- Event 20 October 2020 Applying Behavioral Insights for Cost-effective Energy Efficiency Interventions (Webinar) Recent developments of behavioural sciences offer valuable insights on human thinking and choices. They indicate the existence of many common human biases; the context and considerations other than personal utility maximization often affect human decisions. Hundreds of governments around the world are integrating these findings into the designing of their policies and measures. The advantage of gentle nudging for scaling up energy efficiency actions are their low costs and high effectiveness…
- News 20 October 2020 2 New briefs on Data Centres! Digitalisation Powerhouse and Energy Efficiency Potential Key messages: The digitalisation of the economy worldwide and technological innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), internet-of-things (IoT) and blockchain are driving exponential growth in the demand for data centres’ services.

- Webinar & E-Learning 29 September 2020 Unlocking energy efficiency in municipalities: water-energy nexus in existing water supply systems (Webinar) – 29.09.2020 Water availability is a main driver for sustainable development. Interdependencies between water and energy sectors are very strong and need to be addressed as a whole to be able to tackle resource stresses caused by climate change, commonly known the water-energy nexus. On the other hand, high electricity demand can lead to unsustainable costs of operation of water supply systems which directly affects public finance, budgets and tariffs for final consumers. In order to…
- Project 28 September 2020 Blockchain as a decentralizing technology platform to accelerate climate action There are three main application areas for technology innovation in the climate realm (see brochure for more information): Together with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), World Bank, and the Blockchain for Climate Foundation, we conducted a Webinar on Blockchain for Climate.
