• News 8 November 2018 Carving the way forward for urban transport in India How can we create an ecosystem, where electric vehicles are the most frequent means of transportation in India? A sustainable transportation system contributing to climate change mitigation as well as improved air quality and increased mobility for all Indians? At the annual flagship event Urban Mobility India these questions, among many others were asked and answers were offered by experts, stakeholders and policymakers. UNEP DTU Partnership has been participating in the Urban Mobility India…
• 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 A policy framework for non-motorised transport in Rajkot, India Public transport and non-motorized transport can be up to 20 times more space-efficient than private cars. This is particularly relevant in an urban context where space is a constrained resource. Yet space use is rarely assessed explicitly in urban transport planning, the connection between low carbon transport planning agendas and the wider concept of ecological footprint is not widely understood or appreciated. And there exists no standard method for quantifying the use of space in complex…
• 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 Electric Mobility Electric vehicles (EVs) are seen as a promising technology option by several countries for reducing air pollution in cities, improving energy security and creating green jobs. EVs are also recognised as a serious option for mitigation of CO2 emissions from the transport sector and the integration of renewable energy in the electricity sector. The market share of EVs crossed the 1% mark in a few developed countries in 2017 due to stable policies and incentives. However, with the exception…
• Project 30 September 2018 Promoting Low-carbon Transport in India This project contributed to efforts by the Indian Government to transition towards low-carbon transport systems. India is currently the fourth largest GHG emitter in the world, with its transport sector being the second largest contributor of CO2 emissions. The project recognized the need to reduce transport emissions through adoption of a sustainability approach.  The outputs of the project include roadmaps developed with local stakeholders, Low-Carbon Mobility Plans for three cities, and…
• News 4 June 2018 Transport Summit DTU: Where are the Indian EVs? Globally many countries are moving towards more electric vehicles (EVs) on the streets and worldwide the share of EVs has increased to more than 1%. In India, the government has also prioritised EVs in their nationally determined contribution (NDC). There is a favourable national climate when it comes to EVs, and the national government is pushing for electrification of transport. A lot of incentives are being provided to bring down the initial purchase costs. Usually this should translate into…
• News 6 April 2017 Reports on Energy Efficiency in China and India launched at SEforALL Forum The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency officially launched two reports on energy efficiency in China and India at the SEforAll Forum in New York on Monday, 3 April. Fuel efficiency standards, solar rooftop systems, and public transport improvements are just a few of the success stories detailed in two new reports on energy efficiency in China and India. Going back as far as 2000, the reports present the most successful and effective policies and measures of the world’s two largest…
