- Webinar & E-Learning 6 July 2018 Efficient Mobility: Electrification in Maritime Transportation (Webinar) - 24.07.2018 Among the various transport modes, shipping is one of the most efficient cargo transport. Yet, the significant growth of seaborne trade increased the energy consumption of shipping, despite of the improvement in the energy efficiency of shipping engines. According to the International Maritime Association, global fuel shipping consumption increased from 291 to 298 million tonnes (+2.4%) from 2013 to 2015. Thus, the global shipping emissions amplified quantitatively. Check our webinar to know…
- News 2 July 2018 Energy Efficiency Investment at the Municipal Level - Time to Think Bigger By Mark Lister, Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency. Global targets for emissions reductions set forth in the Paris Climate Agreement have put energy efficiency high on the political, industrial and social agenda. Energy efficiency at a global level is an essential response to climate change and fundamental to achieving the goals of the 2015 Paris climate agreement. But energy efficiency is not only about saving our climate. Multiple benefits arise from energy efficiency actions, including…
- News 26 June 2018 Global partners kick off Technology Needs Assessment Round 3 With new partners on board, UNEP DTU Partnership has launched its third round of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project. To enhance the development, transfer, deployment and dissemination of technology UNEP DTU has assisted countries in preparing their TNAs since 2009. TNAs support developing countries to determine their own climate technology needs so it is possible to define how best to accelerate a low-emission, climate resilient and sustainable development path. Since 2009, UNEP DTU…

- News 18 June 2018 Waste-to-energy where it is needed the most Waste management and access to energy services are important development issues throughout the world. In humanitarian contexts however, they are often not sufficiently considered. Current solutions tend to address the immediate needs, but do not always consider the longer-term impacts and future needs. Insufficient supply of energy and unsafe waste disposal, including pollution of water resources make public health threats and environmental problems even worse for people who are already at risk…
- News 4 June 2018 Transport Summit DTU: Where are the Indian EVs? Globally many countries are moving towards more electric vehicles (EVs) on the streets and worldwide the share of EVs has increased to more than 1%. In India, the government has also prioritised EVs in their nationally determined contribution (NDC). There is a favourable national climate when it comes to EVs, and the national government is pushing for electrification of transport. A lot of incentives are being provided to bring down the initial purchase costs. Usually this should translate into…
- News 24 May 2018 Highlights from EE Global - Day 2 Highlights from the second day of EE Global, which gathered hundreds of high-level energy efficiency leaders at the Odd Fellow Palace in Copenhagen for a day of learning, networking and inspiring conversations on energy efficiency. Day Two of EE Global started with a call to action from Alliance President Jason Hartke, conveying the message to the audience gathered at Copenhagen’s elegant Odd Fellow Palace that “energy efficiency is the answer and the opportunity” for addressing carbon…
- News 23 May 2018 UNECE explores ways to increase investments in energy efficiency at the EE Global 2018 Improving energy efficiency can bring multiple economic, social and environmental benefits and is widely viewed as one of the most effective ways to accelerate progress towards the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement. Investments in energy efficiency are increasing globally and have reached over USD 231 billion in 2016, constituting 12 percent of total energy investments. However, much of the potential for energy efficiency improvement remains…
