• Project 13 November 2018 African Carbon Asset Development (ACAD) Facility I & II The African Carbon Asset Development (ACAD) Facility was originally established in 2009 at the height of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project development to address the widespread concern that CDM evaded the African continent. As the market shifted away from CDM and into other concepts like Programmes of Activity, NAMAs and microfinance, ACAD II followed. ACAD was an innovative public-private partnership that collaborated not only with local project developers to enhance their awareness,…
• Project 26 October 2018 Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) The Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) aims to strengthen capacities in developing countries to assess the impacts of their climate policies and actions and to support greater transparency, effectiveness, ambition and trust in climate policies worldwide. The Initiative works with countries to build capacities on understanding and applying tools and approaches to measure, report and verify (MRV) greenhouse gas emissions reductions and adaptation action, as well as to strengthen…
• Project 11 October 2018 Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) The Facilitating Implementation and Readiness for Mitigation (FIRM) project worked to strengthen national capacities to formulate low carbon development strategies and identify mitigation opportunities. FIRM worked within the context of national sustainable development priorities and the evolving concept of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). Towards this end, FIRM provided advice and capacity-building to stakeholders in participating countries. The project was funded by the…
• Project 10 October 2018 TENTRANS As the global transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy (RE) gathers pace, the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) in South Africa (SA) has been a game changer in terms of stimulating the deployment of large scale RE and unlocking possible pathways towards more sustainable economic, industrial, environmental and social development. Until now, over 6,000 MW of RE power has been procured across 102 projects under REIPPPP from its start in 2011 …
• Project 5 October 2018 Project Implementation for Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) The CTCN is the operational arm of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’s Technology Mechanism. It is hosted by UN Environment in collaboration with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and with the support of 11 independent organizations having expertise in climate technologies, including UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. The CTCN is a demand-driven mechanism as its services are offered upon request by developing countries, and the volume and…
• 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…
