- Publication 16 August 2021 Layout optimization process to minimize the cost of energy of an offshore floating hybrid wind-wave farm Offshore floating hybrid wind and wave energy is a young technology yet to be scaled up. A way to reduce the total costs of the energy production process in order to ensure competitiveness in the sustainable energy market is to maximize the farm’s efficiency. To do so, an energy generation and costs calculation model was developed with the objective of minimizing the technology’s Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of the P80 hybrid wind-wave concept, designed by the company Floating Power Plant A…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Climate change-induced loss and damage in small-island developing states in the Pacific: a scan of the scientific literature This document synthesises the key findings of just over a hundred documents in the scientific literature. It has been prepared as input to one of the activities undertaken in the European Union-funded SINCERE project (http://www.jpi-climate.eu/sincere). The document consists of two sections. The first section outlines the process followed to select the literature, and gives and overview of the documents reviewed. Details are provided in Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively. The second section…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Blockchain and Tokenized Securities: The Potential for Green Finance Green investment vehicles are limited by multiple market failures, such as high transaction costs for certification and monitoring, and high minimum investment sizes. In this exploratory study, we apply an inductive approach based on qualitative evidence from expert feedback to assess the potential of blockchain-based security tokens to address these market failures. The tokenization of real assets or debt/equity instruments reduces transaction costs throughdisintermediation and automation,…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Designing a Blockchain Model for the Paris Agreement’s Carbon Market Mechanism This paper examines the benefits and constraints of applying blockchain technology for the Paris Agreement carbon market mechanism and develops a list of technical requirements and soft factors as selection criteria to test the feasibility of two different blockchain platforms. The carbon market mechanism, as outlined in Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, can accelerate climate action by enabling cooperation between national Parties. However, in the past, carbon markets were limited by several…
- Publication 16 August 2021 La renegociación del T-MEC: ¿ventana de oportunidad para la integración de cambio climático?
- Publication 16 August 2021 Understanding climate policy integration in the global South through the multiple streams framework Actions needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change have often synergies and trade-offs with sectoral and sustainable development priorities, and the recent focus on SDGs and sustainable transitions highlights the need to integrate climate action into other policy spheres. This process is known as climate policy integration (CPI) or climate mainstreaming. Enhancing its understanding as a public policy making process can provide insights for its operationalization, which becomes relevant in…
