- News 30 August 2023 Enabling climate technology implementation St. Kitts and Nevis is becoming better equipped for the climate action needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change and deliver on the goals of the Paris Agreement through climate technology implementation. The federation of St. Kitts and Nevis is participating in phase IV of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) project, and recently completed the first stage, where a set of mitigation and adaptation technologies have been prioritized for further assessment and analysis under the project…
- Project 24 August 2023 Policy and partnerships for sustainability and climate action at the Last Mile Currently, more than 1.5% of the global population are forcibly displaced. Now at over 120 million people this is nearly double the number from a decade ago, with women and girls being the most affected. If current trends and drivers of displacement remain then this number is likely to increase, with up to 216 million people internally displaced by environmental crises alone by 2050. These figures from UNEP’s Foresights Report (2024) show how multiple crises of conflict,…

- News 4 August 2023 Tunisia adds cost model to climate action tool-box Climate action that drastically cuts emissions is more needed than ever as countries everywhere are looking for the best climate policies to reach the global climate goals. With an in-depth training session in the use of the Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO), Tunisia now has a tool that allows to analyze and compare mitigation actions (before being carried out) in terms of their abatement costs and emissions reduction potential. GACMO can be used to prepare GHG emissions projections …
- News 3 August 2023 From waste to wheels: Transforming Jordan's transport sector A concrete project concept to reshape Jordan's transport sector was presented in Amman in July. The aim is to convert Jordan’s waste collection fleet to run on bio compressed natural gas (bio-CNG) instead of diesel, using methane captured from landfills as sustainable transport fuel. The concept outlines how to convert biomethane into bio-CNG, transforming waste into a valuable transport fuel and to initially upgrade the country’s waste collection trucks, significantly reducing Jordan’s…
