- Project 8 October 2018 CAAST Net Plus UNEP DTU led the work of CAAST Net Plus on Africa-Europe climate change research collaborations, focusing on the role of science, technology and innovation as a means to tackle climate change. Towards that end, we generated various analytical outputs (see below), including a summary of our work in a chapter entitled “EU-Africa collaborations for climate change research and innovation: what difference have they made?” in the book EU-Africa Research and Innovation Cooperation for Global…
- Project 5 October 2018 Project Implementation for Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) The CTCN is the operational arm of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’s Technology Mechanism. It is hosted by UN Environment in collaboration with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and with the support of 11 independent organizations having expertise in climate technologies, including UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. The CTCN is a demand-driven mechanism as its services are offered upon request by developing countries, and the volume and…
- Project 3 October 2018 Adaptation Mitigation Readiness (ADMIRE) ADMIRE supports a total of 6 projects focused on adaptation or joint adaptation/mitigation: In Cambodia, this joint mitigation-adaptation project aims to develop a NAMA for sustainable charcoal. Adaptation benefits are also achieved through direct economic contributions to community forest groups, and indirect benefits of restored ecosystems. Through this project, in Ghana, farmers are able to subscribe to text and voice messages alerting them to weather variability and good practice…
