- News 19 November 2019 New reports on trade in Environmentally Sound Technologies The UNEP DTU Partnership has recently finalised a project entitled "Trade in Environmentally Sound Technologies: Implications for Developing Countries", which was undertaken in cooperation with the UN Environment and Trade Hub. The project aimed at enhancing the understanding of the implications, capacity needs and enabling conditions for trade liberalization of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) in developing countries. Key outputs of the project include the preparation of two regional…
- News 28 August 2019 Reaching the potential of renewable energy and development Around the world, companies and governments are developing wind and solar projects, as well as other renewable energy schemes at an increasing pace. However, while greenhouse gas mitigation and energy security are strong drivers for these investments, large-scale renewable energy projects do not automatically benefit everyone, and are not necessarily welcomed by all. In a number of countries – including Denmark – large-scale wind- and solar power schemes sometimes face opposition by citizens…
- Event 22 August 2019 Engaging citizens in renewable energy projects Renewable energies are a key component in global efforts to address climate change. Around the world, companies and governments are developing wind and solar projects, as well as other renewable energy schemes at an increasing pace. However, while greenhouse gas mitigation is a strong driver for these investments, large-scale renewable energy projects do not automatically benefit everyone, and are not necessarily welcomed by all.

- News 22 July 2019 Unlocking the full potential of Africa's green energy The market for green energy in Africa has experienced unprecedented growth, in particular with solar power installed throughout the continent. However, the full potential of this growth, to create new jobs and build local industrial capacity, has yet to materialize. Power for All through their #PoweringJobs campaign, launched a first of its kind job census at an event organised by Power for All and supported by UNEP DTU Partnership in Nairobi on 18 July. The focus of the PoweringJobs campaign…
- Webinar & E-Learning 8 March 2019 Carbon Reduction and Energy Efficiency in the Water and Wastewater sector (Webinar) - 20.03.2019 The linkages between water and energy consumption are significant. To produce energy, water is needed and, likewise, the provision and treatment of water requires the consumption of energy, in particular of electricity (ca. 60%). Reports and analysis demonstrated that the water sector is becoming more energy-intensive, while the energy sector is increasing its water-intensity. In 2014, 120 Mtoe of energy was used in the water sector only, and the growing global water use suggests that the…

- Project 19 November 2018 NAMA Development for Buildings in South East Asia The building sector is widely recognized as responsible for approximately one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions and in rapidly developing Asia, the risk of lock-in in high consumption building infrastructure is imminent. Here, energy efficiency measures, enactment of sustainable building policies, technologies, and innovative approaches to financing provide the potential for significant emission reductions. The NAMA Development for Buildings in South East Asia project assisted…
