- 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 The DigiGreen podcasts: Digital transformation and sustainability Digitalisation is an ever-increasing part of our lives, driving change and development at speeds hitherto unimaginable. In a new series of podcasts, we look at how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help drive climate action and sustainable development. Listen to the first episode here. While ICTs could help address climate concerns and enable the much-needed shift toward a circular economy, new technology also contributes to global carbon emissions and generates waste during…

- Event 13 September 2021 Unshackling ESCO Potential: Public Financial Mechanisms that Enhance the Viability of ESCO Projects In order to reduce the annual growth in global energy demand through 2040 from 1.0% to 0.3%, an estimated USD 24.5 trillion in energy efficiency (EE) investments will be needed. Across developed energy service markets around the world, the public sector can potentially mobilize the bulk of that capital by creating a demand for ESCO services and introduce financial mechanisms that will enhance project viability. Such initiatives could include the use of energy performance contracting in public…
- News 10 September 2021 Cambodia uses transparency to create policies for national demands and international standards To help aid the effective implementation of the Paris Agreement and tracking of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), UNEP DTU Partnership, through the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT), has been supporting the government of Cambodia to enhance its transparency framework.

- Webinar & E-Learning 8 September 2021 Building trust in ESCOs in a developing country context: the case of Kenya (Webinar) – 24.08.2021 To achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), developing countries need to enhance their efforts and skills to make improvements in energy efficiency that require relatively less investment. Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) are recognized as potentially important contributors to such improvements, but the ESCO markets are not yet well developed in developing countries. Kenya has a relatively blank sheet of paper for developing the right frameworks for ESCOs to address the…
