• Publication 16 August 2021 Nordic Capacity-Building Support to LDCs and SIDS for the Implementation of the Transparency Framework of the Paris Agreement Developing countries often lack the technical capacity, tools and robust institutional frameworks to enable regular reporting on the implementation progress of the Paris Agreement. Reporting is crucial for creating national and global overview of the mitigation efforts, adaptation plans and support needed and received towards enhanced climate ambitions. The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) was established to build mutual trust and confidence, allow comparability and ensure accountability…
• Publication 16 August 2021 A methodological framework to assess the gaps from national energy efficiency policies to local actions within a multilevel governance system The role of cities has recently gained attention in the global energy arena, for instance when a delegation of 25 cities pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050 during COP23. Scientific evidence shows that cities are essential partners to work with to achieve a sustainable energy transition, while organisations such as Covenant of Mayors, ICLEI and C40 are supporting the movement towards a larger inclusion of local institutions. Historically, local governments were considered policy-takers, as…
• Publication 16 August 2021 High Energy-Efficient District Cooling System and Its Engineering Applications in India This paper introduces the studies and experience learned in district cooling project development in developed countries and adaptation process in India for city-level rapid assessment. There are five pilot Indian cities chosen to go through all the process of rapid assessment so as to outline the barriers, challenges, and potential to develop high energy-efficient district cooling system. The paper also instructs the tech-eco analysis tools for rapid assessment, which is developed by the UNEP…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Layout optimization process to minimize the cost of energy of an offshore floating hybrid wind-wave farm Offshore floating hybrid wind and wave energy is a young technology yet to be scaled up. A way to reduce the total costs of the energy production process in order to ensure competitiveness in the sustainable energy market is to maximize the farm’s efficiency. To do so, an energy generation and costs calculation model was developed with the objective of minimizing the technology’s Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of the P80 hybrid wind-wave concept, designed by the company Floating Power Plant A…
• Publication 16 August 2021 La renegociación del T-MEC: ¿ventana de oportunidad para la integración de cambio climático?
• Publication 16 August 2021 Understanding climate policy integration in the global South through the multiple streams framework Actions needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change have often synergies and trade-offs with sectoral and sustainable development priorities, and the recent focus on SDGs and sustainable transitions highlights the need to integrate climate action into other policy spheres. This process is known as climate policy integration (CPI) or climate mainstreaming. Enhancing its understanding as a public policy making process can provide insights for its operationalization, which becomes relevant in…

• Publication 16 August 2021 Role of energy efficiency for sustainable energy for all: exploring synergies with renewable energy and energy access The global initiative Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) aims to ensure the global transition towards more sustainable energy services by 2030 through achievement of three interlinked objectives: 1) to ensure the universal access to modern energy services; 2) to double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and 3) to double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. Very often energy access, energy efficiency and renewable energy are considered to be separate areas…
