Assessment This first Adaptation Gap report provides an equally sobering assessment of the gap between adaptation needs and reality, based on preliminary thinking on how baselines, future goals or targets, and gaps between them might be defined for climate change adaptation. The report focuses on gaps in developing countries in three important areas: finance, technology and knowledge.
• Publication 16 August 2021 Measures for the Diffusion of Solar PV are Aligned in Technology Action Plans for Six Countries in Africa Recently, development projects have provided support to governments to facilitate technology transfer for climate change adaptation and mitigation. These include the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). In the TNA project, which was implemented in ten African countries from 2010 to 2013, dedicated government committees have prioritized climate change mitigation technologies and developed action plans for the diffusion of the selected technologies…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Guidance for NAMA Design - building on country experiences Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) represent a valuable opportunity for developing countries to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while remaining true to their sustainable development priorities and needs. Many countries are already taking steps to use NAMAs as instruments for participating in the global mitigation agenda and as a means of leveraging national and international support for more effective and transformational climate actions. National governments, multilateral…
