- Publication 16 August 2021 Incorporating uncertainty in national-level climate change-mitigation policy: possible elements for a research agenda Decision making for climate change management seldom incorporates uncertainty in the analysis that underpins the policy process. First, uncertainty is seldom characterised fully, and attempts to reduce uncertainty—when this is possible—are rare. Second, scientists are ill-equipped to communicate about uncertainty with policy makers, and policy makers most often favour pretended certainty over nuance and detail. Third, the uncertainty analysis that may have been conducted most often fails to…
- Publication 16 August 2021 The nexus between nationally determined contributions and technology needs assessments: a global analysis The role of technology in combatting climate change through mitigation and adaptation to its inevitable impacts has been acknowledged and highlighted by the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In the developing world, this has received particular attention through the technology needs assessment (TNA) process. As Parties put forward their national pledges to combat climate change, the scarcity of resources makes it important to assess (i) whether…
- News 5 August 2021 An action agenda for Africa’s electricity sector To meet the development needs of a growing population, Africa’s electricity sector requires a major transformation. Despite important changes over the past decade, efforts to expand and modernize the sector need to be redoubled. Indeed, current electrification rates, generation-capacity levels, and security-of-supply indicators underscore that much is yet to be accomplished. A new policy article, published today in Science, identifies five sets of complementary actions to put Africa’s…
- News 21 July 2021 New round of energy efficient LEDs on their way Argentinian municipalities are continuing using and developing a new business model that bundles energy efficient investments. 12 municipalities have now finalised their collective purchase of LEDs for street lighting through the Argentinean Network of Municipalities Against Climate Change (RAMCC) trust fund. The fund is a key pillar of a new innovative financing model for bundling energy efficient investments developed in collaboration with UNEP DTU Partnership’s Copenhagen Centre on Energy…

- Tools 20 July 2021 Mepsy: The Appliance & Equipment Climate Impact Calculator Mepsy is CLASP's digital tool to model the impacts of energy and carbon reduction policies. Pre-loaded with data from 162 countries, it supports analysis and prioritization for the most energy-intensive appliances and equipment.
- Webinar & E-Learning 20 July 2021 Incorporating ESCOs in Nationally Determined Contributions (Webinar) - 07.07.2021 Since the global climate change agenda first dawned, energy efficiency has held out the promise of the most cost-efficient options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It practice, it has delivered poorly on that promise, as recorded evidence from practically all frameworks emerging from the climate change negotiations have shown. Why is that - and can The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement finally change the outlooks? Frauke Röser, founding partner of New…
- Webinar & E-Learning 20 July 2021 Keys to US ESCO Growth: Government Mandates and Risk Management (Webinar) - 08.06.2021 The ESCO Industry in the United States has grown from its original existence into a market size in 2017 of about $7 Billion USD. During this growth, ESCOs have grown in all market segments, but in the United States, predominantly serve the public building market such that in 2014, roughly 92% of all work was with public buildings. As the market has grown, the project sizes have grown as well, with projects for the Federal Government averaging $0.8 Million in the 1990’s to $5.5 Million and…
