• Event 9 December 2020 Incorporating Energy Service Companies in Nationally Determined Contributions - Book Launch (Webinar) Despite the high benefits and low cost of energy efficiency as a major solution for mitigating climate change, a large number of energy efficiency opportunities remain untapped due to multiple barriers. ESCOs, which combine technical expertise and financing, are businesses that can play an important role in boosting private investments in energy efficiency implementation and thus also climate change mitigation. However, ESCO are absent in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted…
• News 9 December 2020 Green pandemic recovery essential to close climate action gap A green pandemic recovery could cut up to 25 per cent off predicted 2030 greenhouse gas emissions and bring the world closer to meeting the 2°C goal of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the 2020 UNEP Emissions Gap Report finds. The annual flagship report also finds that, despite a dip in 2020 carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is still heading for a devastating temperature rise in excess of 3°C this century.
