Chilean schools get solar power through ADMIRE pilot project
|
|
Based on the UNEP DTU project ADMIRE, the Chilean initiative for local energy investments has chosen to support a project installing solar panels and LED lighting in six schools.
The pilot project on energy efficiency and renewable energy is a public private partnership and is setting out to prove that there is a business case in investments in sustainable energy in public institutions.

Large scale renewable energy project to create jobs and develop local communities in South Africa
|
|
Public procurement of renewable energy in South Africa has seen significant changes in recent years. The price on renewable energy has dropped significantly, but the procurement process is not just focusing on prices.
One of the aims of the changes has been to make sure that production of solar and wind energy contributes to the development of local industry and local communities. A new UNEP DTU project will be looking at the market-based transition towards renewable energy in South Africa from a community and industrial development perspective.

Sustainable energy for refugees: UNEP DTU contributing to global action plan
|
|
|
Need for fuel is becoming a source of conflict between refugees and local communities in many countries in the developing world. UNEP DTU is working with NGO's, the UN system, academia and the private sector to develop a global action plan for access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy services.

Climate adaptation initiatives are more important than ever, and globally more and more funds are invested in climate resilience. But how do we measure success? Are we succeeding in making our societies and economies less vulnerable and more resilient to the impacts of climate change? UNEP DTU Partnership has dedicated a new edition of its perspectives series to the metrics of adaptation.

In most developing and developed countries, arrangements for implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) are revealing gaps in institutional capacities. In this new non-technical guide by UNEP DTU Partnership, we describe the types of capacities needed, identify areas where developing country government capacities are generally limited, and provide recommendations for building these capacities.

UNEP DTU Partnership has developed a Low Carbon Development Strategy for the Nicaraguan livestock sector, focusing specifically on the production of cattle. It is a proposal for a way forward that would enable implementation of good livestock practices to improve production in the 2016-2030 period, while contributing to substantive mitigation of GHG emissions.

Overcoming Barriers to Investing in Energy Efficiency contributes fresh perspectives to the issue of energy efficiency investments, by bringing to light the valuable insights on the challenges and solutions for overcoming barriers to such investments provided by practitioners working in the field. This was obtained through a survey of UNECE countries, as well as countries beyond the region. This study is the outcome of a collaboration between UNECE and the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency, part of the UNEP DTU Partnership.
