• News 13 November 2018 Achieving low-carbon and climate resilient development in Small Island Developing States Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are highly vulnerable to climate change risks and face unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to climate technology choices and investment options. Due to their vulnerability, the transfer, uptake and diffusion of key technologies is central to achieving the political vision of low-carbon and climate resilient development in SIDS. UNEP DTU Partnership is conducting climate change Technology Needs Assessments in eight SIDS (Antigua and Barbuda,…

• News 12 October 2018 A new perspective on solar power in Africa Solar power is becoming the go to technology for sustainable energy all over Africa, but trends are manifesting unevenly across the continent. To bring a new and needed perspective on the significant investment and market growth UNEP DTU Partnership has co-edited a special issue of the academic journal Energy Research and Social Science, looking at how market forces are working to complement, or replace, the role of state and donor agencies. "This is the first time a collection of full length…
• Project 10 October 2018 Wind power technology for mini-grids in rural Africa The long-term objectives of the project are to contribute to poverty reduction, stimulate economic growth and increase the supply of sustainable energy. The short- to medium-term objective is to explore the market potential and learn more about how to design solutions and business models that are suitable for rural electrification. The project will therefore conduct a market study, engage in dialogue with local communities and authorities, and demonstrate the technical, social and economic…
• Project 3 October 2018 Adaptation Mitigation Readiness (ADMIRE)   ADMIRE supports a total of 6 projects focused on adaptation or joint adaptation/mitigation: In Cambodia, this joint mitigation-adaptation project aims to develop a NAMA for sustainable charcoal. Adaptation benefits are also achieved through direct economic contributions to community forest groups, and indirect benefits of restored ecosystems. Through this project, in Ghana, farmers are able to subscribe to text and voice messages alerting them to weather variability and good practice…
• Project 30 September 2018 Technology, Markets and Investment for Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Development (TEMARIN) The TEMARIN project is a three-year, Danida funded project covering the countries of Kenya and Uganda with the overall aim to support countries in accelerating the transfer, diffusion and uptake of specific climate technologies. The project focus is on strengthening domestic markets for climate technologies, removing bottlenecks for domestic firms operating in these markets and increasing cooperation among private actors, public actors and international actors to build global and national…
• Project 30 September 2018 Rural electrification through solar powered mini-grids: a study of private sector models in Kenya In Sub-Saharan Africa more than 630 million people live without access to electricity which is a constraint to social and economic development. In Kenya more than 35 million people do not have access to electricity. Due to recent developments like price drops and increased quality in solar PV technology, better mobile coverage and access to mobile payment solutions, several mission-driven private firms have emerged in Kenya delivering power to rural residents through solar powered mini…
• Project 30 September 2018 Feasibility of Renewable Energy Resources in Mali For the purpose of planning future investment in the renewable energy sector, the Malian energy authorities, Energie du Mali, private operators and international cooperation partners expressed a need for more precise assessments of the size and variety of renewable energy resources in Mali. The Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) provided funding to a consortium of technical partners (including UDP) to map the country's renewable energy resources. The project covered five…
