- News 18 December 2019 ESCOs in the NDCs During the COP25 negotiations in Madrid, the Global ESCO Network invited COP attendees and energy professionals to an event that explored the possibilities of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and Energy Performance Contracting for raising the ambitions in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). By integrating ESCOs in national governments' NDC development processes the energy industry can help unleashing immense, and profitable, energy efficiency investments supporting the achievement of…
- News 17 December 2019 COP25 - Loss and Damage outcomes The 25th Conference of the Parties (COP25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held from 2 to 13 December 2019. Key objectives were agreeing on the modalities that govern carbon markets, and increasing the level of ambition of Nationally Determined Contributions. Loss and damage featured prominently in the discussions, partly because the COP coincided with the review of the Warsaw International Mechanism for loss and damage associated with climate…

- News 26 November 2019 Annual 7% decrease in emissions needed for next decade Global greenhouse gas emissions should fall over 7 per cent each year from 2020 to 2030 to get on track to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C and minimize climate disruption to lives, the planet and economies, the new Emissions Gap Report says today. The Emissions Gap Report, launched today, shows that collective ambition must increase more than fivefold over current levels to deliver the cuts, needed to hit the most-ambitious temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Each year, the UN Environment…
- Event 25 November 2019 Technology Needs Assessments linkages with Nationally Determined Contributions Both the TNAs and NDCs processes are country driven with a common aim of implementation. The mature TNA methodology, which provides a basis for many successfully implemented technology projects and programmes, could also be a solid background to build upon, when preparing and implementing the NDCs. This side event aims to enhance understanding of the synergies between the TNAs and the NDCs; to highlight countries’ experiences; and to learn about funding opportunities for countries when…
- Event 25 November 2019 The TNA-NDC Nexus Thanks to the information the Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs) provide about the potential, ability, and scale of climate change technologies, the TNAs can play a unique role in the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This event provides a platform where countries can present and discuss how they create synergies between the NDC and TNA processes in order to maximize the impacts from both processes, and concrete examples of how to go beyond planning processes,…
- News 22 November 2019 TNA solutions and impacts in Eswatini What climatic issues is Eswatini facing? Agriculture is the backbone of the economy in Eswatini, with livestock prevailing in the landlocked country of 1.3 million people. Climate change-induced dry spells and erratic rainfall patterns are affecting crop production in the country. Most farmers are dependent on rainfall for crop production and are therefore vulnerable to changes in rain patterns and reduced rainfall. Eswatini’s water and forestry sectors also face a number of challenges, with…
