- Webinar & E-Learning 14 October 2021 Closing the Energy Efficiency Knowledge Gaps (Webinar) – 24.09.2021 Energy efficiency – the low hanging fruit of climate action – needs to be improved, but it requires the right mix of skills and knowledge Improving energy efficiency is widely recognised as a key element and a low hanging fruit in addressing climate change while at the same time contributing to sustainable development. Specifically, energy management represents a significant opportunity for building, transport, industrial-commercial, and other sectors to reduce their energy use while…
- Tools 11 October 2021 Solar PV on municipal buildings: a guide to feasibility and financial analysis Building scale renewable energy is the most impactful action that cities can take to decarbonise their energy sector, especially with the rapidly falling costs of renewable energy technologies. City governments can move fastest by using their own underutilised rooftop space to generate electricity with solar PVs. Not only is this a cost-efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, but it can also reduce municipal reduce energy costs and generate financial…

- News 20 September 2021 New Street Lighting Energy Efficiency Calculator The tool quantifies the energy, financial and climate-saving potentials for moving away from existing inefficient street lighting technologies to intelligently controlled and efficient LED systems. With an analysis of the potential energy and CO2 savings, as well as a straightforward cost-benefit overview for any locality, city or country based on current street lighting technologies, the tool provides local governments with a detailed understanding of the specific savings and financial…
- News 16 September 2021 World is off track to meet Paris Agreement climate targets COVID-19 did not slow the relentless advance of climate change. There is no sign that we are growing back greener, as carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly recovering after a temporary blip due to the economic slowdown and are nowhere close to reduction targets. Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere continue at record levels, committing the planet to dangerous future warming, according to a new multi-agency United in Science 2021 report. Rising global temperatures are fuelling…
- News 14 September 2021 New guide: Climate Tech in an urban context Cities are not only home to growing consumption and production activities, making them large consumers of energy and major greenhouse gas emitters, they also face major challenges from climate change impacts, including heatwaves, pluvial and river flooding, coastal flooding and coastal erosion, droughts and water scarcity, vector-borne diseases, wildfires and windstorms. Active participation from cities around the world is critical to defining and implementing a system-wide technology…
