• Publication 6 October 2021 Guidebook for the Development of a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action on Efficient Lighting This Guidebook illustrates how to create an efficient lighting NAMA based on a country-led national efficient lighting strategy. It aims to be a practical resource for governments (ministries of energy, environment, housing, climate change, finance, planning and others), private sector investors and civil society organizations. Users already may have developed an efficient lighting strategy, or may be in the process of developing one10. Furthermore, users may have an interest in articulating a…
• Publication 6 October 2021 Multilateral Work related to Climate Change: Multilateral action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Publication 6 October 2021 The Adaptation Finance Gap Report UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report series focuses on Finance, Technology and Knowledge gaps in climate change adaptation. It compliments the Emissions Gap Report series, and explores the implications of failing to close the emissions gap. The report builds on a 2014 assessment by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which laid out the concept of ‘adaptation gaps’ and outlined three such gaps: technology, finance and knowledge. The 2016 Adaptation Gap Report assesses the difference between…
• Publication 6 October 2021 The Business Case for Responsible Corporate Adaptation: Strengthening Private Sector and Community Resilience. Every day, the reality of climate change is more present and visible. From record-setting heat waves, hurricanes and typhoons to fast- rising ocean temperature to fast-melting sea ice, the need to anticipate, prepare and adapt to climate change has never been as clear. Businesses have a key role to play in supporting social, ecological and economic resilience to climate change impacts and a responsibility to protect their value chain and serve their customers. To date, climate action in the…
• Publication 6 October 2021 Emissions Gap (UNEP)
• Publication 6 October 2021 Emissions Gap Report 2020 The report finds that, despite a brief dip in carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is still heading for a temperature rise in excess of 3°C this century – far beyond the Paris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C. However, a low-carbon pandemic recovery could cut 25 per cent off the greenhouse emissions expected in 2030, based on policies in place before COVID-19. Such a recovery would far outstrip savings foreseen with…
• Project 1 October 2021 A Circular Bioeconomy for the Kenyan Dairy Sector (VALORISE) The Global food system is the single largest driver of environmental change, contributing to 24% of global emissions and consuming 70% of the world's blue water. At the same time 2 billion people are live with food insecurity. All this while 24% of calories produced for humans are lost or wasted in the supply chain, and food loss and waste (FLW) represents 3.3 billion tons of GHGs - equivalent to making it the 3rd largest emitting 'country' in the world. Looking at the Kenyan dairy-sector, the…
• Publication 30 September 2021 Transport In 2019, before the COVID-19 global health pandemic altered production and consumption patterns, the transport sector accounted for around 24 per cent of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions worldwide (1). Out of this, road transport accounts for three-quarters of emissions and urban transport accounted for halft of these emissions (2). Not least, urban transport results in additional negative social and environmental impacts, such as local air pollution (through emissions of nitrogen oxides…
