• News 15 September 2022 Sustainable charcoal saves rainforests Charcoal is a major cooking fuel in Cambodia and throughout the world. However, its production has been linked to threatening pristine rainforest and driving deforestation in many developing countries. Primarily because the production of charcoal in developing countries is largely reliant on illegal logging of natural forests. Nonetheless, a quick replacement with emission free cooking - like electric cooking based on 100% renewables – is impossible. The scale of the challenge is simply too big…

• News 7 September 2022 Promoting rainwater harvesting Access to water is a human right, but as temperatures continue to rise due to the climate crisis, so does water scarcity. Rooftop rainwater harvesting can play a key part of adaptation efforts to ensure safe and accessible water, and in Uganda UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre has worked with government and private sector to form the Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting Alliance. As well as working closely with the alliance, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre has also published a market brief highlighting the…
• Publication 7 September 2022 Frequently Asked Questions on Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting - Catalogue Despite abundant rainfall occurring in two seasons per year in most of Uganda, and over 70% of houses with hard roof surface across the country, the adoption of rooftop rainwater harvesting (RRWH) technology is very low. Very few houses have provisions for channelling and storing rainwater for future use. This is owing to limited awareness, information gaps about the tech-nology, cost, and lack of incentives. To address some of these limitations, several initiatives towards accelerat-ing the…
• Publication 7 September 2022 Closing the feedback loop – Lessons from UNCDF’s Renewable Energy Challenge Fund in Uganda UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, with support from Denmark’s development cooperation is implementing the 3-year Technology, Markets and Investment for Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Development (TEMARIN) project in Kenya and Uganda. The project aims to: 1) analyze successful case studies of market-led interventions and mechanisms in Kenya and identify key learnings; 2) support technology transfer partnerships in a select climate mitigation and adaptation technology in Uganda; and 3) understand…

• Publication 6 September 2022 The Emissions Gap Report 2014 This fifth Emissions Gap report has a different focus from previous years. While it updates the 2020 emissions gap analysis, it gives particular attention to the implications of the global carbon dioxide emissions budget for staying within the 2 °C limit beyond 2020. It does so because countries are giving increasing attention to where they need to be in 2025, 2030 and beyond. Furthermore, this year’s update of the report benefits from the findings on the emissions budget from the latest series…
