- Publication 9 June 2025 Towards implementing urban Nature-based Solutions in Zambia and Mauritius Climate change and rapid urbanization are central challenges to sustainable development in cities of low and middle-income countries. Nature-based Solutions can address these challenges and offer environmental and social benefits over traditional engineered solutions, and in practice co-exist and positively complement engineered solutions. However, the uptake of NbS in urban planning remains limited and implementation faces several barriers. The need to create enabling environments that…
- Publication 9 June 2025 Towards Implementing Nature-Based Solutions in Mauritius The challenges of climate change and rapid urbanization present central obstacles to sustainable development in cities of low- and middle-income countries. Urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) receive growing attention as potential remedies for these challenges because they offer environmental and social co-benefits in comparison to conventional grey or engineered solutions. In practice, NbS co-exist and positively complement conventional grey or engineered solutions. Pluvial flooding, flash…
- Event 3 June 2025 SB62 Side Event: Technology Action Plan for Energy Systems Transformation Background As countries move towards more ambitious and investment-ready climate plans (NDCs 3.0), the role of nationally-endorsed technology priorities and implementation pathways becomes increasingly vital. Technology Action Plans (TAP), key outputs of the Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) process under the UNFCCC, assist countries in their technology planning and roadmapping. TAPs help translate national mitigation and adaptation technology priorities into concrete actions and project ideas…
- Event 27 May 2025 E-Training Programme on Energy Efficiency in Buildings in Zambia and Mauritius Improving energy efficiency in buildings is a critical step toward reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing energy security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like Africa. As buildings are among the largest energy consumers, integrating energy-efficient strategies not only reduces environmental impact but also contributes to long-term cost savings, improved occupant comfort, and sustainable development. This three-day virtual training programme explores key…

- Publication 26 May 2025 NDC Private Sector Investment Strategy Belize’s updated NDC (2021) sets ambitious targets for both adaptation and mitigation aimed at achieving 5,647 KtCO2e of emission reductions between 2021 and 2030 compared to a business-as-usual scenario, while building resilience, adapting and minimizing loss and damage due to the impacts of climate change. To achieve this, a wide range of mitigation and adaptation measures have been identified. The total cost estimate for the implementation of the proposed NDC measures is US$1,712 million,…
- Event 26 May 2025 Webinar Series: Advancing Waste Management through Carbon Markets in Pakistan Following the success of the first webinar, which introduced the fundamental concepts of carbon markets and Article 6 and discussed project development in Pakistan, the second webinar will delve deeper into the waste management sector. The sector is a critical area of focus for Pakistan's climate action efforts. As urbanization and industrialization continue to rise, the country faces increasing pressure to manage its waste effectively, particularly to mitigate the methane emissions from…
- News 23 May 2025 Malawi Charts a Greener Financial Future In a move that could serve as a model for climate-vulnerable nations across Africa, the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) has responded to the climate crisis by expanding its role in greening the financial sector. The initiative, supported by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and funded by the NDC Partnership, culminated in the release of a feasibility study and internal roadmap that lay out a phased, actionable plan for accounting for climate-related financial risk in…
