- News 7 December 2023 TNA IV countries moving on to barrier analysis and enabling frameworks A group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are well on their way to developing concrete action plans for climate technology implementation. As part of the fourth round of the global Technology Needs Assessment project (TNA) the fifteen participating countries have now almost all prioritized their key sectors and climate technologies for adaptation and mitigation, and have moved on to the crucial second TNA step of identifying barriers to increased…
- Event 4 December 2023 Findings of Readiness and Needs Assessment for Article 6 in Pakistan Pakistan has started various projects to prepare for participation in carbon trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The country aims to use carbon markets as a viable tool to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change while pursuing sustainable development. Hence, Pakistan sought the collaboration of “Supporting Preparedness for Article 6 Cooperation” (SPAR6C) Programme. SPAR6C has worked with Pakistan to develop a Needs and Readiness Assessment to identify existing gaps and…
- News 30 November 2023 Meet UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre at COP28 Together with our partners, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre joins the efforts to prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5C and protect our planet and people from the intensifying impacts of climate change. COP28 marks the conclusion of the first Global Stocktake, the main mechanism to assess progress under the Paris Agreement to help align the efforts on climate action and bridge the gaps in progress. At COP28, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre will engage in a broad range of events and…
- Event 29 November 2023 Assessing the Transformational Impact of Climate Actions The concept of transformational change has gained traction among climate change and sustainable development decision makers and practitioners, due to the radical changes required to meet the global goals for climate and sustainable development. This transition involves a fundamental shift from current practices to a new, more sustainable paradigm, encompassing social, economic, and environmental dimensions. This event will delve into the concept of transformational change, with a…
- Event 28 November 2023 Climate Adaptation in Asia-Pacific: Enhancing Coastal Resilience in Bangladesh and Vietnam Climate Change Adaptation is crucial to mitigate the adverse impact of changing climatic conditions on ecosystems, human lives and infrastructures. It involves implementing strategies to enhance resilience, protect biodiversity, ensure food and water security, manage water resources, safeguard infrastructure, and promote economic stability in the face of climate change hazards and disruptions. The Government of Bangladesh has been proactive and adept in climate change adaptation. In order to…
- Event 28 November 2023 UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2023: Informing the Global Stocktake The event will highlight key findings from the Emissions Gap Report 2023, focusing on addressing the emissions gap in 2030 and beyond. UNEP's 14th Emission Gap Report assesses the disparity between current global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trajectories and the 2030/2035 targets required for achieving the Paris Agreement's temperature goal. Emphasizing the importance of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees, with a preference for 1.5 degrees, the report delves into energy transitions in…
- Event 28 November 2023 Acceleration models for Energy-Efficiency in developing countries Industries are responsible for 23% of global emissions. Their focus is on core business, not on energy efficiency. While their emissions are to some extent increasingly being regulated, there are no limits to their energy consumption. Indeed, historically, their energy demand has been regarded as a sign of progress and development. Such energy extravagance puts strain on energy systems, require upscaling of energy infrastructure and ultimately raises prices on energy. Models exist and are being…
- Event 28 November 2023 Enhancing transparency for climate action Transparency forms the Paris Agreement's backbone, outlined by the Enhanced Transparency Framework for both developed and developing nations. Effective use of Article 6 cooperative approaches necessitates proper accounting, aligning with national transparency frameworks. This event will spotlight successful national practices in establishing such frameworks for mitigation and adaptation, contributing to sustainable development goals and elevating climate ambition globally. It offers a platform…
