• Event 12 April 2023 How Green is “Green Hydrogen”? The differences between Green, Low-Carbon and Renewable Hydrogen (Webinar) There are various ways in which Hydrogen can be produced, with corresponding differences in environmental impact. These differences are classified as Hydrogen Colours, though these do not equate to a clear difference in greenhouse emissions. Hence a plethora of related terms like “Renewable Hydrogen”, “Low-Carbon Hydrogen” and “Clean Hydrogen” are often used. It is therefore important to ask the following questions, which we will cover in this presentation: Is “Green Hydrogen” a standard term,…
• Event 7 April 2023 Empowering the energy transition: energy cooperatives and energy communities (Webinar) Although a nascent business model, today energy cooperatives and energy communities cover already a wide range of activities in renewable energies and energy efficiency in several countries. These are local and citizen-led initiatives that put in common investment means and democratic principles to implement the energy transition. Decentralized renewables and small-scale energy efficiency can quickly materialise and become a solution to energy security and to decarbonisation, and benefit from…
• News 24 March 2023 Energy efficiency for a liveable future The global climate crisis is threatening every human on the planet. Every increase in warming results in escalating hazards. More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall and other weather extremes further increase risks for human health and ecosystems, affecting vulnerable populations the most. The good news is that there are several possible ways to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, and they are available now. This is one of the main conclusions of the latest report from the…
• Tools 22 March 2023 GACMO tool Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO) Calculating current and future greenhouse gas emissions is a prerequisite for countries to inform political decisions concerning climate action. It is also the foundation for transparent and credible climate action at national and global levels. The GACMO (Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost Model) is a greenhouse gas emissions projections tool developed over more than twenty years by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. It allows countries to…
• Project 21 March 2023 Accelerating Climate Technology Transition (ACTT) UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is working with national stakeholders including technology solution providers, distributors, end-users, customers, policy makers and potential investors to generate market assessments, concepts, and financing models relevant for increasing uptake and investment into specific ‘ready to market’ climate technology solutions. Accelerating Climate Technology Transition (ACTT) aims to foster diffusion of nationally prioritized technologies for climate mitigation (such…
• Publication 17 March 2023 Final Report - Promoting transformational change through carbon markets A transition to sustainable development and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions is key to achieve the temperature limits established by the Paris Agreement (PA) and the global sustainable development goals (SDGs) agreed in the 2030 Agenda. To explore how carbon market approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can contribute to the transformational change required by these global agreements, the German Environment Agency (UBA) has commissioned UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre in…
• News 13 March 2023 Botswana gears up for climate transparency Botswana is getting ready to strengthen climate action transparency with support for implementation and tracking emissions. With assistance from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), Botswana has completed phase one of a project through the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT), and the results were presented in a Final validation workshop in Gaborone in February 2023. Key stakeholders engaged in useful…
• News 24 February 2023 First steps for Colombia in the Article 6 Community of Practice Trading emissions in the global Article 6 carbon market has the potential to improve the cost-effectiveness of climate action, contributing to the much needed increase in both mitigation and adaptation efforts. In Colombia, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is leading the work with the academic community to see how to build the needed capacity for applied research to ensure the best outcomes of trading emissions under the Paris Agreement’s Article 6. The work in Colombia is part of the efforts…
