- News 24 March 2023 Energy efficiency for a liveable future The global climate crisis is threatening every human on the planet. Every increase in warming results in escalating hazards. More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall and other weather extremes further increase risks for human health and ecosystems, affecting vulnerable populations the most. The good news is that there are several possible ways to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, and they are available now. This is one of the main conclusions of the latest report from the…
- Project 21 March 2023 Accelerating Climate Technology Transition (ACTT) UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is working with national stakeholders including technology solution providers, distributors, end-users, customers, policy makers and potential investors to generate market assessments, concepts, and financing models relevant for increasing uptake and investment into specific ‘ready to market’ climate technology solutions. Accelerating Climate Technology Transition (ACTT) aims to foster diffusion of nationally prioritized technologies for climate mitigation (such…
- News 10 March 2023 From plans to implementation Technologies are critical to our response to the climate crisis, and climate technologies play an integral part in national climate plans. But how do we move from Technology Action Plans, developed under the TNA project to actual implementation, and what actually works and creates real change? These were some of the questions discussed during the recent TNA global workshop held in Bangkok. During the workshop successful examples of implementation were shared between countries which…
- News 18 January 2023 Yemen and Somalia moving towards a climate technology win-win Yemen and Somalia are working to make climate action a win-win, tackling the impacts of both conflicts and climate crisis, while also addressing some of the underlying causes of both. Despite significant challenges, both countries are pushing for meaningful climate action addressing the most urgent vulnerabilities and some of the causes of unrest, while paving the way for more climate friendly development and growth. Yemen and Somalia are both considered some of the most vulnerable when it…

- Webinar & E-Learning 25 November 2022 District Energy - A Case study of Floating Office in Rotterdam (Webinar) - 06.10.2022 Floating Office Rotterdam is the largest floating office in the world. Off-grid and carbon-neutral, it floats if water levels rise due to climate change. The heat pump with surface water heat exchange is one of the innovations that showcases the building’s mission for climate change. The heat/cold generation is supplied by 2 heat pumps which are placed in the floating building’s pontoon. The pontoon consists of 15 similar prefab concrete floating boxes, with a heat-generating network of tubes…
