• News 28 August 2019 Reaching the potential of renewable energy and development Around the world, companies and governments are developing wind and solar projects, as well as other renewable energy schemes at an increasing pace. However, while greenhouse gas mitigation and energy security are strong drivers for these investments, large-scale renewable energy projects do not automatically benefit everyone, and are not necessarily welcomed by all. In a number of countries – including Denmark – large-scale wind- and solar power schemes sometimes face opposition by citizens…
• Event 22 August 2019 Engaging citizens in renewable energy projects Renewable energies are a key component in global efforts to address climate change. Around the world, companies and governments are developing wind and solar projects, as well as other renewable energy schemes at an increasing pace.

• News 22 July 2019 Unlocking the full potential of Africa's green energy The market for green energy in Africa has experienced unprecedented growth, in particular with solar power installed throughout the continent. However, the full potential of this growth, to create new jobs and build local industrial capacity, has yet to materialize. Power for All through their #PoweringJobs campaign, launched a first of its kind job census at an event organised by Power for All and supported by UNEP DTU Partnership in Nairobi on 18 July. The focus of the PoweringJobs campaign…
• News 18 July 2019 Partnerships for climate action: Adaptation on your phone Increased uncertainty in rainfall patterns are distorting farming cycles, lowering yields and  can create a vicious cycle of hunger and poverty in the Ghanan agricultural sector. In a sector with more than 90 % smallholder farmers, access to information on adaptation to the changing climate is not only of crucial importance to production, but also to the survival of the families living of the land. High level of mobile phone ownership created an opportunity for Viamo (previously VOTO…
• News 5 July 2019 Global partners gathered to map 2020 strategy and beyond We need district energy if we want to close the gap between our current actions and ambitions and where we need to be to reach the goals in the Paris Agreement and SDGs. Current national commitments to the Paris Agreement make for climate projections many degrees above the desired 1.5C standard to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. To achieve the energy transition necessary, it will be crucial to increase the share of renewables in power supplies while increasing…
• News 4 July 2019 New guidance on reporting about loss and damage under the Paris Agreement’s transparency framework How can governments report on loss and damage under the Paris Agreement's Transparency Framework? Which types of information should be reported, and what data can be used to evidence claims about climate change-induced loss and damage? UNEP DTU Partnership, in cooperation with University College London and the Independent University Bangladesh, has compiled a number of suggestions on this topic. These suggestions cover four central aspects associated with national-level reporting of information…
• News 28 June 2019 New manual for financing energy efficiency Energy efficiency is considered the "low-hanging fruit" of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector. It is a highly effective and economic way to reduce emissions, but global investment is critical. A new manual provides an overview of innovative financing mechanisms and business models, including case studies from around the world. The manual was written by BASE (Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy), with experts from the UNEP DTU Partnership Copenhagen Centre on Energy…
