⚡Market Conditions for Energy Efficiency using ESCO models in Kenya⚡ This week we had a great workshop in #Nairobi discussing the potential of Energy Service Companies (#ESCOs) in #Kenya. #EnergyEfficiency is critical if we want to meet our #ClimateGoals and for countries to raise #ClimateAmbition in their upcoming #NDCs. To stay on track, we must collectively double the global average annual rate of #energy efficiency improvements from around 2% to over 4% every year until 2030. ESCOs can play a vital role in making the next round of NDCs financial and implementable. The workshop explored key findings from the #ESCO market report, to be released later and addressed the challenges and opportunities for scaling ESCO and Super ESCO models. 👉Read the Global ESCO Network's 2024 report Regulatory Barriers for Energy Service Companies here: https://lnkd.in/dbt2trpP It was an insightful discussion focused on enhancing energy efficiency through actionable strategies and public-private collaboration. There was also a call for enhanced collaborations between e.g. the insurance sector and the energy sector in order to enable de-risk investment. 🗝Key outcomes: ✔Deepened understanding of the ESCO market in Kenya. ✔Identified key policy and regulatory priorities. ✔Developed strategies for financing ESCO projects. ✔Strengthened partnerships to drive energy efficiency. Thanks to all stakeholders, including government officials, international organizations, and #PrivateSector representatives, for contributing to this important conversation!

Enhancing Loss and Damage Transparency: Paving the Way for COP29 and Beyond 🌱 Last week, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre hosted a Technical Workshop on #LossandDamage Indicators and Reporting Tools, bringing together experts from across 43 countries. 🌍 As we approach #COP29 and the review of the Warsaw International Mechanism, this workshop marks a crucial step towards enhancing global #climateaction and #transparency 👉"Robust indicators are not just technical tools, they are means of telling the stories of those who suffer the impacts of climate change. This workshop is timely as we approach the WIM review at COP29 and complements ongoing efforts to develop voluntary guidelines for enhancing data collection on loss and damage." - Camila Minerva Rodríguez Tavárez, co-chair of the Warsaw International Mechanism Executive Committee during the workshop. What were our highlights? 🔎Sectoral Focus: We split the focus of the workshop into sectors, to have more targeted discussions with our expert participants. We delved into the Agriculture, Cultural Heritage, Infrastructure, Health, Human Mobility, and Tourism sectors, developing comprehensive indicators for each. Cross-Cutting Themes: ✔Interconnectedness of impacts across sectors ✔Need for both immediate and long-term impact assessment ✔Importance of capturing economic and non-economic losses ✔Regional adaptability of indicators ✔Participatory approaches in data collection and assessment Contributions to Key Mechanisms: ✔Loss and Damage Fund: These indicators will support countries in preparing robust applications for the fund, helping to quantify and qualify their L&D needs across various stages of climate impacts. ✔Santiago Network: The refined indicators will enhance countries' ability to engage effectively with the Santiago Network, facilitating access to technical assistance. ✔WIM ExCom Review: The workshop's outcomes will provide valuable input for the upcoming review, demonstrating progress in L&D assessment and reporting methodologies. 🌍UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre will be presenting the results of this workshop and other findings at COP29 Azerbaijan - stay tuned for our upcoming technical report and future consultations. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the moderators of our workshop, Elizabeth Willetts Lily Salloum Lindegaard Dr. Karen Polson-Edwards Arthur Wyns Ileana Sinziana Puscas Chawanangwa Nyirenda for expertly moderating the sessions UN Environment Programme Camila Minerva Rodríguez Tavárez Fatemeh Bakhtiari Joshitha Sankam Julia Rocha Romero World Health Organization (WHO) IOM - UN Migration Christina Daszkiewicz

With the successful completion of the #NDCs 3.0 Regional Forum for #Africa this week, we have now completed six regional NDC 3.0 Forums covering the globe 🌍 This achievement marks a significant milestone in our collective efforts to support climate action globally leading up to #COP29. UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre is happy to have contributed The Forums presented key climate solutions, and climate actions were discussed with countries in the regions to support the preparation of the next round of more ambitious NDCs. The forums provided invaluable platforms for knowledge sharing, capacity building, and fostering regional cooperation on NDC implementation and tracking. Region-specific knowledge ensured that each forum was tailored to meet the unique needs and challenges of its participants. Big thanks to our partners at United Nations ESCAP, NDC Partnership & UNDP! https://lnkd.in/eGdbCUqR

Adoption of the Sustainable Development Tool under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. In early October, at its 14th meeting, the Supervisory Body of the #ParisAgreement’s #ArticleA6.4 mechanism made a significant advancement by adopting the #SustainableDevelopment Tool (SD Tool). The tool is an opportunity to raise the bar for high integrity #carbonmarkets, ensuring development goes hand-in-hand with #climate mitigation. The Sustainable Development Initiative (SDI), carried out jointly by UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre and Wuppertal Institute, welcomes this achievement, and has published a short technical analysis of the tool.
