- 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,…

These were some of the questions discussed during the recent TNA global workshop held in Bangkok. During the workshop successful examples of implementation were shared between countries which…
- News 6 March 2023 Loss and damage: Taking stock and identifying priorities In December 2022, two dozen experts, including scientists and practitioners, met in Copenhagen to discuss priority areas for support regarding climate change-driven loss and damage. Based on the discussions during the workshop and subsequent online deliberations, a summary has now been published, outlining an action agenda for continued work and research. The aim is to identify, and raise awareness about, priority areas for action in loss and damage, building on the heightened attention on loss…

The Global ESCO Network’s first webinar in 2023 presents the Super ESCO concept and provides a review of the experience so far from…
- Event 17 February 2023 Perspectives Launch - Advancing Understanding of Adequacy and Effectiveness of Adaptation in the Context of GST (Webinar) The Paris Agreement establishes the Global Stocktake (GST) to assess the progress made toward its long-term goals. One of the core functions of GST is to review the adequacy and effectiveness of adaptation and the support provided for adaptation. However, a clear and commonly accepted understanding of the concepts of ‘adequacy’ and ‘effectiveness’, as well as a practice for operationalizing them is yet to be established. To address this challenge, the Independent Global Stocktake (iGST)…
