- Project 8 May 2019 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency - Replicating and communicating success An important part of our work on creating energy efficiency projects ready for implementation is replication of success stories around the world. The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency does this by creating partnerships and disseminating best practices and lessons learnt from its research, knowledge and tools development and project implementation. The Centre actively works towards building a movement of bold action towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, attracting more cities,…
- News 3 April 2019 Global action on energy for displaced people Over 130 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance due to conflict, natural disasters, and other complex global challenges. For many of these people, access to sustainable fuel and energy is critical for survival, and how they access it affects their health, livelihoods, safety, and well-being. With these issues in mind UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre organised a side event on sustainable energy for displaced populations, during the Climate and SDGs Synergies Conference held in UN…
- Webinar & E-Learning 8 March 2019 Carbon Reduction and Energy Efficiency in the Water and Wastewater sector (Webinar) - 20.03.2019 The linkages between water and energy consumption are significant. To produce energy, water is needed and, likewise, the provision and treatment of water requires the consumption of energy, in particular of electricity (ca. 60%). Reports and analysis demonstrated that the water sector is becoming more energy-intensive, while the energy sector is increasing its water-intensity. In 2014, 120 Mtoe of energy was used in the water sector only, and the growing global water use suggests that the…
- News 15 January 2019 New partnership for the future of energy efficiency in India Today UNEP DTU Partnership and Indian Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) signed a new agreement for long-term cooperation.

- Project 12 December 2018 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency works to engage national and subnational governments to accelerate energy efficiency implementation, in line with global Sustainable energy objectives. Many developing world governments are motivated to act on energy efficiency, therefore the Copenhagen Centre can help with the capacity to realise their energy efficiency ambitions, and to develop projects that would be able to attract investments and generate actual energy savings. With a focus on the…
- News 6 December 2018 Growing gap between ambition and action: Adaptation efforts need financial boosting While climate consciousness across the globe is on the rise, the fourth UN Environment Adaptation Gap Report released today has revealed a considerable gap between countries’ preparedness for climate change and the actual measures that should be put in place to prepare communities for a future of increasing climate risks. We need to adapt our societies to a reality of climate change, with rising temperatures and more extreme weather events affecting every corner of the globe. But this vital…
- Project 19 November 2018 NAMA Development for Buildings in South East Asia The building sector is widely recognized as responsible for approximately one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions and in rapidly developing Asia, the risk of lock-in in high consumption building infrastructure is imminent. Here, energy efficiency measures, enactment of sustainable building policies, technologies, and innovative approaches to financing provide the potential for significant emission reductions. The NAMA Development for Buildings in South East Asia project assisted…
