This webinar marks the launch of a new policy brief developed by UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre’s “Business Models and Finance to Enhance Energy Efficiency in AI and Data Centres in Emerging Economies.” The brief highlights the urgent need to align the rapid expansion of AI and digital infrastructure with sustainable energy practices, especially in emerging economies where power systems are […]

The recent approval of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) Net Zero Framework (NZF) marks a major turning point for the shipping industry – and presents a significant opportunity for developing countries. This webinar will take a closer look at what the NZF means in practice, especially for developing states. Together with the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping […]

Improving energy efficiency in buildings is a critical step toward reducing energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and enhancing energy security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like Africa. As buildings are among the largest energy consumers, integrating energy-efficient strategies not only reduces environmental impact but also contributes to long-term cost savings, improved occupant comfort, and sustainable development. This three-day virtual training […]

The shipping industry significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, making maritime decarbonization vital for climate action. As the world works toward ambitious climate goals, the decarbonization of maritime transport is essential to reducing emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. This webinar, held in collaboration with the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), will explore the critical role […]

This webinar will explore the crucial role of energy efficiency in the rapidly expanding data centre industry. With the increasing demand for data services, the need to improve the energy efficiency of data centres has never been more critical. The session will cover innovations in cooling technologies and sustainable practices to reduce the environmental impact of these facilities. Expert speakers […]

This webinar will focus on the critical role of energy efficiency within the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of key African countries. Speakers from Ghana, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, and Mauritius will present their strategies for integrating energy efficiency into their NDCs to combat climate change. These discussions are essential for amplifying energy efficiency initiatives, exploring opportunities for policy alignment, and […]

El Webinar se va a hacer en Español A medida que los países revisan sus Contribuciones Nacionalmente Determinadas (NDC, por sus siglas en inglés) en el marco del Acuerdo de París, el rol de la eficiencia energética se vuelve cada vez más relevante. Las medidas de eficiencia energética pueden reducir significativamente las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, mejorar la seguridad […]

El Webinar se va a hacer en Español Una de las principales barreras con que se encuentra la aplicación de medidas de eficiencia energética en los distintos sectores es el acceso a financiamiento. Por un lado, en ciertos casos se requieren períodos de repago más largos que los esperados para ciertas inversiones debido a la presencia de subsidios a la energía; […]

El Webinar se va a hacer en Español Las edificaciones son responsables del 32% del consumo de energía mundial y un 25% de las emisiones de CO2. Edificios más eficientes pueden generar beneficios económicos, reducir el impacto ambiental, mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas y la productividad de las ciudades. La eficiencia energética en edificaciones no solo reducirá los […]

India’s per capita carbon emissions are low, about 1.8 tons, but the combined figure makes it the third largest emitter globally. The Energy Conservation Act in 2001 introduced energy service companies in the country to induce private capital into energy efficiency. This makes India one of the important markets for ESCO services, where ESCOs have been active for more than […]
