Join us at a Workshop on Integrated Urban Energy on 9th September at 09:00-10:00 EDT Sign up: https://cutt.ly/QWO1ASE Cities use over two-thirds of the world’s #energy and play a unique role as planners and managers of infrastructure to integrate energy systems across #buildings, #transport, #heating/cooling, #industry, and #powergrids. This integration is crucial to deliver improved efficiency, circularity, and greater use of #renewables in #cities and thereby accelerate the transition to a clean, cost-effective, resilient, net-zero energy system by 2050. Cities and #municipalities, national #governments, companies, utilities, and other stakeholders working on urban issues are invited to sign up to a Coalition for supporting cities to deliver Integrated Urban Energy Systems being coordinated by UN Environment Programme (UNEP) in partnership with Global Covenant of Mayors, Mission Innovation, European Commission and the World Economic Forum with technical support from UNEP DTU partnership. This is being organized with UN Energy to also provide insights on the submission of Energy Compacts to the High Level Dialogue on Energy #HLDE2021.

Husk webinaret på torsdag! Madspild og fødevaretab har stor negativ påvirkning på #klima, #miljø og #økonomi. Webinaret "Strategi og indsatser mod madspild - indspil til klimaarbejdet i kommuner og virksomheder" giver indblik i nogle af de nyeste resultater fra danske og udenlandske projekter samt værktøjer til at forebygge #madspild i hele #værdikæden. Tid: 10 Februar 2022, 12.30 - 15.30. Tilmelding: https://lnkd.in/eqxryTZw Arrangør: #DAKOFA - Dansk Kompetencecenter for Affald og Ressourcer. Baggrund: Madspild og fødevaretab har stor negativ påvirkning på klima, miljø og økonomi. Madspild er den del af madaffaldet, der kunne være spist, men som af forskellige årsager er blevet kasseret. I #Danmark er den årlige mængde af madaffald opgjort til ca. 1,2 mio. tons, hvoraf madspild udgør ca. 800.000 tons. Den danske regering har en målsætning om at reducere mængden af madaffald - inkl. madspild - i alle led af værdikæden for fødevarer fra jord til bord og at bidrage til, at #FN’s #Verdensmål 12.3 indfries. Kommuner og virksomheder, som arbejder med mad- og #bioaffald har indflydelse på indsamling og #genanvendelse af #madaffald, og kan være med til at tydeliggøre, at store dele af madaffaldet faktisk er madspild, som kunne være undgået. Ledelse og medarbejdere i disse organisationer skal aktiveres for at opnå resultater. Det kræver samarbejde på tværs i organisationerne og at #affalds- og #ressourcesektoren er med til at skabe forståelse for og udvikle redskaber til hele #fødevareværdikæden. Webinaret vil være med til at klæde medarbejdere i #kommuner og #virksomheder på til dette arbejde og giver indblik i forskellige tilgange og metoder mod #madspild.

Policies and projects promoting #sustainabledevelopment, including the use of safeguards to avoid negative impacts, can increase stakeholder support and public acceptance, increase market value, and raise #climateaction ambition. The awareness of integrated solutions to climate change and sustainability challenges is growing due to the development of new #SDG assessment tools that can help identify how projects and policies can maximize benefits and avoid or mitigate negative impacts. Join us for a webinar offering policymakers and other stakeholders an introduction to existing and new SDG assessment tools at the project level in Asia.

"Conflict in Somalia is to a large extent being fueled by the climate crisis and natural resource degradation. On the other hand, the conflict situation makes the country and communities more vulnerable to the effects of climate change resulting in recurrent humanitarian crises." Plagued by unrest and conflict, #ClimateChange is making everything worse. But #Yemen and #Somalia are using TNAs to see a way using #ClimateTech in meaningful #climateaction.

Few issues pose a greater threat to the health of the planet and people than #air #pollution and #climatechange. Fortunately, awareness is also growing of the co-benefits of tackling #airpollution together with climate change through integrated solutions. Experts will present tools at the national, city and project level for use by decision-makers and stakeholders in #Asia, followed by a panel discussion. Join this webinar to learn more: https://cutt.ly/OIru3R8 14 January - 9AM EU/8AM UK/4PM Manila/5PM Tokyo The #webinar is part of a knowledge-exchange webinar series on 'Assessing the Climate and Sustainable Development Impacts of Projects and Policies' jointly organised by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and UNEP DTU Partnership in context of the Sustainable Development Initiative (SDI) for #Article6 of the #ParisAgreement.

This new issue brief is an output of the #Technology, Markets and Investment for Low #Carbon and #Climate Resilient Development (TEMARIN) project, focused on strengthening markets for climate technologies in #Kenya and #Uganda. Download brief: https://cutt.ly/kUKF7A7 In recent years there has been much discussion about 'digital transformation' in the agrifood system and its role in enabling climate resilient development. Given the lack of clear and compelling data to connect these two trends, this issue brief examines the gap between the rhetoric and reality regarding the current role and importance of digital solutions for #agricultural value chains in #Africa, including those that can be termed 'climate smart', with a focus on the role of the private-sector in the development and diffusion of these solutions. As such, this brief is focused on analyzing the market for digital #technologies, used specifically in the Kenyan agricultural sector, rather than exploring the impacts (on markets and production systems) of these technologies per se. It is based on a pilot study from Kenya carried out in 2021.
